Two poems for TWOsday

WEATHER                                     COMPARATIVES

Whether the weather be fine,                  Good, better, best,
Whether the weather be cold,                 Never let it rest,  
Or whether the weather be hot,              Till your good is better
We'll weather the weather                       And your better best.    
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!                                                 ANON

                            ANON

I "hear" these in a sing-songy rhythm.  Am I the only one?  These are from A Child's Treasury of Poems, edited by Mark Daniel, p. 18 (L) and p. 30 (R).  And once again, I can't figure out how to include the book cover illustration.
