( 6 ) And therefore in my gloomy cell

I have a place for thee.

For you have been a friend indeed,

I ſuch a taylor lackː

Therefore come away with ſpeed,

I'd bear thee on mv back.

Sweet Mr Devil then he cry’d,

O pardon me I pray.

I can’t, I won’t, he then reply’d,

make haſte and come away.

The tavlor naked to the ſkin,

his bed he did refrain,

And down the town thro’ thick & thin,

he ran with might and main.

Jack Horner follow’d him a while,

but left him at the laſt;

Then to himſelf did laugh amain

to think of what had paſt.

CHAP. III.

How he ſerved the COOK MAID, who

broke his HEAD with a LADLE for

making SOP in the DRIPPING PAN.

Another pleaſant prank he play'd,

upon a holiday,

Unto his maſter’s ſervant maid,

it was a bloody fray.
