Susan, I this Letter send thee, let not Sighs and Tears attend thee; we are on the Coast of France, taking prizes from those Nizeys, my sweet Jewel to advance.
Since we London have forsaken, Five Rich Prizes have we taken; two of them Nantz Brandy Wine, Chests of Money, my sweet Honey, with rich Silks and Sattin fine. The first Merchants Ship we Boarded, Which great store of Wealth afforded; we fell on most eagerly; Search and Plunder, burst in sunder, making Chests and Cabins fly.
Where the Treasure was inclosed, We want in the least opposed; rich Embroidered Silks we found, Other Treasure, out of Measure, worth near seven thousand pound. Fortune she did still befriend us, And another Booty send us; twice the worth of that before, Though we gaind it, and obtaind it, yet our Guns was forcd to Roar.
While we did both Charge and Fire, They endeavour to retire; but the Contest was not long Eer we enterd, bravely venturd, yet received but little wrong. Love, well plunder French and Tory For to raise great Britains Glory, and to pull proud Lewis down; Each great spirit then will merit, double honour and renown. Dearest, when I first did leave thee, Parting with thy Love did grieve thee, But I vowd Id Letters send, To improve thee, for I love thee, as a true intire Friend. Love this Promise is not broken, Here I have sent thee a Token, A rich Chain and Diamond Ring, And ten times more I have in store, which I to thee in time will bring.
Like a Lady thou shalt flourish, Thy poor drooping heart Ill nourish, and thy former Joys restore; Gold and Treasure, Love and Pleasure if I live to come on shore. Love, the world shall now admire, When they see thy rich attire, like a youthfull Lady Gay; I declare it, thou shalt wear it, yet proud France for it shall pay. Dearest, though we now do sever, Yet I will be thine forever; I prefer no one beside, Eer before thee, I adore thee, none but Death shall us divide.
