TWo Lovers in the North, Constance and Anthony, Of them I will set forth a gallant History; They lovd exceeding well, as plainly doth appear; But that which I shall tell, the like you ner did hear. Still she crys Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by Land or Sea, Ill wend along with thee. Anthony must to Sea, his Calling did him bind, My Constance, Dear, quoth he, I must leave thee behind. I prithee do not grieve, thy tears will not prevail: Ill think on thee, my Sweet, when the Ships under Sail. But still, etc. oHw may that be? said he, consider well the case: Quoth she, sweet Anthony, Ill bide not in this place. If thou gang, so will I, of the means do not doubt: A Womans policy great matters may find out: My bonny Anthony, etc.
I would be very glad, but prithee tell me how? Ill dress me like a Lad, what sayst thou to me now? The Sea thou canst no[t] brook, yes very well, quoth she, Ill Scullion to the Cook for thy sweet company. My bonny, etc. Anthonys leave she had, and drest in Mans array, She seemd the blithest Lad seen on a Summers Day. O see what Love can do, at home she will not bide: With her true Love shell go, let weal or woe betide. My dearest, etc. In the Ship twas her Lott to be the under Cook; And at the Fire hot, wonderful pains she took: She served ery one, fitting to their degree; And now and then alone, she kissed Anthony. My bonny Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by Land or Sea, Ill wend along with thee.
ALack and weladay, [?] on the Main, There S[h]ip [was] cast away upon the Coast of Spain; To [the] mercy of the Waves, t[h]ey all committed [wer]e, Constance h[er] o[w]n self saves, then she crys for her dear, My bonny Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by Land or Sea, Ile wend along with thee. Swimming upon a Plank, at Bilbo she got ashore First she did heaven thank, then she lamented sore, O woe is me, said she, the saddest Lass alive, My dearest Anthony, now on the Sea doth drive. My bonny, etc. What shall become of me, why do I strive for shore, Sith my sweet Anthony, I never shall see more? Fair Constance do not grieve, the same good providence, Hath savd thy lover sweet, but he is far from hence, Still, etc.
A Spanish Merchant rich, s[?] this fa[i]r seeming Lad, That did lament so much, and was so grevious sad, He had in England been and English understood, He having heard and seen, he in amazement stood: Still, etc. The Merchant asked her, what was that Anthony, Quoth she, my Brother Sir, who came from thence with me: He did her entertain, thinking she was a Boy, Two years she did remain, before she met her joy. Still, etc. Anthony up was tane by an English Runagade, With whom he did remain, at the Sea-roving trade: Ith nature of a slave, he did ith Galley row, Thus he his life did save, but Constance did not know: Sill she cryes Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by Land or Sea, Il wend along with thee.
Now mark what came to pass, see how the fates did work, A Ship that her Mastere was, suprizd this English Turk, And into Bilbo brought all that aboard her were. Constance still little thought, Anthony was so near. Still, etc. When they were come on shore Anthony and the rest, She who was sad before, was now with joy possest, The Merchant much did muse, at this so sudden change, He did demand the News, which unto [hi]m was strange: Now she, etc. Upon her knees she fell, unto her Master kind, And all the truth did tell, nothing she kept behind: At which he did admire, and in a ship of Spain, Not paying for their hire, he sent them home again. Now she, etc. The Spanish Merchant rich, did ofs own bounty give A sum of Gold on which they now most bravely live: And now in Westmoreland, they were joynd hand in hand Constancy and Anthony, they live in mirth and glee, Now she says Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Good providence we see, hath guarded thee and me.
