Notes The second part of this ballad, item 72, is found at EBBA 37115, "The second part of the Widdow of Watling-streete, and her three Daughters", although it is unclear if these two items were printed together and then cut apart.

In the Huth album, this item (71) and the second part (72) are separated by item (73), EBBA 37116, "An Excellent Ballad, intituled, The Constancy of / Susanna."
