"that may have inspired the form, the lyrics bear little relationship. It was suggested by James Orchard Halliwell that the reference to the ""priest all shaven and shorn"" indicates that the English version is probably very old, presumably as far back as the mid-sixteenth century. There is a possible reference to the song in ""The Boston New Letter"" of 12 April 1739 and the line: ""This is the man all forlorn, &c"". However, it did not appear in print until it was included in ""Nurse Truelove's New-Year's-Gift, or the Book of Books for Children"", printed in London in 1755. It"

"Jack (hero) Jack is an archetypal Cornish and English hero and stock character appearing in legends, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes, generally portrayed as a young adult.

The poem refers to the confinement between 1945 and 1958 of Ezra Pound in St Elizabeths Hospital, Washington, D.C. The nursery rhyme style gives an unusual effect to the strange or unsettling descriptions of a psychiatric hospital in the poem. Likewise the poem treats Pound ambivalently describing him by turns as ""honored"", ""brave"", ""cruel"", and ""wretched"" among other things. The poem draws on Bishop's visits to Pound during the year she spent in"
