| Ballad Title | Strange and true News from Westmoreland. / Being a true Relation of one Gabriel Harding who coming home drunk, struck his Wife a blow / on the brest, and killed her out-right, and then denyed the same: Likewise how a Stran / ger did come to the House cloathed in green, the people that were eye=witnesses said it was / an Angel, and how the Stranger (or Angel) did give Sentence on the man for killing of his / Wife: Also how Satan did break the mans neck that did forswear himself, and the Stran= / ger or Angel did command Satan to hurt none else, and to vanish; which being done, there was a pleasant harmony of musick heard to sound; then did the stranger cloathed in green / take his leave of the people; whereof the chiefest in the Parish desired it might be put into / print, and have hereunto set their hands. |
