SIR HUGH, OR, THE JEW'S DAUGHTER—P

[_]

Halliwell, Ballads and Poems respecting Hugh of Lincoln, p. 37, Halliwell's Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales, p. 192, ed. 1849: communicated by Miss Agnes Strickland, from oral tradition at Godalming, Surrey.

He tossed the ball so high, so high,
He tossed the ball so low,
He tossed the ball in the Jew's garden,
And the Jews were all below.

She was dressed all in green:
‘Come hither, come hither, my sweet pretty fellow,
And fetch your ball again.’
