%%This is a particularly difficult MS to read, and the editors' 
%%interpretation may be at fault. The identification of the tune
%%comes from the words written below the score, which are very 
%%close to those of the last verse of "The Little Lowland Maid", 
%%to be found as CC/1/220 in the Clive Carey collection at the VWML:
%%endtext
W: They both did stand their trial, and were condemned and cast
W: And on the fatal gallows tree Oh they were hung at last
W: With thousands flocking round them, who unto them did say
W: "Begone, you cruel monster and your little lowland maid."
