Here is the House that once was Jack’s :
He did not care for giants, but sacks;
Perhaps that’s why, for all his sport
In Cats and Rats, his tale’s so short.
But when you come to the end, why then,
You may read it through all over again!

This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright,
Heigho, says Rowley,
He took up his hat, and he wished them
good-night. _

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Heigho, says Rowley,
A lily-white duck came and gobbled him
up.
With a rowley powley, gammon

Heigho, says Anthony Rowley !
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
