Whatever his command might be	K2

VAGRANT	B
	-
The son came back he found us wed	U2
Then dreadful was the oath he swore	N2
His way through Blackburn Forest led	U2
His father we beheld no more	N2
	-
Of all our daring clan not one	V2
Would on the doubtful subject dwell	W2
For all esteem'd the injured son	V2
And fear'd the tale which he could tell	W2
	-
But I had mightier cause for fear	O
For slow and mournful round my bed	U2
I saw a dreadful form appear	O
It came when I and Aaron wed	U2

Yes we were wed I know my crime	X2
We slept beneath the elmin tree	K2
But I was grieving all the time	X2
And Aaron frown'd my tears to see	K2

With such surprise and horror fraught	Z2
That reason felt a moment's flight	Y2
And left a mind to madness wrought	Z2

When waking on my heaving breast	K
I felt a hand as cold as death	A3
A sudden fear my voice suppress'd	K
A chilling terror stopp'd my breath	A3
	-
I seem'd no words can utter how	B3
For there my father husband stood	C3
And thus he said 'Will God allow	B3
The great Avenger just and Good	C3
A wife to break her marriage vow	B3
A son to shed his father's blood '	-
	-
I trembled at the dismal sounds	D3
But vainly strove a word to say	M2
So pointing to his bleeding wounds	E3
The threat'ning spectre stalk'd away	M2
	-
I brought a lovely daughter forth	F3
His father's child in Aaron's bed	U2
He took her from me in his wrath	G3
'Where is my child ' 'Thy child is dead '	-
	-
'Twas false we wander'd far and wide	E2
Through town and country field and fen	S2
Till Aaron fighting fell and died	E2
And I became a wife again	S2
	-
I then was young my husband sold	J
My fancied charms for wicked price	H3
He gave me oft for sinful gold	J
The slave but not the friend of vice	H3
Behold me Heaven my pains behold	J
And let them for my sins suffice	H3
	-
The wretch who lent me thus for gain	Q2
Despised me when my youth was fled	U2
Then came disease and brought me pain	Q2
Come Death and bear me to the dead	U2
For though I grieve my grief is vain	Q2
And fruitless all the tears I shed	U2
	-
True I was not to virtue train'd	I3
Yet well I knew my deeds were ill	J3
By each offence my heart was pain'd	I3
I wept but I offended still	J3
My better thoughts my life disdain'd	I3
But yet the viler led my will	J3
	-
My husband died and now no more	N2
My smile was sought or ask'd my hand	C
A widow'd vagrant vile and poor	K3
Beneath a vagrant's vile command	C
	-
Ceaseless I roved the country round	L3
To win my bread by fraudful arts	M3
And long a poor subsistence found	L3
By spreading nets for simple hearts	M3
	-
Though poor and abject and despised	N3
Their fortunes to the crowd I told	J
I gave the young the love they prized	N3
And promised wealth to bless the old	J
Schemes for the doubtful I devised	N3
And charms for the forsaken sold	J
	-
At length for arts like these confined	N
In prison with a lawless crew	T
I soon perceived a kindred mind	N
And there my long lost daughter knew	T
	-
His father's child whom Aaron gave	O3
To wander with a distant clan	P3
The miseries of the world to brave	O3
And be the slave of vice and man	P3
	-
She knew my name we met in pain	Q2
Our parting pangs can I express	Q3
She sail'd a convict o'er the main	Q2
And left an heir to her distress	Q3
	-
This is that heir to shame and pain	Q2
For whom I only could descry	T
A world of trouble and disdain	Q2
Yet could I bear to see her die	A
Or stretch her feeble hands in vain	Q2
And weeping beg of me supply	A
	-
No though the fate thy mother knew	T
Was shameful shameful thou	B3
