To the lady’s bedchamber, in rage and anger,
Bent on destruction, with intent to kill,
He did illtreat her, with a poker beat her,
And her crimson blood on the floor did spill.
Oh, God, in mercy guide evil passions,
Thou seest all things from heaven above,
Three innocent lives has been sacrificed,
And one serious injured, all through true love,
If they’d not been parted, made broken-hearted,
Those in the grave would be living now,
