The Death of Queen Jane

Queen Jane lay in labour full six days or more,
 Till the women grew weary and the midwives gave o'er.
 They sent for King Henry to come with great speed
 To be with Queen Jane in her hour of need
 King Henry came to her and sat by her bedside
 Saying "What ails thee my Jeannie? What ails thee my bride?"
 "O Henry O Henry do this one thing for me
 Rip open my right side and find my baby"
 "O Jeannie, O Jeannie that never will do
 It would lease thy sweet life and thy young baby too"
 She wept and she wailed and she fell into a swoon
 They opened her right side and her baby was found
 Well the baby was christened the very next day
 While his poor dead mother a mouldering lay
 Six men went before her and four more travelled on
 While loyal King Henry stood mourning alone
 He wept and he wailed until he was sore
 Saying "The flower of all England will flourish no more"
 He sat by the river with his head in his hands
 Saying "My merry England's a sorrowful land"
