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:
