From the Merry Book of Riddles - 1975

Shortly after the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century, some of the first books ever printed for popular entertainment went collections of riddles. One of these, titled The Merry Book of Riddles, was published in 1575. Here is a riddle from that work:

He went to the wood and caught it,
he sate him downe and sought it;
Because he could not finde it,
Home with him he brought it.
