YOU loyal Lovers far and near, that live and reign in Cupid's Court, I'd have you freely lend an Ear, while I my Sorrows do report: She that I lov'd has left me o'er, I'll never trust a Woman more.
In her I plac'd my chief Delight, and was her Captive night and day; For why? her charming Beauty bright had clearly stole my Heart away: But she will not my Joys restore, I'll never, etc.
On Board of Ship I chanc'd to go, to serve our good and gracious King; Now when she found it must be so, she did her Hands in Sorrow ring, Yet Wedded when I left the Shore, I'll never trust a Woman more. My dearest Love, she often cry'd forbear to sail the Ocean Sea; If Fortune shall us now divide, alas! what will become of me? This she repeated ten times o'er, yet I'll never, etc. A thousand solemn Vows I made, and she return'd the like again, That no one should our Hearts invade, but both in loyal Love remain; Yet she another had in store, I'll never, etc. I was oblig'd to leave the Land, and ready to go hoist up Sail, At which Tears in her Eyes did stand, and bitterly she did bewail; Yet she another had in store, I'll never, etc.
I gave her then a Ring of Gold, to keep in Token of True Love, And said, My dearest Dear behold! I evermore will Loyal prove; She Married when I left the Shore, I'll never, etc. Five Months I plough'd the Ocean Main, with Courage void of dread and fear, At length with Joy return'd again, to the Embraces of my Dear, But she another had in store, I'll never, etc. Constancy doth torture me, and makes my Sorrows most sever[e] Like a keen Dart it pierc'd my Heart, for why I did the Tydings hear, As soon as e'er I came on Shore; I'll never, etc. Now must I wander in Despair, I find it is the Fates Decree; My Grief is more than I can bear, I can love none alive [b]ut she: Farewell, farewell, my Native shore, I'll never trust a Woman more.
