Title: Fair Margaret's misfortunes; or, Sweet William's dream on his wedding night, with the sudden death and burial of those noble lovers

First stanza: As it fell out upon a day
Two lovers they set on a hill;
They set together a long summer's day
And could not take their fill.

It has "set" instead of "sat". I'm not sure what broadside Child used.
