W:My parents tried to clear me but nothing would prevail.<br>
 
W:'Twas at our Rutland sessions the Judge to me did say:<br>
 
W:The Jury's found you guilty, you must go to Botany Bay.<br>
 
W:<br>
 
W:4 To see my poor old father as he stood at the bar;<br>
 
W:Likewise my dear old mother her old gray locks she tore.<br>
 
W:And in tearing of her old gray locks these words to me she did say:<br>
 
W:O son! O son! what hast thou done? Thou art bound for Botany Bay.<br>
