 This Lady to her chamber went, To give her grief and sorrow vent: Little Cupid with his piercing dart, Did deeply wound this Lady's heart She was resolved the next day To ease him of his slavery, And own herself to be his wife, For she did love him as her life.

She drest herself in rich array, And with this young man sail'd Until they came to Bristol shore, With jewels, diamonds, and rich store Houses and lands she left behind, And all her slaves who were confin'd; Unto her parents she bid adieu: By this you see what love can do.

Now she is turn'd a Christian brave, And married to her own slave, Who was in chains and bondage too: By this you see what love can do.
