What was jack's crown in Jack and Jill?

Answer 1

It meant the top of his skull, which was or is called a crown.

I don't agree, I think in this case his crown meant his virginity, let me explain:

You don'y go up the hill to get water, in this case water means life,sex. up the hill means their desire for sex pushed them up high, Jack fell down, means he had intercourse. Broke his crown, means lost his virginity. his virginity was his crown. Jill came tumbling after, means she also fell , she had intercourse, and lost her virginity.

Up jack got and home did trot as fast as he could caper. means after having sex, he got up and ran home, he was afraid for what he had done, he was not physicaly hurt,

To old dame dod, who pached his nod with vinegar & brown paper.

Vinegar in the old days was the cure for all ailments, brown paper was used to put across the window to cut off the light of day in the bedroom, so one could rest.Old Dame Dod his mother, because of her age & experience had everything required to

to comfort Jack, Jack was tormented for what he had done, Jack ran all the way home he needed rest, The brown paper in the bedroom window.

When Jill came home she was severly repremanded for having sex with Jack.
