Jack manages to deflect Satan's messengers who attempt to trick him, and he is condemned to roam the world neither Heaven or Hell.

[2] In 1851, Hercules Ellis presumably wrote and published "The Romance of Jack-o'-Lantern," a romantic poem, in poetry anthology The Rhyme Book.

On a fateful night, Satan overheard the tale of Jack's evil deeds and silver tongue.

Finding no reason not to acquiesce the request, Satan took Jack to the local pub and supplied him with many alcoholic beverages.

Upon quenching his thirst, Jack asked Satan to pay the tab for the ale, much to his surprise because he didn't carry any money.

Ten years after the date Jack originally struck his deal, he naturally found himself once again in the devil's presence.

As Satan prepared to take him to Hell, Jack asked if he could have one apple to feed his starving belly.

Jack was told by God that because of his sinful lifestyle of deceitfulness and drinking, he was not allowed into Heaven.
