Detailed explanation-1: -Jack will eat not fat, and Jull doth love no leane. Yet betwixt them both they lick the dishes cleane. In the period between the 16th and 17th centuries, this rhyme was popular as an English proverb. The moral of this saying is it is better to go supperless than to rise in debt.
Detailed explanation-2: -DESCRIPTION: “Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean, And so between the two of them They licked the platter clean.” NOTES [193 words]: This is probably only a nursery *rhyme*, and not a nursery *song*, and so properly does not belong in the Index.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. And so betwixt them both, you see, they licked the platter clean.
Detailed explanation-4: -If the first pig went to the market to get slaughtered, then the “little piggy staying home” refers to a pig not yet ready to eat, and that must stay home to mature. The “little piggy having roast beef” is about fattening a pig up, while the fourth “piggy that gets none” is too small to go to the market.
