[Illustration]
JACK and JILL, Went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water, Jack fell down, And broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.
[Illustration]
Then up JACK got, And home did trot, As fast as he could caper; DAME GILL did the job, To plaster his nob, With Vinegar and brown paper.
[Illustration]
Then JILL came in, And she did grin, To see JACK'S paper plaster, Her mother put her, A fools cap on, For laughing at Jack's disaster.
[Illustration]
This made JILL pout, And she ran out, And JACK did quickly follow, They rode dog Ball, Jill got a fall, How Jack did laugh and hollow.
[Illustration]
The DAME came out, To know all about, Jill said Jack made her tumble, Says Jack I'll tell, You how she fell, Then judge if she need grumble.
[Illustration]
DAME GILL did grin, As she went in, And Jill was plagu'd Jack, O! Will Goat came by, And 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.
