Page:Jemmy and Nancy of Yarmouth, or, The constant lovers (1).pdf/7

 By light of the moon, whiehwhich [sic] brightly was shining,

She spy’d her lover, who to her did say,

Your parents are sleeping, before they awake

Stir my dear ereaturecreature [sic], and eomecome [sic] away.

O Jemmy, she cry'd, if my father should hear,

We both shall be ruin’d, I pray thee repair

Unto the sea-side, I'll there meet with you,

With my two maids I’ll meet with you there.

Her night-gown embroider’d with gold and silver,

Carelessly round her body she instantly throws,

With her two maids who did attend her,

To meet her lover she instantly goes.

Close in his arms did the spirit enfold her,

Jemmy, she said, you are eoldercolder [sic] than clay!

Sure you’re not the man that I do admire;

Paler than death you appear unto me.

Yes, fairest ereaturecreature [sic], I am your true love;

Dead or alive, you know your my own !

I eomecome [sic] for thy vow, my dear, you must follow

My body now to a watery tomb.

I, for your sake, refus’d gold and silver;

Beauty and riches for you I despis’d;

A eharmingcharming [sic] lady for me did expire;

For thinking on you I was deaf to her eriescries [sic].

Your eruelcruel [sic] parents have been my undoing,

And now I do sleep in a watery grave;

Now for thy promise, my dear, I am shewing,

Dead or alive now you I must have.

trembling lady was sorely affrighted!

Amazed she stood near the brink of the sea!

With eyes lifted up, she cried, eruelcruel [sic] parents,

May you he requited for your cruelty.
