<L>OH horred, borred is my Crime,</L>
<L>For which I now mu&s;t dye</L>
<L>And to relate the bloody time,</L>
<L>Of this barbarity,</L>
<L>Would make a Heart of Stone to bleed,</L>
<L>To think upon the Fact,</L>
<L>I am a&s;ham'd to name indeed</L>
<L>This bloody, bloody Act.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Twas at <HI>Stone-Bridge</HI> not far from Town</L>
<L>Where I did lye in wait,</L>
<L>To rob the very fir&s;t that come,</L>
<L>But oh unhappy fate,</L>
<L>In&s;tead of Robbing him of Pelf,</L>
<L>With Pi&s;tol &s;hot him dead,</L>
<L>And likewi&s;e bound his Wife my &s;elf,</L>
<L>Then &s;traight from Ju&s;tice fled.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This wicked deed which I have done</L>
<L>I do repent too late;</L>
<L>My Gla&s;s of Life is almo&s;t run,</L>
<L>Oh mo&s;t unhappy Fate:</L>
<L>I mu&s;t be now this very day</L>
<L>A &s;ad Example made,</L>
<L>I having wrought my Life's decay,</L>
<L>Farewell this bloody Trade.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh <HI>Leavens, Leavens</HI> whom I &s;hot,</L>
<L>And never bid you &s;tand,</L>
<L>I mu&s;t confe&s;s hard was your Lott,</L>
<L>Through my mo&s;t bloody hand,</L>
<L>I kill'd you dead without one word,</L>
<L>So wicked was my mind,</L>
<L>And God requires blood for blood,</L>
<L>The Law's the &s;ame I find:</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>How bitter is the thoughts of Death,</L>
<L>Which &s;tares with bloody Dart</L>
<L>And gapeth for my late&s;t breath,</L>
<L>When Soul and Body part,</L>
<L>But oh a greater grief then this</L>
<L>Is Con&s;cience does me tell,</L>
<L>That blood hinders my Soul of bli&s;s,</L>
<L>No hopes for me but Hell.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh VVomen, VVomen ba&s;e and rude</L>
<L>'Twas your bad Company,</L>
<L>I follow'd none but what were lew'd</L>
<L>And to them did comply,</L>
<L>For when they did at any time</L>
<L>VVant Money for to rant,</L>
<L>I &s;tuck not then at any crime,</L>
<L>For to &s;upply their want.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Pray you that &s;ee my fatal race,</L>
<L>Let all your VVays be good,</L>
<L>Nere be concern'd with VVomen ba&s;e</L>
<L>Nor yet delight in blood,</L>
<L>For here a &s;hameful Death you &s;ee</L>
<L>I ju&s;tly undergo,</L>
<L>Then pray young Men be warn'd by me</L>
<L>Be no Mans overthrow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The latter Minute is at hand,</L>
<L>Farewell the VVorld, and all</L>
<L>Of you that now &s;pectators &s;tand,</L>
<L>VVith Prayers <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 word">, and call</L>
<L>On Je&s;us Chri&s;t the Lamb of God,</L>
<L>To interceed for me,</L>
<L>That I may be cleans'd from this blood</L>
<L>I &s;hed &s;o cruelly.</L>
