LXXVI. THE JEW'S GARDEN

 

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.
Oh, then out came the Jew's daughter,
She was dressed all in green,
'Come hither, come hither, my pretty fellow,
And fetch your ball again.'
