JACK HORNER was a pretty lad, near London he did dwell, His father's heart be made full glad, His mother lov'd him well: She often ſet him on her lap, to turn him dry beneath, And fed him with ſweet ſugar-pap, becauſe he had no teeth. While little Jack was ſweet and young if he by chance ſhould cry, His mother pretty ſonnets ſung, with a lulla-babby-by. A pretty boy, a curious wit, all people ſpoke his praiſe, And in the corner he would ſit on Chriſtmas holidays,
