 :and we'll be married upon the ſea, The men all confus'd ſoon as they heard the news
 * and mov'd with pity for the lovely fair,

And ſo we do hear they were married there
 * e'er the morning light did appear.

But ſtill as you ſhall find fortune prov'd unkind,
 * theſe two lovers for to divide,

As he ſleeping was by his love ſo fair,
 * boreas blew and dreadful ſtorms did riſe,

All hands aloft they run dangers for to ſhun
 * while the ſwelling boſom of the ſea,

Toſs them mountains high they for help do cry,
 * to the Lord in their extremity.

The crew were in fear, ſeeing danger near
 * expecting every moment for to die,

The men all employed to ſave their lives,
 * as on a rock the gallant ſhip did lie.

This woman on the deck came amongſt the reſt
 * in the hurry over board ſhe fell;

No one could her ſave the ſea was her grave,
 * a tragic ſtory her love for to tell,

The powers did decree they ſhould ſaved be,
 * by the waves they from the rock were driven

The ſtorms abated were to their comfort there
 * for this fortune they thanked heaven,

But the Captain cry'd where is my loving bride,
 * having looked but no one could her ſee,

For O unlucky day ſhe was caſt away;
