<HEAD>The Seamans adieu to his pritty <HI>BETTY:</HI> Living near <HI>WAPPING; OR,</HI> A Pattern of true Love, <HI>&amp;c.</HI>
<Q><L>Sweet <HI>William</HI> to the Seas was pre&s;t,</L>
<L>and left his Love behind;</L>
<L>Whil&s;t &s;he her &s;orrows oft expre&s;t</L>

<L>SWeet <HI>William</HI> and pritty <HI>Betty,</HI></L>
<L>They were loving, kind, and pritty;</L>
<L>none alive could be more true,</L>
<L>Yet at la&s;t; how they was cro&s;t,</L>
<L>in brief I will declare to you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He aboard was then commanded,</L>
<L>By no means he could with&s;tand it,</L>
<L>&s;he was left with grief on &s;hore;</L>
<L>Di&s;contented &s;he lamented,</L>
<L>for the lo&s;s of him therefore.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Qd. he, my deare&s;t, cea&s;e thy weeping</L>
<L>Heavens have thee &s;till in keeping,</L>
<L>for if I return alive;</L>
<L>Here is my hand, by Sea and Land,</L>
<L>no creature &s;hall my Love deprive.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus with &s;ighs and tears they parted</L>
<L>She to him was Loyal hearted,</L>
<L>but her tears could not prevail;</L>
<L>She was left, of Ioy bereft,</L>
<L>for then the Ship was under Sail.</L>

<L>But alas! Tempe&s;tuous Weather,</L>
<L>Wind and Rain, &amp; Storms together,</L>
<L>thus the raging Seas did rore;</L>
<L>Quoth he, my dear, I greatly fear,</L>
<L>that I &s;hall never &s;ee thee more.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus the Claps of roaring Thunder,</L>
<L>Rais'd the waves to all Mens wonder</L>
<L>they were ca&s;t upon the Sand;</L>
<L>The Ship was lo&s;t, and they was cro&s;t</L>
<L>they being many <HI>Leagues</HI> from Land.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus their goodly Ship &s;taved,</L>
<L>Nothing that they had was was &s;aved</L>
<L>but the lives of only three;</L>
<L>We on &s;hore, may grieve therefore,</L>
<L>to think of their Extreamity.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While their grief they were expre&s;&s;ing</L>
<L>Heavens now doth &s;end a ble&s;&s;ing,</L>
<L>for a Ship that Sailed by,</L>
<L>Which did &s;ee them, and did free them</L>
<L>from that woful Di&s;tany.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They were bound for <HI>London</HI> City,</L>
<L>Where they found his true loves pitty,</L>
<L>thus they did declare indeed;</L>
<L>That <HI>William</HI> he, was in the Sea,</L>
<L>which made her very heart to bleed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O my deare&s;t Love, &s;he cryed,</L>
<L>Would I for thy &s;ake had dyed,</L>
<L>thou ly'&s;t rouling in the Sea;</L>
<L>Hear my Ditty, Lovers pitty,</L>
<L>can you now forbear to weep?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O ye Rocks and Waves &s;o cruel,</L>
<L>You have rob'd me of my Iewel,</L>
<L>you have got my hearts delight;</L>
<L>O come &s;eize me Death, and ea&s;e me,</L>
<L>thus &s;he cryed day and night.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then the Me&s;&s;enger came creeping,</L>
<L>All her friends was round her weeping</L>
<L>&s;eeing of her Mi&s;ery;</L>
<L>Then &s;he cryed, as &s;he dyed,</L>
<L>love I long to be with thee.</L>
