When Sol will cast no light all darkned over, And dosesome time of night the Skies did cover: Down by a Rivers side where Ships are sailing, There a fair Maid I spied. weeping and wailing. I stept unto her straight, dearest what grieves thee? She answered me, and said, none can relieve me? Tis seven long years and more since my Love parted, And left me on this shore quite broken hearted.
He promised to return, if life was sent him, Which makes me sigh and mourn, death doth prevent him: O that I could but hear some tidings from him, How it my heart would cheer, [for] all my longing. A young Man straight she spied, like one amazed, Which did a token bring, whereon she gazed; Where is my Love? quoth she, that comes not near me. The Young-man he replyd, please for to hear me.
YOur Love and I did fight under one Banner, Maintaining Englands Right, purchasing Honour: He was a Seamon bold, of courage valiant, Scorning to be contrould by ere a Gallant. But in a dreadful Fight where Guns did rattle, And many a gallant Wight, fell in the Battle: His fatal Destiny near was approaching, And summond him away by Deaths incroaching. When he his Deaths wound had, and Brains were broken, To me these words he said, deliver this Token To her that hath my heart and is more dearer, Wishing her for my sake to love the Bearer. And having spoke those words he then declined, And in a Stream of Blood his life resigned: Leaving me full of Care, sad News to bear it, His death for to declare as you now hear it.
When she the Tydings heard with this sad Potion, She like a Stock appeard without all Motion: At length her Spirits came by Grief inflamed, And then with Floods of Tears thus she exclaimed. O! ye great Powers above, which life doth send us; And thou the God of Love that did befriend us, Why have ye snatchd away my dearest Sweeting, And by your Cruelty spoiled our meeting. Since that my Love is dead, whom I did tender, No comfort I will take but life surrender: In some unwonted paths, there will I wander, And prove more constant than eer was Leander. And so vain world farewel and all thy pleasure, Since he is gone that was my chiefest Treasure: In the Elizium Shades there will I hide me Until I find my Love what eer betide me.
