The husband OF her heart reyip'd
Til happiness she long had lost

Aud burning Tor revenge he rose,
And laid hr coward villain low,
And struck dismay to virtues foes,
header if honor's generous blood,
Fer warm d thy breast, here drop tear
And let the sympathetic flood
Deep IN thy mind its traces bear.
A Father, or Il Mother thou,
Thy daughter view in gricts despair
Then turn and sre the villain low,
And here let fall the grateful tear.

Dishonord, see thy Sister dear
Then turn and see the villain low,
And here lei fall the grateful tear.

For thy revenge the husband here,
Laid down in youth his life and fame.
