| [00:27.19] |
Good people all with one accord, |
| [00:30.51] |
Lament for Mary Blaize, |
| [00:33.58] |
She never wanted one good word, |
| [00:36.87] |
From those who spoke her praise, |
| [00:40.24] |
The needy seldom passed her door, |
| [00:43.19] |
And always found her kind, |
| [00:46.25] |
She freely lent to all the poor, |
| [00:49.64] |
Who left a pledge behind. |
| [00:52.61] |
|
| [00:53.48] |
She strove the neighbour hood to please, |
| [00:56.81] |
With manners wondrous winning, |
| [01:00.07] |
She never followed wicked ways, |
| [01:03.36] |
Unless when she was sinning, |
| [01:06.40] |
At church in silks and satins new, |
| [01:09.49] |
With hoop of monstrous size, |
| [01:12.52] |
She never slumbered in her pew, |
| [01:16.02] |
But when she closed her eyes. |
| [01:19.44] |
|
| [01:24.07] |
Her love was sought I do declare, |
| [01:27.23] |
By twenty beaux and more, |
| [01:30.47] |
The King himself did seem to care, |
| [01:33.60] |
Where she had walked before, |
| [01:36.99] |
But wealth and finery all fled, |
| [01:40.03] |
And hangers-on all gone, |
| [01:43.16] |
The doctors found when she was dead, |
| [01:45.79] |
|
| [01:46.43] |
The life within her none. |
| [01:49.84] |
|
| [02:02.43] |
Good people all with one accord, |
| [02:05.63] |
Lament for Mary Blaize, |
| [02:08.82] |
Who never wanted one good word, |
| [02:12.04] |
From those who spoke her praise, |
| [02:15.28] |
The needy seldom passed her door, |
| [02:18.44] |
And always found her kind, |
| [02:21.59] |
She freely lent to all the poor |
| [02:24.77] |
Who left a pledge behind. |
| [02:27.43] |
|
| [02:27.96] |
Let us lament in sorrow sore, |
| [02:31.09] |
For Kent Street well may say, |
| [02:34.14] |
That had she lived a twelve month more, |
| [02:37.71] |
She had not died today. |
