"Fair Margaret and Sweet William" (Child 74, Roud (253 )) is a traditional English ballad which tells of two lovers, of whom either one or both die from heartbreak.〔 Thomas Percy included it in his folio and said that it was quoted as early as 1611 in the ''Knight of the Burning Pestle''.〔Lesley Nelson-Burns, ("Fair Margaret and Sweet William: Version 2" )〕 In the United States, variations of Fair Margaret have been regarded as folk song as early as 1823. ==Synopsis==
Fair Margaret espies the marriage procession of her lover Sweet William and another woman from her high chamber window. Depending on the variation, Margaret either commits suicide or dies of a broken heart. Her ghost then appears before Sweet William to ask him if he loves his new bride more than herself, and William replies he loves Margaret better. In the morning, William commences to search for Margaret. Upon arriving at her estate, Margaret's family shows William the corpse. In some versions, Sweet William dies of heartbreak as well, and they are buried beside each other.
