THE Two Faithful Lovers To thâ— Tune of Franklin is fled away c. Man FArewel my heart's delight Ladies adieu I must now take my flight what e'er ensue My Country-men I see They cannot yet agree Since 't will no better be England farewel Maid O be not so unkind heart love and joy To leave me here behind breeds my annoy O have a patient heart I 'll help to bear the smart E'er I from thee will part my turtle dove M. I 'll leave thee gold good store thee to maintain What can'st thou wish for more do not complain Servants shall wait on thee I 'll give thee jewels three That thou maist think on me when I am gone M. Your gold I count but dross when you are fled Your absence is my loss 't will strike me dead Servants I will have none When you are from me gone I 'd rather lye alone from company M. I am resolv'd to go fortnue to prove Advise me what to do my dearest love For here I will not ' bide What e'er doth me betide Heavens now be my guide and lead the way M. Then let me go with you heart love and joy I will attend on you and be your boy If you will go to sea I 'll serve you night and day For here I will not stay if you go hence M. The seas are dangerous strangers unkind The rocks are perillous so is the wind My care is all for thee As thou maist plainly see Dear heart go not with me but stay behind M. Tho' seas do threaten death my heart's delight With thee I 'll spend my breath nought shall affright With thee I 'll live and dye In thy sweet company Though dangers shall be nigh both day and night In man's apparel now to sea she went Because with him she 'd be her heart 's content She cut her lovely hair And no mistrust there were That she a maiden fair was at that time To Venice they were bound with full consent With sorrows compast round away they went On an unhappy day The ship was cast away Which wrought their lives decay friends discontent The ship being cast away fortune so frown'd He swam to land that day but she was drown'd Oh! his true love was drown'd And never after found And he encompast round with grief and care O cruel seas quoth he and rocks unkind To part my dear and me in love combin'd O cast her on this shore I may her death implore And mourn for evermore until I dye You loyal lovers all that hear this ditty Sigh and lament my fall let 's move you to pitty She lies now in the deep In everlasting sleep And left me here to weep in great distress Dear love I come quath he heaven's me guide I long to be with thee my only bride In Venice he did dye And there his corpse doth lye And left his friends to cry O Hone.
