FArewel my love, farewel my dear, No longer may I tarry here; On board this morning I must go, This is unwelcome news I know. Will you be gone and leave your love? Will you unkind and cruel prove? Will you be gone, love, and leave me alone? Then I'll lay me down and make my moan. Why will you slight and leave me now? Why will you thus forget your vow? Tarry at home, on shore, with me, I'd rather loose my life then thee. Your love does ebb and flow I find, 'Tis more unconstant then the wind; Now prithee dearest let me know What is the cause it shou'd be so? Once you told me you lov'd me well, That, none but your heart and tongue can tell; You love another, you love not me, And care not for my company. You love another, the reason why, Because she's got more gold then I; But gold will wast, and silver fly, In time she may have as little as I. Have I not seen a morning gay, Bring forth a dark and cloudy day; So may this wealth become a snare To those that most unconstant are. Your gold and silver it is dross, And love, if I must bare the loss, Of thee, because I have not gold, This shews hot love is quickly cold. Can'st thou so soon be drawn away? Can heaps of gold thy conscence sway? [If] so, farewell to loyalty, Thy unkind frowns will ruin me.
If I had gold, love, thou should'st have part, As I have none, dear, thou hast my heart; Thou hast my heart, and free good will, I vow and swear I love thee still. Tho' thou hast caus'd me to complain, Tho' thou shoud'st kill me with disdain; 'Tis all a case, love, thou shalt find, That I will never change my mind. If I might have a lord or earl; Might I be deck'd with orient pearl, I'd part with all for thee, my love, Unkind to thee I'd never prove. Shall heaps of gold and silver bright, Cause me to wrong my heart's delight? No, while I have a day to live, A loyal heart to thee I'll give. They shall as soon the rocks remove, As the foundation of my love; Since I so constant do remain, Return me love for love again. The Seaman's Answer. MY dearest love forbear to weep, My former solemn vows I'll keep; No Riches in the world shall make, Me in the least my love forsake. This ring, my dear, I'll leave with you, The posie of the same is true; Pure love is better worth then gold, In which there's blessings manifold. O call the boat, love, unto the ferry, For I came hither to be merry; It shall ne'er be said, love, when we are dead, That jolly seamen are basely bread.
