Page:Famous battle between Captain Ward and the rainbow (2).pdf/4

 The third was brave Lord Eſſex
 * from field would never flee,

Who would have gone unto the ſea,
 * and brought proud Ward to me.

Love, I am coming to take my leave,
 * therefore my charming girl do not grieve.

For I am going to the Spanish ſhore,
 * to leave you my girl whom I adore,
 * to leave my charmer,
 * to leave my charmer,
 * to leave my charming girl whom I adore,

O Billy, Billy, hearken unto me,
 * how many ſhips there is loſt at ſea,

You’d be ſafer ſleeping in your true love's arms,
 * free from all dangers,
 * free from all dangers,

free from all dangers, and cold bitter ſtorms

No ſtorms nor danger love will I fear;
 * I will go to ſea in a privateer.

And if I be ſpared to return in life,
 * I will make you my lawful wife,

There is one thing more that diſturbes my mind.
 * ſome other fine girl I'm afraid you'll find,

While you are ſailing round the Spanish ſhore,
 * you ne'er will think,
 * you ne'er will think,
 * on your true love any more.
