Jack o' the lantern! Stingy, cunning Jack,
Who tricked the devil, and whacked him on his back,

Who with a golden cross, trapped this very devil,
And layed the battered cross, on the tree to settle.

The devil's own features, were twisted in fury,
And grumbling, he listened, to Jack as the jury.

Jack cackled and chortled, and smirked and grinned,
And jeered and mocked, and scorned and preened.

"A very naughty boy!" admonished the devil,
As he looked on at Jack, bursting to test...
