( 8 ) This thing was blaz'd the country round, and thouſands went the ſame to ſee, This miracle from Heaven ſhown; be amongſt the reſt muſt curious be, To go and ſee if this was true, and when unto the place he came, The beauteous Roſe he ſaw in bloom, and eagerly he cropt the fame: The leaves did fall from off the buſh, the Roſe within his hand did die; He cry'd, 'lis fair Roſanna's blood, that did ſpring from her fair body. Many people that were there, took notice of what he did ſay, They told he had ſome murder done, he the truth confeſs'd without delay. They dug, and found the body there, the firſt of April it was known Before a Magiſtrate he was brought, 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'r: you do, For God does find out many ways, ſuch heinous fins to bring to light, For murder is a crying fin; and hateful in bis bleſſed fight. GLASGOW, Printed by J. & M. Robertſon, Saltmarket, 1802.
