' When the red wine ye were fillin', That ye made the healths go round and rcund, And slighted Barbara Allen ?'

' Adieu, adieu, my dear friends all. And be kind to Barbara Allen !'
VIII
As she was walking o'er the fields. She heard the dead-bell knellin';
And every jow the dead-bell gave Cried ' Woe to Barbara Allen.'
IX
-' O mother, mother, make my bed,
O make it saft and narrow: My love has died for me to-day,
I'll die for him to-morrow.
x
' Farewell,' she said, ' ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in : Henceforth take warning by the fall Of cruel Barbara Allen.'
