Poetry in 19th century newspapers (3)

From the Belfast Newsletter January 31, 1834

Remember Oh! Remember.

[By] Sarah. Belfast

Verse 3

Remenber, oh! Remember,
Till you shall sink in death
How first you sought my mother's home
With falsehood on your breath------
With the promises you made to me,
Your hands upraised to heaven,
And I will pray at mercy's throne
That thou may'st be forgiven.
