TWo Lovers in the North, Constance and Anthony, Of them I will set forth a gallant history; They lov'd exceeding well, as plainly doth appear; But that which I shall tell, the like you ne'r did hear: Still she crys, Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend along with thee. Anthony must to sea, his calling doth him bind, My Constance, Dear, quoth he, I must leave thee behind; I prithee do not grieve, thy tears will not prevail; I'll think on thee, my Swe[e]t, when the ship's under sail. But still etc.
How may that be, said he, consider well the case. Quoth she, Sweet Anthony, I'll 'bide not in this place: If thou gang, so will I; of the means do not doubt, A Woman's policy, great matters may find out: My bonny Anthony, etc. I would be very glad; but, prethee tell me how? I'll dress me like a Lad, what say'st thou to me now? The sea thou canst not brook Yes, very well, quoth she; I'll scullion to the Cook, for thy sweet company: My bonny Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend along with thee.
Anthonys leave she had, and drest in Man's array, She seem'd the blithest Lad, seen on a summer's day. O see what love can do! at home she will not 'bide: With her true Love she'll go, let weal or woe betide: My dearest Anthony, my dearest Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend along with thee. In the ship 'twas her lot to be the Under-cook: And at the fire hot great pains she took: She served e'ry one fitting to their degree; And now and then alone she kissed Anthony. My bonny, etc. Alack and well-a-day, by tempest on the main, Their ship was cast away upon the coast of Spain, To th' mercy of the waves they all committed were; Constance her own self saves, then she cries for her Dear, My bonny, etc. Swimming upon a plank, at Bilbo she got ashore; First she did Heaven thank, then she lamented sore, O woe is me, said she, the saddest Lass alive,
My dearest Anthony, now on the sea doth drive: My bonny Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend along with thee. What shall become of me! why do I strive for shore, Sith my sweet Anthony, I never shall see thee more? Fair Constance, do not grieve, the same good Providence, Hath sav'd thy Lover sweet, but he is far from hence: Still she, etc. A Spanish Marchant rich, saw this fair seeming Lad, That did lament so much, and was so grievous sad: He had in England been, and English understood, He having heard and seen, he in amazement stood: Still she, etc. The Merchant asked her, what was that Anthony; Quoth she, My Brother, Sir, who came from thence with me. He did her entertain, thinking she was a Boy; Two years she did remain, before she met her Joy: Still she crys, Anthony, my bonny, Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend along with thee.
Anthony up was tane by an English Runagade, With whom he did remain at the sea-roving-trade: I' th' nature of a Slave, he did i' th' galley row, Thus he his life did save, but Constance did not know; Still she crys, Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Gang thou by land or sea, I'll wend a[l]ong with thee. Now mark what came to pass, see how the Fates did work, A ship that her Master's was, surpriz'd this English-Turk, And into Bilbo brought all that aboard her were; Constance full little thought, Anthony was so near: Still she, etc. When they were come on shore, Anthony and the rest, She who was sad before, was now with joy possest; The Merchant much did muse, at this so sudden change; He did demand the news, which unto him was strange: Now she, etc. Upon her knees she fell, unto her Master kind, And all the truth did tell, nothing she kept behind: At which he did admire, and in a ship of Spain, Not paying for the hire, he sent them home again: Now she, etc. The Spanish Merchant rich, did of 's own bounty give A sum of gold, on which they now do bravely live: And now in Westmoreland, they were joyn'd hand in hand, Constance and Anthony, they live in mirth and glee: Still she crys, Anthony, my bonny Anthony, Good Providence, we see, hath guarded thee and me.
