That belanged to great Rowley.
That Rowley was the first man that did them spy,
With that he rais’d a mighty cry,
The cry it came down Rookhope-burn,
And spread through Weardale hasteyly.
Then word came to the bailiff’s house
At the East-gate, where he did dwell,
He had walk’d out to the Smale-burns,
Which stands above the Hanging-well.
His wife was wae when she hear’d tell,
