F Arewel my dearest Dear, for thee and I must part, And I do greatly fear that it will break my heart: Yet hope I shall return again, Old England for to see: Nothing but Death, or want of breath shall part my Love and me. Alas! my Love, quoth she, wilt thou be so unkind, To go away from me, and leave me here behind.
Both night and day I shall complain (my Love) for want of thee, And still relate how cruel Fate did part my love and me. When stormy winds do blow, and billows they do rore, Our true-Loves then we know are troubled on the shore, For fear we should be cast away, or foundred in the Sea, While we do sing, no earthly thing shall part my love and me.
Oh Fortune too unkind! why dost thou use me so, To cause my love so kind away from me to go: Let not strange Countries change thy mind, but ever constant be, Nothing shall part but deaths cold dart my faithful love and me. Then Neptune , I implore assistance from thy hand, Now I must leave the shore, keep me from Rocks and Sands: That I may happily escape the dangers of the Sea, And let not Death stop my poor breath, and part my etc. Can Maidens tears prevail, i'le part with them good store, When thou art under sail i'le mourn upon the shore: All kind of comforts i'le refuse, till thee again I see, And nothing shall to us befall to part my etc. Nothing shall me affright when I from thee am gone, 'Twill be my hearts delight, my love to think upon:
I'le write thy name upon the Mast, and painted thou shalt be In my poor heart, that none may part my faithful love and me. I'le do the like on shore, for wheresoe're I be, The Element shall rore, of my fidelity: I'le sing thy praise where e're I go, thou shalt applauded be, And nought but Death shall stop my breath to part my love and me. My Voyage is but short, and I shall soon return, I shall be joyful for't, least thou my Dear shouldst mourn: Then Hymens Rites we will perform united will we be: And he at last, shall tye us fast, and joyn my love and me. That hour I long to see, O 'twould my joys encrease, Were I but match'd to thee, my soul would be at peace: Till then I ne'r shall be at rest, or shall contented be, Make no delay, Hymen , I say, to joyn my love and me.
