Argh! I just noticed, the text I have just posted is virtually the same as the first one posted by Q above, although it comes from a different source.

With, perhaps some small differences: I notice Q has, in verse 2, "bound himself" which makes more sense than "bound them safe" which I copied (correctly, as it happens) from the broadside.

So if someone wants to sing this song, I recommend you compare the two copies carefully.
