( 4 )

If you have no ſhots for me,
for that I do not care,
Except my ſiſter's company
now thou wilt forſwear;
And except thou wilt forſake
my ſiſter's company,
It's here I mean to ſlay thee
upon the mountains high.

Then Samuel ſtood amazed,
not knowing what to ſay;
At length he ſtept up to him,
and his arrows took away;
He took his arrows from him,
his bow he broke in three:
Barnwell, where's the ſhot
that you had got for me.

When Barnwell loſt his armour,
he cried out main,
It's for my ſiſter Sarah
here I muſt be ſlain;
It's for my ſiſter Sarah
here, I now muſt die;
My life is in the hands of Samuel,
upon the mountains high.
