CHARM FOR TOOTHACHE,
TO BE WRITTEN AND WORN
Peter sat on a marble stone,
When by here Jesus came aloan.
"Peter what is it makes you for to quake?"
"Lord Jesus, it is the toothake."
"Rise, Peter, and be heled."
Come, butter, come!
Come, butter, come!
Peter is at the gate
Waiting the butter and loaf,
Come, butter, come!
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
Went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.
Jill came in and she did grin,
To see his paper plaster,
Mother vexed, did whip her next,
For causing Jack's disaster.
Little John Jig Jag,
Rode on a penny nag,
And went to Wigan to woo;
When he came to a beck
He fell and broke his neck,
Johnny, how dost thou now?
Little General Monk
Sat upon a trunk,
Eating a crust of bread;
There fell a hot coal,
And burnt in his clothes a hole,
Now little General Monk is dead.
