1B4 Folklore from the Southern Sporades.
Bring rubble-stones and mortar bring, to cover up the lady." " O Master-workman, stay awhile, a dirge that I may sing me. We were three sisters, and all three a cruel doom awaited. One at the founding of the bath, one at the bridge was buried, And I the last, unhappy I, beneath the deep Kamara." " Bring rubble-stones and mortar bring, to cover up the lady." " As I now tremble every limb, so may the whole world tremble : As now the hairs upon my head, so tremble the Kamara : And as my tears are falling fast, so may the stone-work tumble." ^
