Herefordshire.

HEREFORD.

A virtuous woman is 5s. 0d. [48] to her husband.

Here a lovely youth doth lie,
Which by accident did die;
His precious breath was forced to yield,
For by a waggon he was killed!

Alas! no more I could survive,
For I is dead and not alive;
And thou and time no longer shalt survive,
But be as dead as any man alive.
