But Jumping Joan,
And father and mother and I.

And castels buylt above in lofty skies,
Which never yet had good foundation.

Suffiseth this to proove my theame withall,
That every bullet hath a lighting place.

Full many wanton babes have I,
Which must be stilld with lullabie.

Sing lullabie, as women do,
Wherewith they bring their babes to rest;
And lullabie can I sing to,
As womanly as can the best.
