King. MY Dearest, to Ireland with speed I must go, To Conquer Great Britains implacable Foe; Then rest you contented, till I Sail the Main, And crowned with triumph I'll see you again, Of Papists and Rebels, to Conquer a crew, I quickly must go now, and bid you adieu. Queen. How can you, in sorrow, thus leave me behind, Depriv'd of your Company, troubled in mind? Then pray be contented, and stay still with Me, To shun all the Dangers of Land and of Sea; I cannot, I will not be parted from YOU; Then be not so cruel to bid Me adieu.
King. Pray rest now contented, for needs I must go; The Peace of the Kingdom will have it be so: The Power of the Government is in your hand; And every true Subject is at your command: Then dearest and loving, both real and true, I must of necessity bid you adieu. Queen. Distractions, in City and Country, may rise, With Uproars & Rumours, false Stories & Lyes; A Woman's soon daunted, and when You are gone, Your Wit will be wanted, and I be undone; Then cannot be pleased to part with you so, To Conquer the Irish, or any such foe.
King. For Britain & Ireland I haz[ards] have run; When their Church & their Store were almost undone And now I, in spite of old Babylon's Whore, Their Laws and their Liberties hope to restore. I'm sorry and greived to part with You too; But must, of necessity, bid You adieu. Queen. The Plots, and the Battles, by Sea and by Land, With many Misfortunes, which none can withstand And all the great dangers, which You undergo, Will tend to my sorrow, and turn to my woe: Then do not Encounter with Babylons crew, Nor think upon biding your Dearest Adieu. King. When Cannons do rore, and Bullets do flye; Who honour would win, must not fear to [to] dye Your words, and your sorrow, your sighs and your greif, They add to my trouble, but give no relief: Then do not my passion, but sighing renew, But suffer Me, freely, to bid You Adieu. Queen. My Sex, it is fearful, and quickly cast down; And many sad troubles lye under a Crown; Distractions and Contests at home and abroad, which are, for a Woman, too heavy a load: Then of your departing, I cannot allow, Nor can I endure YOU to speak of Adieu King. Do not more perswade me, but live still content; There's nothing that can now my going prevent: And tho' You be one of the female kind; There's nothing hard to a Couragious Mind. My Dearest Grive not, for I know what I do, And must (tho' I'm sorry) now bid you Adieu. Then sighing, the Queen in his arms he did take, Whose heart was, with sorrow, then ready to break: He kiss'd her, whilst She, that was modest & meek Dropt Pearls, that clouded the Skys of her Cheek. Then both, at Their parting, their Passions renew And, with a sad Sigh, bad each Other Adieu.
