nd made Jack cry,
And knock'd him on his back, O!
[Illustration]
Now JILL did laugh,
And JACK did cry,
But his tears did soon abate,
Then Jill did say,
That they should play,
At sea-saw a cross the gate.
[Illustration]
They sea-saw'd high,
They sea-saw'd low,
At length they both did tumble,
We both are down,
We both must own,
Let neither of us grumble.
[Illustration]
Then the next thing,
They made a swing,
But JILL set up a big cry,
For the swing gave way,
In the midst of the play,
And threw her into the Pigstye.
[Illustration]
The SOW came by,
Says Jack I'll try,
If I cant ride this prancer,
He gave a jump,
On old sows rump,
But she led him a droll dance Sir.
[Illustration]
SOW ran and squal'd,
While JACK he bawl'd,
And JILL join'd in the choir,
Dog Ball being near,
Bit sow by the ear,
And threw Jack in the mire.
[Illustration]
Tho' JACK was not hurt,
He was all over dirt,
I wish you had but seen him,
And how JILL did jump,
With him to the pump,
And pump'd on him to clean him.
[Illustration]
Hearing the rout,
DAME GILL came out,
With a horse-whip from the door,
She laid it on Jack,
And poor Jill's back,
Untill they both did roar.
[Illustration]
BALL held sow's ear,
And both in rear,
Ran against old DAME and hither,
That she did fall,
Over sow and Ball,
How Jack and Jill did twiter.
[Illustration]
And now all three,
Went in to see,
To put the place to right all,
Which done they sup,
Then drink a cup,
And with you a good night all.
DAME GILL has been to ALDIS,
To buy them all Books,
You may see how they are pleased
By the smiles in their looks.
[Illustration]
Now if you are good and deserving regard,
This book full of Pictures shall be your reward.
