   My box would speak, If it had but a tongue, And a penny or two, Would do it no wrong. Sing holly, sing ivy, Sing ivy, sing holly, A drop just to drink, Would drown melancholy. And if you draw it, Of the best I hope in heaven Your soul may rest. But if you draw it, Of the small, It won't agree With the wren boys at all.
