The following fragment was communicated in February, 1916, by Mr. Wallace C. Wadsworth from recitation, apparently in Indiana.
I. One eve the maids of Hazelton
Went out to sport and play,
But the bailiff's daughter of Hazelton
She slyly stole away.
2. There was a youth, a well-beloved youth,
The squire's only son,
And he fell in love with the bailiff's daughter,
And she lived in Hazelton.
