taught it to me, and also the following:
There was man of Adams race
Who had certain dwelling place.
It was neither in heaven, nor yet in hell,
Nor yet on earth where mortals dwell.
He had house well covered DER,
Where no man dwelt since nor before;
There was neither brick or lime in any part;
Neither was it made by human art.
Now if you know this man Of fame
Come tell me this riddle and his name.
Answer: Jonah in the whales belly.
