MentalTraveller5;   E483|        For there the Babe is born in joy
MentalTraveller6;   E483|        That was begotten in dire woe

 
MentalTraveller7;   E484|        Just as we Reap in joy the fruit

MentalTraveller21; E484|        Till he becomes a bleeding youth
MentalTraveller22; E484|        And she becomes a Virgin bright

WilliamBond6;   E496|        Attended by Fairies one two & three

WilliamBond9;   E497|        He went not out to the Field nor Fold
WilliamBond10; E497|        He went not out to the Village nor Town
WilliamBond11; E497|        But he came home in a black black cloud
WilliamBond12; E497|        And took to his Bed & there lay down

 
WilliamBond13; E497|        And an Angel of Providence at his Feet
WilliamBond14; E497|        And an Angel of Providence at his Head

WilliamBond17; E497|        And on his Right hand was Mary Green
WilliamBond18; E497|        And on his Left hand was his Sister Jane
WilliamBond19; E497|        And their tears fell thro the black black Cloud
WilliamBond20; E497|        To drive away the sick mans pain

WilliamBond37; E497|        When Mary woke & found her Laid
WilliamBond38; E497|        On the Right hand of her William dear
WilliamBond39; E497|        On the Right hand of his loved Bed
WilliamBond40; E497|        And saw her William Bond so near

 
WilliamBond41; E497|        The Fairies that fled from William Bond
WilliamBond42; E497|        Danced around her Shining Head
WilliamBond43; E497|        They danced over the Pillow white
WilliamBond44; E497|        And the Angels of Providence left the Bed
WilliamBond45; E497|        I thought Love livd in the hot sun Shine
WilliamBond46; E497|        But O he lives in the Moony light

 
WilliamBond47; E498|        I thought to find Love in the heat of day
WilliamBond48; E498|        But sweet Love is the Comforter of Night

 
WilliamBond49; E498|        Seek Love in the Pity of others Woe
WilliamBond50; E498|        In the gentle relief of anothers care
WilliamBond51; E498|        In the darkness of night & the winters snow
