Page:Captain Glen's unhappy voyage to New Barbary (2).pdf/3

 This wak‘d our Captain in a fright,

It being the third watch of the night;

then for his boatſwain he did call,

and told to him his ſecrets all.

When I in England did remain,

he holy Sabbath I did profane;

a drunkneſs I took delight,

Which does my trembling ſoul affright!

There‘s one thing more I do rehearſe,

which I ſhall inention in this verſe,

ſquire I flew in Staffordſhire,

All for the love of a lady fair.

Now ‘tis his ghoſt I am afraid,

that hath me ſo much terror bred;

Altho‘ the King has parden‘d me,

se‘s daily in my company.

O worthy Captain, ſince ‘tis ſo

no mortal of it e‘er ſhall know;

to keep this feeret in your breaſt,

and pray to God for to give you reſt.

They had not failed a league but three

Till raging grew the roaring ſea;

here roſe a tempeſt in the skies

which fill‘d our hearts with great ſurpriſe!
