Original text and translations

English text

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
    Thou art not so unkind
        As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
        Although thy breath be rude.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
    That dost not bite so nigh
        As benefits forgot:
    Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
        As friend remembered not.

As You Like It
Act 2, Scene 7
