FArewel my dearest dear, now I must leave thee, Thy sight I must forbear although it grives me: From thy imbraces love I shall be parted: Yet will I constant prove and be true-hearted. My fortune I will try upon the Ocean, And fight most valiantly to gain promotion; My dearest blood ile spend for this our Nation, My Country to defend from Foes invasion.
Princes of high renown are now ingaged, To pull the courage down of Foes inraged: Dukes, Lords & gentry high, all are preparing Their valour for to try, no cost is sparing. Why should I grudge to fight under the Banners, Of such approved Knights and brave Commanders: My chance I mean to try, I scorn to hide me, Ile face the Enemy what ere betide me.
WHen I am on the Seas in haile and thunder, Where storms do raise the waves to all mens wonder, When Billows brush the sky and tempests threat me, Still on thy name Ile cry Ile not forget thee. Though Hogan Mogan States doe brag and bluster, And call upon their Mates forces to muster, Wel make them for to know we can disturb them, Once again they must bow England will curb them. In midst of skirmish hot when blowes are dealing, Fiery balls fly about and ships are realing: When Cannons are roaring and bullets are flying, He that will honour win must not fear dying. My dearest do not moan let not grief move thee, When I am from thee gone still I will love thee, If fortune me befriend, thou mayst be certaine Ile often to thee send after our parting.
Thy Love Ile think upon in greatest danger, When I am from thee gone ile Love no stranger, No flesh alive shall make me prove unconstant; I will wait for thy sake, till the last instant. This piece of Gold wel break, love, for a token, Which as a pledge wel keep of faith unbroken, When thou the same dost see in my long absence, Then love remember me though at a distance. Hark how the Drums do beat with Trumpets sounding Souldiers in furious heat foes would be wounding From thy sweet company although it grieves me I must divided be and forct to leave thee. My Captain calls away in hast they hurry To march without delay I may not tarry, Patiently thou must bear love, leave thy weeping, Farewell my dearest dear, till our next meeting.
