9 CHAP.IV.

An old Hermit gives Jack an inviſible

Coat and a pair of enchanted Pipes, with

which he plays many tricks.

UPON a pleaſant holiday

Jack going to a fair,

And as he paſt along the way,

he ſaw a wonder there;

An aged man ſat in a cave,

that could not ſtand nor go,

His head wore bloſſoms of the grave,

and look’d as white as ſnow.

He call’d to Jack, and this did ſay,

come hither lad to me,

And it thou doſt my will obey,

rewarded thou ſhalt be.
