Published by G. Stevens, 10 Borough Road, Southwark. Verse 16 Verse 16 THE MAID AND THE MAGPIE. 1 At Palaiseau, there liv’d a maid, In form and features mild; The stings of conscience never prey’d, On this devoted child. 2 She serv’d a wealthy farmer there, An honest soul was he; Her comforts were his only care, And all he wish’d to see.
