Lighter the Harding B 14 (92) broadside is available online here http://ballads.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/view/edition/14620 The printer is "T. Watts, Printer, 14 Snow Hill, Birmingham." So the same printer as the above europeana.eu text. In the above post I said that the europeana.eu broadside has an extra verse. This is incorrect. The broadside of Harding B 14 (92) you posted above omits the text of the stanza "As I was passing through the hall, I met the fair maid quite contented...". This stanza *is* present in Harding B 14 (92). So Harding B 14 (92) matches the europeana.eu broadside with the exact same 11 verses. Also note Harding B 14 (92) is a later printing as it missing "l" in "lie" on line 15. The "l" in "lie" is present (but damaged and mislocated) in the broadside I typed out above. See the earlier printing here: https://proxy.europeana.eu/media/2059213/data_sounds_7665/6756fc8bc3b220019ebd54113658455e?disposition=inline
