Page:Tragedy of, Jamie and Nancy of Yarmouth.pdf/3

                              (  3  ) Fot to be great I never desire, Mv heart it if fixed never to love more.

Then said the father, it is my resolution, Although I have no more daughters but thee, If that with him you are for to marry, Banish'd from me you ever shall be,

Well ! cruel father but still this desire Grant me, tint Jamie once more I may see, Though you do part us I still will be loyal, For none in the world I admire but he.

For the young he said in a passion, Crying, for ever now sir take your leave. I have a match more fit for my daughter, Therefore it is qut folly to grieve,

Honoured father then said the young lady, Promis’d we are by the powers above, Why of all comforts will yon bereave me, But love is fixed never to remove.

Then said her father a trip to the ocean, You first shall go in a ship of our own, And I will consent that you shall have my daughter, When to Yarmouth again you return.

Honouerd sir, faid the two lovers, Since it is your will we are bound to obey, Our constant hearts can never be parted, But our eager desires some longer must stay.

Then beautifull Nancy, she said dearest Jamie, Here take this ring in pledge of our vows, As for my heart keep it in your bosom, Carry it with you wherever you go.

Then in his arms he closs did infold her, While chrystal tears like a fountain did flow, Crying, my heart in return I do give you, And you shall be present wherever I go.
