Man ARise from thy bed, my Turtle and dear, And let in thy true Love, that stands coldly here, Leave sleeping a while and let us imbrace, I love to behold, thy beautifull face, Whose sighing and sorrow, to pitty did move My heart for the present, and want of my Love, But now ime arrived, again to the shore, To make thee my spouse all, Ingaged before. Maid. What Eccho is this, that sounds in my ear, O tis the sweet voyce, of my love and my dear, Who venturing his life, upon the salt Main, By Heaven is escapt, and returned again, I come my Love quickly, to give thee a kiss For now I injoy, what I long time did miss, Then welcome my True love, thrice welcome to mee, I often lamented, for wanting of thee.
Man I tel thee my dearest, since I did depart, I often did sail, with a sorrowfull heart, The troublesome Seas, and tempests did rise, The clouds being pitchy, and darkned the Skyes, But none of these Tempests, nor storms did so move, My heart to relenting, as lacking my love, When Billows were mighty. and Gusts did appear, Yet nothing did grieve mee, but want of my dear. Maid. When thou on the Seas was farre out of sight, My heart was tormented, by day and by night, I dreading your death by wrack or by sands, Or that you were fallen, into murderers hands This subject of forror, my soul did affright, Whose absence did banish, all joy and delight But now ile leave sighing, and mourning a while, For heaven has been pleased on Lovers to smile.

Man. BUt tell mee my love, are all our foes dead, That caus'd this disaster, and misery bred, May wee now bee joyned, in union and Peace, And have the fruition, of natures increase, Without contradiction, of Parents or friends Or else our new Comedy tragicall ends, For I to the Ocean, on force must depart, Yet for a true signet, Ile leave thee my heart, Maid O stay love, O stay love, with mee that am thine. Thy heart is concealed, as thou hast done mine, My Father and Mother, by Fortunes decree, Are dead now and buried, then welcome to mee, Our chief adversaries, are now turn'd our friends, And those that did wrong thee will make thee amends. The Clouds being banisht, the Sun shineth clear, And Cupid invites me to welcome my dear: Man Then welcome my Love, the life of my Soul, Whose reall intention there's none can controle, And as a chaste maiden, most vertuous doth prove, So Sea men do scorn, to be false in their Love,
As Sol in his glory, ith' sky doth indure, My heart is so fixed, both stedfast and sure, Then give mee thy hand, and thy heart both as one, And then all our troubles and sorrows are done. Maid. O here I resigne, both my love and my life. Farewell chaste Diana, I must bee a Wife, Assist us good Himen, to tye Marriage bands, For Cupid effected this joyning of hands. Tis titles of honour, for those that are wed. Whose actions are modest, and civill in bed, But such that are shamelesse, and wanton by playes, Dishonour their husbands, and shorten their daies. Author Then young men and maids, that hear this new song, Bee faithfull and kind, and do no one wrong, For love like the Soul, to the body gives life, And happies that man, that hath a chaste wife, For vertues in women, contentment doth bring, From whence the sweet foun-tain, Of riches doth spring And men that are reall, and constant in mind, O they are accepted, and counted most kind.
