<L>MY Love I come to take my leave,</L>

<L>My Dear, &s;aid &s;he, be not unkind,</L>
<L>I &s;hall no Peace nor Comfort find,</L>
<L>My very Heart will break for thee,</L>
<L>If thus we mu&s;t divided be:</L>
<L>While thou art with Foes &s;urrounded,</L>
<L>Where the loud-mouth'd Cannons roar;</L>

<L>The Work, which fairly is begun,</L>

<L>If you re&s;olve to go to Sea,</L>
<L>In Sailers Robes I'll be array'd,</L>

<L>&s;uch idle Fancies ne'r pur&s;ue,</L>
<L>Thy &s;oft and tender milk-white Hand,</L>
<L>Seamen's labour cannot do:</L>

<L>alas! my Heart is &s;unk full low,</L>
<L>The want of thy &s;weet Company,</L>
<L>will &s;urely prove my Overthrow:</L>
<L>Therefore deare&s;t do not leave me</L>

<L>Tho' bitterly &s;he did Complain,</L>
<L>Her Sighs and Tears were all in vain,</L>
<L>He would not &s;uffer her to go,</L>
<L>So many Cares and Griefs to know:</L>
<L>But with &s;weet Salutes they parted,</L>
<L>She was left with Tears on Shore;</L>
