OF late as I went abroad into the fields to walk, Therein I heard two Lovers thus sweetly Court and talk: Quoth the young man to the maid, My love hath ever been To thee my dearest Dear and Joy, as plainly thou hast seen But now love, I love, Must part from thee, For Father and Mother so commandeth me. Now farewell my dear true-love, whom I do love so well, Adieu my deerest heart, for I must bid thee now farewell, There's none in all the world now that I so well can love, Yet must be forced now to leave my Joy and Turtle-Dove, Then come Love, Now Love, Go thou with me, And I will be faithful alwayes to thee;
Then farewel unto London, and farewell to Cheapside, And all the Lasses brave and fine that therein do reside: And farewell unto Cornwall, and farewell unto Dover, If my Love will go along with me, wee'l range the Countrey over: Then come Love, Sweet Love, Go thou with me, For I will prove faithful always to thee. Farewel unto Westminster, and farewel to Whitehall, And farewel unto Ratcliffe, and farewel to Blackwall For I wil travel Flanders, and all the coast of Spain, And alwayes where that I am my true-love shall remain. Then come Love, Deare Love Go thou with me, For father and mother Ile forsake for thee.
THen farewell unto Greenwich, that stately place of pleasure, Where lives my Love and hearts delight, My Joy and onely Treasure: And farewell unto Islington, where lovers do resort, With Cakes and Wine, and all that's fine, themselves to feast and sport. Then come love, fine love, Go thou with me, For I wil be faithful only to thee. And farewell unto Highgate where we did often walk To view the fields both fresh and green, for pleasure and for talk; And Primrose hill where we our fil of loves deligght did see, But pleasures more I have in store if thou wilt go with me Her answer. I come love Now love, for to go with shee, for thou hast been faithfull alwayes to me, Then farewell my dear father, and farewel my dear mother, For my loves sake Ile you forsake, for love I cannot smother, My love and I will live and dye and constant be alwayes, And nothing shal our loves remove untill our dying dayes, Then sweet love, Deare love, I wil go with thee, Cause thou hast been faithful always to me.
If my love will go to Sea, then with him I wil goe, For in his breast my heart doth rest, it must and it shall be so: I doe not care what dangers deep, or feares I undergoe Because that now I see my love, wil never say me no. Then sweet love, I love Wil go along with thee What ever it happens our fortunes to be. Let father frown and mother chide, I will love him what ere betide, Cause I do see he doth resolve that I shall be his Bride. What pleasure's more then love that's true and constant, to be had When sorrows deep oppresse the mind, make our hearts full glad. Then stay love, sweet love, We will go together; for nothing shall our true loves sever. Then farewell all our friends, that love us as their life For I will have my own love, and be his loving wife, Wheresoere my Love doth goe, whether to France or Spain, I am resolv'd, and so will be his true love to remain. Then come Love, Go Love, Lets go together; For I'm resolv'd Ile forsake thee never.
