The miracle 's a fact, Translated into passing show. THE BALLAD OF WILLIAM AND MARY, It was the fair Maiy, I ween, A-lying in her bower, And she was wan for many a clay And sad for many an hour. Young William long had left her love For far-off lands to sail, And whether he was dead or gone She waxed large and pale. The child it thumpdd in her womb The child it grew so strong, " O William dear, O William dear, " The days are drear and long. " " What ails you. Mar)' ? tell nic true, " O tell me n...e'er a lie, i8 THE BALLAD OF WILLIAM AND MARY. " Some man hath broke your maidenhead. " " O mother, let me die. " " What makes you pale, my daughter dear ? " And who hath done you hurt ? " I'll smite him with my heavy sword " And make him kiss the dirt. " I'll hew him into pieces small " And cut his heart in twain ! " " O father dear, I'm strong and hale, " I'd run along the lafte. " Along the lane fair Mary ran, And when she reached the shore, The child it thumpdd in her womb Till she was passing sore.
