The House That Jack Built

This nursery rhyme was in one of my children's books growing up. I ran across it the other day in class, we were studying a nineteenth-century children's primer. The primer didn't have it in it but alluded to it. I had no idea that it was so old and wikipedia search shows that it was first published in 1755!! It is a cumulative tale style of nursery rhyme, so like The 12 Days of Christmas, it builds upon it each verse. I'm just putting the final verse here:

This is the horse and the hound and the horn
That belonged to the farmer sowing his corn
That kept the cock that crowed in the morn
That wole the priest all shaven and shorn
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn
That tossed the dog that worried the cat
That killed the rat that ate the cheese
That lay in the house that Jack built.
