Sir Neil, and Glengyle (1825)

“ UNFORTUNATE MISS BAILEY.
A Captain, bold, in Halifax, that dwelt in country quarters,
Seduced a maid who hang'd herself one morning, in her garters;
His wicked conscience smited him; he lost his stomach daily;
He took to dringing ratifa, and thought upon Miss Bailey.

Sir Neil, and Glengyle (1825)

“ I‘ll mourn till life is over.
And brave Sir Neil how art thou fall‘n,
and wither‘d in thy blossom!
No more I‘ll love the treacherous man,
that pierc‘d my hero's bosom.
A kind and tender heart was thine,
thy friendship was abused,
A braver man ne'er fac‘d a foe,
had thou been fairly used.
For thee a maid I'll live and die,
Glengyle shall ne‘er epouse me,
And for the space of seven long years
the dowy black shall clothe me.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
