'''Jack Be Nimble''' is an English language nursery rhyme.

The most common version of the rhyme is:
:Jack be nimble,
:Jack be quick,
:Jack jump over
:The candlestick.

Jumping candlesticks was a form of fortune telling and a sport. Good luck was said to be signalled by clearing a candle without extinguishing the flame.

The nursery rhyme first appeared in print in 1844. In the 1901 book ''Denslow’s Mother Goose'', illustrator William Wallace Denslow portrayed Jack as a dog.
