And with the same took her life away.

When from my labour I did return,

To do her harm my heart did burn,

I took the gun right speedily,

But little thinking she was to die.

Though fellow-servants I did not her like,

That was the reason I took her life,

That was the reason I did her kill,

Maidens never marry against their will.

My bosom heaves and borne down with woe,
