The Downfall of William Grismond
The Downfall of William Grismond is an English broadside ballad from the 17th century, also known as William Grismond's Downfall. William Grismond, the narrator, sings the song as a warning to other men. He lied to a woman in order to satisfy his lust, and then killed her when she became pregnant. For this, he must die, and he warns other men not to do the same as him. Sung to the tune of Where is My Love? Copies of the ballad can be found in the National Library of Scotland, the British Library, and the University of Glasgow Library. On-line facsimile transcriptions are also available for public consumption.
