<LG>
<L><HI>JEMMY</HI> and <HI>SUSAN</HI> both loving and Loyal,</L>
<L>and in their Embraces their joys did abound,</L>
<L>Fortune divided them, this was a tryal,</L>
<L>&s;weet <HI>Su&s;an</HI> with &s;orrow encompa&s;&s;ed round:</L>
<L>Now he was forced to leave his &s;weet <HI>Su&s;an,</HI></L>
<L>and al&s;o commanded to hoi&s;t up their Sail,</L>
<L>This was a grief to them both in conclu&s;ion,</L>
<L>ah! how &s;he in &s;orrow then did bewail.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus his &s;weet <HI>Su&s;an</HI> alas! &s;he lamented,</L>
<L>&s;he blaming the fate and her fortune unkind,</L>
<L><HI>Jemmy</HI> beholding his heart then relented,</L>
<L>he &s;aid my dear Creature, thou &s;urely &s;halt find:</L>
<L>Though for a time we mu&s;t now be divided,</L>
<L>my heart I will lodge and lay up in thy brea&s;t,</L>
<L>If by the powers above we are guided,</L>
<L>when I return my dear love &s;hall be ble&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I do de&s;ire to have Life no longer,</L>
<L>then I do intend to prove true to my Dear,</L>
<L>Though for a time we are parted a&s;under,</L>
<L>yet I will be faithful, love be of good cheer:</L>
<L>Never was creature more fair and compleater,</L>
<L>then my loving <HI>Su&s;an,</HI> the joy of my mind,</L>
<L>Graced with Beauty in every feature,</L>
<L>I'le be unchangable, Love thou &s;halt find.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh that my &s;ighs and my tears were prevailing,</L>
<L>my dear to enjoy thee, and all would be well;</L>
<L>But in thy ab&s;ence all ble&s;sings are failing,</L>
<L>&s;weet <HI>Jemmy</HI> 'tis thee that my grief can expel:</L>
<L>Love do not leave me, &s;weet <HI>Jemmy</HI> reprieve me,</L>
<L>now from tho&s;e &s;ad fighing, and &s;orrow and grief,</L>
<L>Thou ha&s;t my heart, dear <HI>Jemmy</HI> believe me,</L>
<L>then take &s;ome pitty and yield me relief.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My deare&s;t <HI>Jemmy,</HI> the Seas they have danger,</L>
<L>when in raging Tempe&s;ts the Billows do roar,</L>
<L>I to tho&s;e &s;orrows my Love am a &s;tranger,</L>
<L>and wh<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">n thou art gone I &s;hall ne'r &s;ee thee more:</L>
<L>I have five hundred pounds to my portion,</L>
<L>in Silver and Gold, love all &s;hall be thine;</L>
<L>Why &s;hould&s;t thou hazzard thy Life on the Ocean,</L>
<L>and leave me in &s;orrow here to repine?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Cea&s;e my &s;weet <HI>Su&s;an,</HI> for I am engaged,</L>
<L>with Noble Commanders to Sail on the Main,</L>
<L>Love, let thy &s;orrows and tears be a&s;&s;waged,</L>
<L>dear be but contented and do not complain.</L>
<L>Let not my ab&s;ence my jewel &s;o grieve thee,</L>
<L>the pride of my Heart and joy of my mind,</L>
<L>Take here my Ring as a pledge I will leave thee,</L>
<L>and I will be faithful, love thou &s;halt find.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then from her fair Eyes the tears they did trickle,</L>
<L>like &s;treams that flow'd down from the fountain of love,</L>
<L>Faithful and Loyal, and &s;corns to be fickle,</L>
<L>her heart it was fixed and could not remove;</L>
<L><HI>Su&s;an</HI> in &s;orrow almo&s;t broken-hearted,</L>
<L>the wind it did &s;erve with a mo&s;t plea&s;ant gale,</L>
<L>Then the&s;e two Lovers, alas! they were parted,</L>
<L>for the goodly Ship was now under Sail:</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now he is gone, may the Heavens protect him,</L>
<L>from all the proud Waves of the Tempe&s;tuous Main,</L>
<L>Keep him from danger, and always direct him,</L>
<L>and &s;end him in &s;afety to <HI>England</HI> again:</L>
<L>Here to compleat our joys with a ble&s;sing,</L>
<L>in a true Lovers knot which can ne'r be unty'd;</L>
<L>All that is mine, he &s;hall then be po&s;&s;e&s;sing,</L>
<L>and never depart till Death us divide.</L>
