| Voyage to Virginia: / OR, / The Valiant Souldiers Farewel to his Love; / Unto Virginia he's resolv'd to go, / She begs of him, that he would not do so; / But her intreaties they are all in vain, / For he must Plow the curled Ocean Main; / At length (with sorrow) he doth take his leave, / And leaves his dearest Love at home to grieve. | |
