Quotes

• Good King Wenceslas look'd out
    On the Feast of Stephen,
  When the snow lay round about,
    Deep, and crisp, and even.
  • "Good King Wenceslas", st. 1, in Carols for Christmas-Tide (Novello & Co., 1853)

• Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
    Bring me pine-logs hither.
  • "Good King Wenceslas", st. 3

• In his master’s steps he trod,
    Where the snow lay dinted;
  Heat was in the very sod
    Which the Saint had printed.
