DEar Comfort I must, though it grieves me to go, To leave thee behind me breeds sorrow and woe, But the greatest of Storms shall ne'r cause me to fear, For ile cheer up my heart with the thoughts of my dear. When the winds they do blow and the Billows do roar, If I call but to mind My dear Love on the Shore My heart will rejoyce, and ile banish all fear, In hopes to return to my love and my dear.
Then be but as Loyal as ile be to thee, And nothing but death shall e're part thee and me, If women like Angels to me should appear, Yet still ile be true to my Love and my Dear. Tis true that we Sailers strange wonders do see, And strangers oft kind to the English will be, But the beauties of Venice can never come near Thy feature, my Darling my Love and my dear.
Believe what I say my hearts chiefest delight That think on thee still both by day and by night. For at home and abroad it shall alwaies appear, That I will be true to my love and my dear. The Maidens Answer. I hear my true love this most sorrowful news, Which makes me lament, alas, how can I choose. The Seas I do fear will my comforts destroy, And rob me at last of my comfort and joy. Oh! when thou art absent what joy can I find, Or what can give ease to my troubled mind, E'ry wind that doth blow will my pleasures destroy, For fear I should lose my delight and my joy. Go thou but to Venice thou never shalt find A lover so true, or so faithful and kind.
Though at first I did seem to be childish and coy, Thou now art my comfort, my love and my joy. Then never forsake me for profit or gain, Nor leave thy true love for the wealth of the main. A jewel to love is an absolute Toy, Then never forsake me my love and my joy. But if thou wilt go to the Seas that do rage, Give me but thy promise, and firmly ingage, Then ile wait thy return, nothing shall me annoy, But I constant will prove to my comfort and joy, Such Loyalty never by any was shown As ile show to thee, for I love thee alone, When we once are fastty'd ile applaud the blind Boy, That taught me to love thee my comfort and joy.
