Jackus Et Jilla.
by Jacob BigelowJack and Jill
Went up the hill,
To draw a pail of water;
Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Jackus cum Jill'
Formos' ancill',
Aquam hauriturus collem ascendebat;
Prolabitur Jackus,
Caput miser' fractus,
Et Jilla desperata in fatum ruebat.
