No relation, but the late Victorian "She is More to be Pitied than Censured" by Willia B. Gray, words in the DT, came to mind.
In it, "a girl who had fallen to shame" because "....a man was the cause of it all." Youtube has the Beatrice Kay rendition (with correct words) and the Stanley Bros. version which is a hash, but with good 'pickin'.
