Page:Most excellent song, called, The sodger's return.pdf/8

 To let him go to serve his king, My love he did implore me, He hop'd that I would follow him. And said he'd go before me.

Both neat and trim she followed him, D estDrest [sic] in a man's attire, She said she'd follow him to the war. And by his side expire.

I'll take delight with him to fight, Suppose the bullets bore me. No danger e'er shall me affright, With the boy that's gone before me.
