Jackus Et Jilla.

By Jacob Bigelow

Jack 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.
