| First Lines | CEase my pretty Nancy do not thou bewail, / though I here must bid thee now adieu; |
| Refrain | Therefore take thy pleasure, treasure I will bring, / When I do return to thee at Spring; / And wherefoe're I come thy praises I will sing, / As a Pledge with thee i'le leave my Ring. {stanzas 1,3,5,7}; When my dearest Jewel cruel Seas do roar, / Then thy absence I shall much deplore, / And wishing thee ten thousand times on shore, / Fearing I shall never see thee more. [stanzas 2,4,6,8; with variations] |
