A ballad Written about the time of his execution in the year	A
	-
Come listen to my mournful tale	B
Ye tender hearts and lovers dear	A
Nor will you scorn to heave a sigh	C
Nor need you blush to shed a tear	D
	-
And thou dear Kitty peerless maid	E
Do thou a pensive ear incline	F
For thou canst weep at every woe	G
And pity every plaint but mine	F
	-
Young Dawson was a gallant boy	H
A brighter never trod the plain	I
And well he loved one charming maid	E
And dearly was he loved again	J
	-
One tender maid she loved him dear	A
Of gentle blood the damsel came	K
And faultless was her beauteous form	L
And spotless was her virgin fame	K
	-
But curse on party's hateful strife	M
That led the favour'd youth astray	N
The day the rebel clans appear'd	O
O had he never seen that day	N
	-
Their colours and their sash he wore	P
And in the fatal dress was found	Q
And now he must that death endure	R
Which gives the brave the keenest wound	Q
	-
How pale was then his true love's cheek	S
When Jemmy's sentence reach'd her ear	T
For never yet did Alpine snows	U
So pale or yet so chill appear	A
	-
With faltering voice she weeping said	V
'O Dawson monarch of my heart	W
Think not thy death shall end our loves	X
For thou and I will never part	W
	-
'Yet might sweet mercy find a place	Y
And bring relief to Jemmy's woes	U
O George without a prayer for thee	Z
My orisons should never close	A2
	-
'The gracious prince that gave him life	M
Would crown a never dying flame	K
And every tender babe I bore	P
Should learn to lisp the giver's name	K
	-
'But though he should be dragg'd in scorn	B2
To yonder ignominious tree	Z
He shall not want one constant friend	C2
To share the cruel Fates' decree '	-
	-
Oh then her mourning coach was call'd	D2
The sledge moved slowly on before	P
Though borne in a triumphal car	E2
She had not loved her favourite more	P
	-
She follow'd him prepared to view	F2
The terrible behests of law	G2
And the last scene of Jemmy's woes	U
With calm and steadfast eye she saw	G2
	-
Distorted was that blooming face	Y
Which she had fondly loved so long	H2
And stifled was that tuneful breath	I2
Which in her praise had sweetly sung	J2
	-
And sever'd was that beauteous neck	K2
Round which her arms had fondly closed	L2
And mangled was that beauteous breast	M2
On which her lovesick head reposed	M2
	-
And ravish'd was that constant heart	M2
She did to every heart prefer	N2
For though it could its king forget	M2
'Twas true and loyal still to her	N2
	-
Amid those unrelenting flames	O2
She bore this constant heart to see	Z
But when 'twas moulder'd into dust	M2
'Yet yet ' she cried 'I follow thee	Z
	-
'My death my death alone can show	G
The pure the lasting love I bore	P
Accept O Heaven of woes like ours	P2
And let us let us weep no more '	-
	-
The dismal scene was o'er and past	M2
The lover's mournful hearse retired	M2
The maid drew back her languid head	M2
And sighing forth his name expired	M2
	-
Though justice ever must prevail	B
The tear my Kitty sheds is due	M2
For seldom shall she hear a tale	B
So sad so tender yet so true	M2
