- (continued from previous page)This is the spade both stout and strong
That made the grave both broad and long
That buried the huntsman hound and horn,
That chasted the fox from under the thorns,
That killed the cock that crew early in the morning.
That wakened the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn to the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpily horns,
That tossed the Little dog over the barn
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That knaved to rope,
That tied the sack,
That held the malt that lay in the house that Jack built.
