YOu Loyal young Damosells whose Lovers are bent, To serve in the wars with a valiant intent, Hear my resolution where ever you be, And say that my mind is a Kingdom to me. I still will be constant And true to my Friend, For I will go with my love To the worlds end. I can have no Comfort in staying behind, But Sorrows and Anguish to trouble my mind, Therefore for my fancy with him I will go Who now is my dearest and ever was so. I still will be constant etc.
Since he is resolved his foes to Ingage, Although that I am but of a tender Age, His loving Sweet company Ile not forgo, But I will march with him in weal or in wo. I still will be Constant etc. I value not dangers my temper is free All hardship whatever to take patiently, Ile find a reward for my Labour and pain If once we return to old England again. Therefore Ile be constant And true to my friend, For I will go with my love To the worlds end.
THe wars they are Irksome to Maidens we know, But yet so much love to my dearest I owe, That I am contented with him to abide, And never forsake him what ever betide. I still will be constant And true to my Friend, For I will go with my love To the worlds end. His Love and his valour to me hath been shown, His vertue, and Courage, through England is known, To fight for his King he will venture his blood. And I my self with him will cross the Salt Flood, I still will be constant etc. If that I were minded to tarry behind, I might have a Husband, though not to my mind, But for his dear sake I will venture my life So he will be faithful and make me his wife, I still will be constant etc. In France or in Flanders, where ever it be, In storms and in Tempests, in crossing the Sea, With patience Ile Suffer what falls to my Share, No hardship nor danger with love may compare. I still will be constant etc.
Then father, and mother I pray be content, Of my Resolution I ner shall repent, Then grant me your Blessing pray let it be so, That well I may prosper where ever I go. I still will be constant etc. Dear Brother, and Sister, it grieveth my heart That from my relations I now must depart, But I am in hopes for to see you again, If that I do live To come over the Main, I still will be constant, etc. Parthenia to Argulas near was more free Then I will unto my dear constant ever be, Tis love that doth cause me such dangers to try, Since I am not fearful But willing to dye, I still will be Constant, etc. And now my own dearest to thee I declare, That I am resovd in thy fortune to Share, Then let thy kind answer all sorrows remove, That I may have pleasure and joy in thy love. For I will be Constant And true to my Friend, And I will go with my Love To the Worlds end.
