OF a Constant Young Seaman, a Story Ile tell: That I hope all true Lovers will please very well: All his cry was still, though I continue a Slave; Yet the want of my Dear. is far worse than a Grave, All the tedious long Night in close Prison I lye; But methinks I behold my dear love lying by:
In the midst of my pains, this doth still give me ease; That is pleasant to me, which some call a Disease. Sometimes to the Gallies Im forced to go; Though amongst all my Fellows, like a Slave I do Row: And when I am spent with this Labour and Pain; The thoughts of my Love doth revive me again.
ANd when with Strappadoes sometimes I do meet: I find little Pain, if I think on my sweet: Thus twixt Pleasure and Pain, my time I do spend; Yet vow to be Constant unto my Lives end. No Torture nor Prison shall make me forsake, Nor flye from my Reason, for my Bettys sake: I do slight all the Torments bestowd by the Turk; When I think on my Dear, and in Gallies do work. But a Renegado to make me they strive; Ile never consent tot, whilst I am alive: But will a Couragious true Protestant be: Ile be true to my faith, and be constant to thee. Ah Betty, when Billows do Rage and do Roar, For want of thy sight I am troubled sore: Whilst others are troubled with terror and fear; Yet I am cheard up with the thoughts of my Dear. No Prison is like to the want of thy sight;
Which Locks up my bliss, for thou art my Delight: Though distant I am, therefore only opprest: Yet still my dear Betty doth lodge in my breast. In the midst of my sorrows, whilst others do mourn; Tis the want of my Love that doth make me forlorn: Yet would not enjoy thee in this cursed place; Though for want of thy Love, my tears trickle apace. But be of good cheer, for every one knows, Tis an ill Wind indeed that no comfort blows. And again I do hope thee in England to see: Then whol be so happy as Betty and me. And now thorough Providence, I am returnd; By Shipwrack I scapd, for our Ship it was burnd: No torment like mine was, when I was a Slave: For the want of my Betty, was worse then a Grave.
