Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII
Stone carving by John Roddis of Birmingham at St Augustine Edgbaston.

There is an old tale goes that Herne the Hunter,
Sometime a keeper here in Windsor Forest,
Doth all the wintertime, at still midnight,
Walk round about an oak, with great ragged horns..
The Merry Wives of Windsor
