But hunger it came creeping on; poor girl, she cried with woe.
And for to find his murderers she straightway home did. co.,
Saying. “Parents, dear, you soon shall hear of a shocking deed that’s done
In yonder vale lien dead and pale my constant farmer’s son.

Then un bespoke her eldest brother, saying. “In- deed. It was not me.”
The same repiled her youngest brother and cursed most bitterly.
“Brothers,” she said, “don’t turn so red or try the law to shun;
You did the deed and sore you will bleed for my constant farmer’s son.”

These villains then did own their guilt and for the same dld die:
Young Mary fair in deep despair she never ceased to cry:
Her parents both they vanished away. for their span of life was run;
Young Mary cried and of sorrow she died for her constant farmer’s son.
