The first and most commonly repeated verse is :
|
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 .
|
Many verses have been added to the rhyme , including a version with a total of 15 stanzas in a chapbook of the 19th century . The second verse , probably added as part of these extensions has become a standard part of the nursery rhyme . Early versions took the form :
|
Up Jack got , and home did trot ,
|
As fast as he could caper ;
|
To old Dame Dob , who patched his nob
|
With vinegar and brown paper .
|
By the early 20th century this had been modified in some collections , such as L. E. Walter 's , Mother Goose 's Nursery Rhymes ( London , 1919 ) to :
|
Up Jack got and home did trot ,
|
As fast as he could caper ;
|
And went to bed and bound his head
|
With vinegar and brown paper .
|
A third verse , sometimes added to the rhyme , was first recorded in a 19th @-@ century chapbook and took the form :
|
Then Jill came in , and she did grin ,
|
To see Jack 's paper plaster ;
|
Her mother whipt her , across her knee ,
|
For laughing at Jack 's disaster .
|
Twentieth @-@ century versions of this verse include :
|
When Jill came in how she did grin
|
To see Jack 's paper plaster ;
|
Mother vexed did whip her next
|
For causing Jack 's disaster .
|
The rhyme is made up of quatrains , with a rhyming scheme of abcb ( with occasional internal rhymes ) , using falling rhymes ( where the rhyming sound is on a relatively unstressed syllable : de @-@ emphasising the rhyme ) and a trochaic rhythm ( with the stress falling on the first of a pair of syllables ) , known as... |

The rhyme has traditionally been seen as a nonsense verse , particularly as the couple go up a hill to find water , which is often thought to be found at the bottom of hills . Vinegar and brown paper were a home cure used as a method to draw out bruises on the body . The phrase " Jack and Jill " , indicating a boy and... |
Jack is the most common name used in English language nursery rhymes and by the 18th century represented an archetypal Everyman hero , while by the end of the Middle Ages Jill or Gill had come to mean a young girl or a sweetheart . However , the woodcut that accompanied the first recorded version of the rhyme showed t... |

While the true origins of the rhyme are unknown there are several theories . As is common with nursery rhyme exegesis , complicated metaphors are often said to exist within the lyrics of Jack and Jill . Most explanations post @-@ date the first publication of the rhyme and have no corroborating evidence . These includ... |
It has also been suggested that the rhyme records the attempt by King Charles I to reform the taxes on liquid measures . He was blocked by Parliament , so subsequently ordered that the volume of a Jack ( 1 / 2 pint ) be reduced , but the tax remained the same . This meant that he still received more tax , despite Parl... |
The suggestion has also been made that Jack and Jill represent Louis XVI of France , who was deposed and beheaded in 1793 ( lost his crown ) , and his Queen , Marie Antoinette ( who came tumbling after ) , a theory made difficult by the fact that the earliest printing of the rhyme pre @-@ dates those events .
