<L><HI>A</HI> Broad as I was walking, all by the Park &s;ide</L>
<L>Abroad as I was walking, &s;o merry merrily;</L>
<L>Oh I heard a fair maid make great moan,</L>

<L><HI>And &s;till &s;he did weep for good company.</HI></L>
<L>Oh what do you weep for? my wellfavour'd Maid</L>
<L>What do you weep for, &s;o &s;ore and bitterly?</L>
<L>Quoth &s;he, I weep for an Engli&s;h-man,</L>
<L><HI>That is quite bani&s;ht out of this Country, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>Come I am the Burge&s;s of <HI>Edenborough</HI> town,</L>
<L>And I pray thee Sweet-heart lay thy love to me,</L>
<L>oh then this Merchant-Man draws forth a bag of gold</L>
<L>And he laid it on this fair Maids knee;</L>
<L>Saying &s;weet-heart, take thou this,</L>
<L><HI>And afterwards lay thy love to me, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I pray you take up your money, your money,</L>
<L>I pray you take up your gold and all your fee,</L>

<L><HI>A</HI> Greed, agreed, the Merchant-man did &s;ay,</L>
<L>I do love thee with all my heart,</L>

<L><HI>For I from my deare&s;t will never depart.</HI></L>
<L>the next day being come, they were Married both,</L>
<L>Being cloathed in rich array,</L>
<L>And being at the Church they both plighted their troth</L>
<L><HI>and Kept a mo&s;t jovial wedding-day, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>But they had not been a month Married,</L>
<L>Not a Month Married were they,</L>
<L>But there came News from <HI>Edenborough-town</HI></L>
<L><HI>That all Merchant-Men mu&s;t go to Sea, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>This grieved the Merchant piteou&s;ly,</L>
<L>That he mu&s;t &s;o &s;oon bid adieu to his dear,</L>
<L>But alas the poor Bride, how grieved was &s;he?</L>
<L><HI>And at every word fell many a tear, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>He bid her adieu, for to Sea he mu&s;t go,</L>
<L>But &s;he held him fa&s;t in her arms,</L>
<L>You mu&s;t not, you &s;hall not, my deare&s;t now,</L>
<L><HI>I will keep you at home without harms, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>Oh I mu&s;t go to Sea my Honey, my Honey,</L>
<L>Oh I mu&s;t go to Sea my deare&s;t Honey,</L>
<L>But when I am gone to Sea, and to Sea,</L>
<L><HI>I prithee look after my little Conney, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>Then giving her many Ki&s;&s;es &s;o &s;weet,</L>
<L>He bid her farewell with a &s;orrowful heart,</L>
<L>Saying, be<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 span"> of good cheer till again we do m&eacute;et</L>
<L><HI>And then from my Love I will never depart, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>When thus he had &s;aid, then away he did go,</L>
<L>And now he is &s;ailing over the Main,</L>
<L>He leaves her behind, full of &s;orrow and woe,</L>
<L><HI>But more you &s;hall know, when he comes back again,</HI></L>
