[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.
