Page:Black-ey'd Susan's garland (1).pdf/8

 Let not thy heart be sore opprest;

there is the broken piece of gold,

Which we did break upon a certain day,

when we did part, when we did part,

and I did sail away.

Sorrow and hardship I went through,

while I was on the raging main ;

Now my dear beloved Sue,

I am return’d to thee again:

No more I’ll cross the raging ocean wide,

but live at pleasure, but live at pleasure

with my lovely bride.

Susan in a swoon did faint

at William’s feet, I do declare,

Soon he reviv’d his charming saint,

there was a happy, loving pair;

William and Susan sweety past along

to Plymouth church, to Plymouth church,

where multitudes did throng.

Twenty stout sailors brave and bold,

and twenty maidens in rich attire,

A glorious sight for to behold,

music play’d sweet to their desire,

To accompany the bride and bridegroom there;

now they are joined, now they are joined

a sweet and happy pair.
