Tunes on this frame: Farewell and Adieu to you Spanish Ladies, 'Tis of a brisk young lady, Mary Neale.
There is no tune here named Mary And William. Why anyone took it upon themselves to rename 'Tis of a brisk young lady' is a mystery.

[above title, on right:] D784 Russell
[title:] Its of a brisk young lady.
[on verso leaf:] cp. "In London lived a lady" D V. p.72.

Its of a brisk young lady so beautiful & gay
And she had sweethearts plenty court her night & day
She had not long been courted before with child she proved
She lived so discontented, she told it to her love

[there is then an arrow to the left (verso) leaf, where we find:]
Oh William, dearest William I am with child by thee
Oh will you see me right again or will you marry me

[there is then an arrow pointing to the right (recto) leaf, and:]
Oh! Mary dearest Mary since you're a run such risk
I cant no more admire your sweet and handsome face

Then up & down she wandered, trying to hide her shame
Till at last herself she drownded for the sake of sweet Wm.

Come all you constant lovers that have a mind to love
Oh be you constant & true then & sure that you love for love

It's of a brisk young lady so beautiful and gay,
And she had sweethearts plenty court her night and day,
She had not long been courted before with child she proved,
She lived so discontented, she told it to her love.

Oh! Mary, dearest Mary, since you've a-run such risk,
I can't no more admire your sweet and handsome face,

Then up and down she wendered, trying to hide her shame,
Till at last herself she drownded for the sake of sweet William.

Come all you constant lovers that have a mind to love,
Oh! be you constant and true then and sure that you love for love.

[there is no indication of why Purslow chose to rename the song "Mary and William", and incomprehensible why he amended it to "Molly and William"]
