JACK JINGLE
Reading edition
JACK JINGLE went 'prentice To make a horse-shoe, He wasted the iron Till it would not do. His master came in, And began for to rail; Says Jack, "the shoe's spoiled, But 't will still make a nail."
He tried at the nail, But, chancing to miss, Says, "If it won't make a nail, It shall yet make a hiss." Then into the water Threw the hot iron, smack! "Hiss!" quoth the iron; "I thought so," says Jack.
