    Went up the hill,
    To fetch a pail of water;

    And broke his crown,
    And Jill came tumbling after.”

    “That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;”
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)
