    Notes The first part of this ballad, item 71, is found at EBBA 37114, "The first part of the faire widow of Watling street & her 3 daughters, & how her wicked sonne / accused her to be a harlot, & his sisters bastards, only to deceiue them of their portions", though it is unclear if these two items were printed together and then cut apart.

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