   IV Sore with grief and mourning Through Fanat now bewail The father tears his hairy locks The mother now bewails The sister and the brother cries Alas! we are undone While the sweet-hears now do mourn the boys Their tender hearts did won. V Now to conclude and finish And end this doleful tale I hope the blessed Saviour will have Mercy on their souls. My eyes begin to fill with tears I must lay down my pen. So the Lord have mercy on their souls All Christians say Amen
