man. FArewell my dearest Dear, for needs I must away, Then for me do not fear, not troubled be I pray; While Fish swim in the Ocean Sea, I constant will remain, And none but thee My wife shall be, When I return again. maid. The dangers of the Seas torment my mind full sore; Methinks it might thee please to live upon the shore: Thy company I more do prize than all the Indian store: O prithee stay, Go not away, Least thou return no more.
man. One Voyage more my Dear, and then I will refrain, To travel i'le forswear, and quite forsake the Main: Thy Ivory breasts my Rocks shall be, thine eyes like stars shall shine, Ten thousand times I'le think on thee When I'm beyond the line. maid. The Voyage is so long, that I am sore afraid, And shall my self do wrong, by being thus delayed: What care I for the golden Mines, thou treasure art to me, Then let me find My true-love kind, As I am unto thee.
man. When home I do return with Gold and Silver store, Thou shalt no longer mourn thy sorrow shall give o're; I'le kiss and hug thee in mine arms, and cool thy hot desire; Thou shalt no more Complain so sore, Of Loves tormenting fire. maid. But I have heard some say full many a time to me, That some are cast away, and some do dye at Sea; If either of these should prove thy fate, then quite undone were I, For thy dear sake my heart would break, And I with grief should dye. man. Forbear my only joy, torment thy self no more There's some at Sea do dye and so there is on shore: The Heavenly power can us protect when we are out at Sea: Let the powers above Preserve my Love And go along with me.
maid. But then then is the Turk our mortal Enemies Who up and down do lurk Christians to make their prize: If they should light upon my Love 'twould be the worst of all: For rather I Had thou shouldst dye Than in their hands to fall. man. My dearest do not fear, we do go bravely man'd When we that course do steer the Turks do understand: And if they come with us to fight as we sail on the Main I hope we shall Be prosperous all And send them back again. maid. Then farwel my delight since needs it must be so: Methinks that I could fight if I with thee might go: I'd fight up to the knees in blood for to preserve my Dear My Love to save From watry Grave There's nothing I would fear.
