<L>Never was Maid more unwi<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">ling,</L>
<L>than I to part with my dear,</L>
<L>Why wilt thou hazard the dangers,</L>
<L>of the Tempe&s;tious Seas,</L>
<L>With the abu&s;es of Strangers,</L>
<L>when thou might live at thy ea&s;e.</L>

<L>Seamen mu&s;t ne'r be di&s;may'd</L>
<L>There is nothing can delight us,</L>
<L>more then a pro&s;perous Trade:</L>

<L>Why do&s;t thou tell me of trea&s;ure?</L>
<L>threaten me that thou wilt roam,</L>
<L>Can I po&s;&s;e&s;s greater ple&s;ure,</L>

<L>What tho' a while we are parted?</L>
<L>heaven &s;till will be my guide,</L>

<L>Bow&s;on with all the whole Crew,</L>
<L>Marryed Men as well as Freemen,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>Deare&s;t thy language does grieve me,</L>
<L>being &s;urrounded with fears,</L>
<L>Ha&s;t thou the power to leave me,</L>
<L>drowned with &s;orrowful tears?</L>
<L>When I con&s;ider my Iewel,</L>

<L>Love, when mo&s;t terrible thunder,</L>

<L>Tearing your Rigging a&s;under,</L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="1 letter">o&s;t between Billows and Skies.</L>
<L>Weeping alas ! mu&s;t relieve me,</L>
<L>while thou art Sailing the Sea,</L>
<L>Nothing in nature doth grieve me,</L>
<L>more than the parting with thee,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Prithee be patient my Sweeting,</L>
