The Gallant Sailor

arewel my dear and gallant ſailor, ſince you and I muſt parted be; you prove conſtant without failing, I will till prove the ſame to thee.

ay ſhe winds and waves direct you, to the will port deſign'd; ough you leave me, do not grieve me, let your love be as true as mine.

or all my Father he proves cruel, you to a uſt go once more; With true love I will requite you, none bet you I do adore.

ightful dreams doth oft affright me, when on my bid I ſlumb'ring lie; dreadful horrors doth ſupriſe me, whea I dream you're caſt away.

then I'm ſtarted, and wake ſupriſed wiſhing that you were is my arms, would careſs you and embrace you, for to free you from all harms.

sometimes my dear, in fatal battle my thoughts give me that you are ſlain, o then there's nothing that can eaſe me, but my ſailors return again.
