Lament of Macfarlane, Blackwood and Young.
Glasgow : Sold wholesale at 203 Gallowgate,
[1853]
First ballads begins: Each feeling heart pray lend an ear / Unto this mournful tale, / It will draw a tear of sympathy, / I'm sure it cannot fail ; / It's of three wretched criminals, / In prison now we lie, / For the murder of Alexander Boyd / We are condemned to die.
Second ballad begins: Good people attend to our sad dismal tale, / And let our latter end be a warning to thee, / For base cruel murder we're doomed to suffer, / On the eleventh of August we must die on a tree.
Two ballads.
In two columns with a woodcut above the second.
