A warning for all desperate VVomen By the example of Alice Dauis who for killing of her husband was burned in Smithfield the 12 of Iuly 1628. to the terror of all the beholders To the tune of the Ladies fall VNto the world to make my moane I know it is a folly Because that I haue spent my time which haue béene free and iolly But to the Lord which rules aboue I doe for mercy crie To grant me pardon for the crime for which on earth I dye Hells fiery flames prepared are for these that liue in sinne And now on earth I tast of some but as a pricke or pin To those which shall hereafter be without Gods mercy great Who once more calls vs to account on his Tribunall Seate Then hasty hairebraind wines take héed of me a warning take Least like to me in coole of blood you burn't be at a stake The woman which héere last did dye and was consum'd with fire Puts me in minde but all to late for death I doe require But to the story now I come which to you I le relate Because that I haue liu●d like some in good repute and state In Westminster we liued there well knowne by many friends Which little thought that each of vs should haue come to such ends A Smith my husband was by trade as many well doe know And diuers merry dayes we had not féeling cause of woe Abroad together we had bin and home at length we came But then I did that fatall déede which brings me to this shame He askt what monies I had left and some he néedes would haue But I a penny would not giue though he did séeme to craue But words betwixt vs then did passe as words to harsh I gaue And as the Diuell would as then I did both sweare and raue The second Part To the same tune ANd then I tooke a little knife and stab'd him in the heart Whose Soule from Body instantly my bloody hand did part But cursed hand and fatall knife and wicked was that houre When as my God did giue me ore vnto his hellish power The déede no sooner I had don But out of doores I ran And to the neighbours I did cry I kil'd had my goodman Who straight-way flockt vnto my house to sée that bloody sight Which when they did behold with griefe it did them much affright Then hands vpon me there was l●y'd And I to Prison sent Where as I lay perplext in woe and did that déede repent When Sizes came I was arraign'd by Iury iust and true I was found guilty of the fact for which I haue my due The Iury hauing cast me then to iudgment then I came Which was a terrour to my heart and to my friends a shame To thinke vpon my husbands death and of my wretched life Betwixt my Spirit and my flesh did cause a cruell strife But then the Iudge me sentence gaue to goe from whence I came From thence vnto a stake be bound to burne in fiers fl●me Vntill my flesh and bones consum'd to ashes in that place Which was a heauie sentence then to on so uoyd of grace And on the twelfth of Iuly now I on a sledge was laid To Smithfield with a guard of men I streight way was conueyd Where I was tyed to a stake with Reedes was round beset And Fagtos Pitch and other things which they for me did get Now great Iehouah I thee pray my bloudy sinnes forgiue For on this earth most wretched I vnworthy am to liue Christ Iesus vnto thee I pray and vnto t●ee I cry Thou with thy blood wilt wash my sinnes away which heere must dye Good wiues and bad example take at this my cursed fall And Maidens that shall husbands haue I warning am to all Your Husbands are your Lords heads you ought them to obey Grant loue betwixt each man and wife vnto the Lord I pray God and the world forgiue my sinnes which are so 〈◊〉 and foule Sweete Iesus now I come to thée O Lord receiue my Soule Then to the Réedes they fire did put which flamd vp to the skye And then she shriek'd most pittifully before that she did dye The Lord preserue our King Queene and all good Subiects blesse And Grant the Gospe●l true and free amongst vs may encrease Betwixt each husband and each wife send loue and amitie And grant that I may be the last that such a death did dye ●INIS Printed for F.
