    IV
    When young Edward found out her habitation,
    It was well secured with an iron door,
    He vowed and swore against all the nation,
    He'd gain her freedom or rest no more,
    It was at his leisure he toiled with pleasure
    For to release his Mary Ann.
    He gained his object and found his treasure
    It was then she called him
    Her faithful young servant man,
    V
    When her father brought bread and water,
    To call his daughter he thus began.
    Said young Edward, "Enter, I have freed your daughter
    And I will suffer your servant man."
    When her father found him so tender,
    It was down he fell in the dungeon floor,
    Saying, "True lovers shall ne'er be parted,
    Since love can force in an iron door,"
