Excerpt from Old Ballads, Vol. 4: Historical and Narrative, With Some of Modern Date, Now First Collected and Reprinted From Rare Copies and Mss, With Notes

The duty of a patient submission to the destinations of Providence in all vicissitudes and afflictions of life, are strongly inculcated in the following tale. The author has added a few notes to prove the actual existence of such a person as Richard Plantagenet, and the chief event of his life to have been incontestably certain.

"The work is done, the structure is complete -
"Long may this produce of my humble toil
"Un-injur'd stand, and echo long repeat,
"Round the dear walls, benevolence and Moyle!"
