MUKDKK OF
MARIA MARTEN,
BY WILLIAM COBBLE
K. Hodges, Pi inter, Wholesale Toy and Marble V\ arehouse, 26, Grafton Street, Soho Where may he obtained all the old & new Son^s ol'the day, Childrens Boohs, he
f'JOME all yon thoughtless young uien a warning lake by me
And think on my unhappy fate, to be hang’d upon a tree.
My name is William Corder to you I do declare,
1 courted Maria Marten most beautiful and fair.
I promised I would marry her, upon a certain day, Instead of that I was resolved to take htr life away,
1 went into her father’s house the 18th day of May,
O, come my dear Maria we’ll fix the wedding day !
If you’ll meet me at the red barn a, ture »s I have life I'll take you to Ipswich town, & there make you my wifi-,	(and my spade,
I straight went home & fetch’d my gun, my pickaxe, | I went nto the red barn and th> re I dug her grave ,
With heart so light she thought no harm to meet him she did go,
Pe murder’d her all in the barn & laid her b"dv low The horrid deed that he had doné she lay bleeding in her gore,
Her bleeding mangled body he threw under the red barn floor.
Now all things br ing silent she could not t ke no rest She appear'd in her mo'her’s house, who suckled her j at her breast ;
For many a long month or mar# hrr mind being
sorely op: rrss’d,
Neither night nor day she could not take no rest. t H er mother’s mind being so distui bed, she dreamed three nights o’er,
Her daughter she lay murder’d under the red barn floor She sent her father to the barn when Under the ground he thrust,
And there found his daughter mingling with the dust
My trial bard I could not stand most woeful was the
sight,	• i
When her jaw bone was brought to prove, whieb pierced my heart quite ;
nii aged mother standing by likewise his loving wife And with her grief, her hair she tore, she scarcely could kt ep life,
Adieu, adieu my loving fiiends my glass isalmostruo Ain Monday next will be my L.st whe I’m tobehangd AH young men as you pass by wbh pity look on me, For the munler of María Martes 1 was hanged apon a tree.

’Ti* of a rich merchant who in London dwell,	(nice young

with a very large fortune in silver & g To lal ral lai, &
As Dinah was valiking the garden one Her papa he came to her, and thus he say,
Go dress thyself Dinah, in gorgeous ar And take yourself a husiband both gall and gay.
Oh, papa, Oh, papa. I’ve not made up mind,	(inclin
And to marry just yet, why l don’t To you my large fortune l’U gladly : o’er,	(m
if you’ll let me live single a year or Go go boldest daughter the parent repli If you won’t consent to be this here you man’s bride,	(o(
I’ll give your large fortune to the near Ann you sha’n’t reap the benefit of single pin.
As Vilikins vas valking the garden arou e espied his dear Dinah laying dead on the ground.	[si
