6 The water was so wide and deep,
 * such waters I ne'er saw many,

She leap'd her mare to the other side,
 * and left me not one penny.

Then my heart was sunk full
 * with griefs and cares around me,

After her I could not go,
 * for fear of being drowned

She turn'd about and said, behold
 * I'm not at your devotion

But sir l thank you for your gold,
 * it will help to enlarge my portion.

Then I began to stamp and stare,
 * to see what she had acted,

And with my hands I tore my hair,
 * like one that was distracted.

Give me my money back again,
 * good faith I did but lend it,

But she full fast away did ride,
 * and vow’d she ne’er intended.

PADDY WHACK.
