They told him he’d a murder done,

He the truth confess’d without delay.

They dug and found the body there,

’Twas but this month that it was known.

Before a magistrate he went,

And now in prison lies forlorn.

Till he his punishment receives,

No doubt but he will have his due;

Young men by this a warning take,

Perform your vows whate’er ye do.
