Jack Spratt could eat no fat,

His wife could eat no lean,

And so between them both

They licked the platter clean.

Sprattus horrescens adipem recusat,

Uxor et non vult tolerare macrum:

Conjuges digni! potuêre sic de-

tergere lancem.

Σπράττος ὠμηστὴς στέαρ ἐξέλειπεν‧

Ἡ γυνὴ σφοδρῶς ἀπέφευγεν ἰσχνόν‧

Εὔγαμοι, δείπνῳ ταχέως ἕκαστος

Πάντ’ ἀπολείχει.
