The holly! This life is most jolly.” The other quote comes from the verse: ‘Happy the man and happy he alone He, who can call his day his own: He who, secure within, can say, To-morrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. ‘ It is a verse in an ode by Roman poet Horace – Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65 to 8 BC.(Odes bk.3. verse 29) it was translated by English poet and playwright John Dryden, in the 17th century.
