 When he found that his dying hour was come,

He sent for her father, and told what was done.

Then in a sad sort he yielded up his breath.

Her father said, I'm the unhappiest man on earth.

Then he sought for the body of his daughter dear

Who in sumptuous manner was bury’d we hear.

Within a little time her father did die,

Now let each take a warning by this tragedy;

And maidens beware of men's flattering tongue

For if you consent you are surely undone.
