We went and were married, most cordially we dwell,
Beside the bonny hawthorn that blooms in the vale.
That blooms, &c.


The Death of QUEEN JEAN.

QUEEN Jean was in labour for six weeks and more,
All the women were tired and quite gave her o'er
O women! O women! O women you be,
Pray send for my mother to come and see me

Her mother was sent for, and immediately came,
And she sat on the bedside along with Queen Jean
O mother! dear mother! my mother yon be,
Pray send for King Henry to come and see me.

King Henry he came, and the curtains drew by,
And said my dear Jeany, pray what would you say
King Henry! King Henry! King Henry you be,
Pray send for the doctor to come and see me.

The doctor was sent for and immediately came;
And he sat on the bedside along with Queen Jean
O doctor! O doctor! a doctor you be,
Pray open my right side, and save my two babes

He gave her a drink and she fell in a swoon,
He open'd her side and the babes they were found
