- (continued from previous page)"Your name is Jack Madden.
Your life we will sadden.
You made our song badden.
So here are two humps for you Jack Madden."
- In Oylegate, there once lived a man who had a Meal Store. One day the shopkeeper was very busy and an old traveller came in. The shopkeeper looked angry at him, and asked him what he wanted. The traveller said "nothing". The shopkeeper told him if he wanted nothing he would get that outside the door. The traveller told him to come out and put it up on his back if he pleased.
