The Seamen and Souldiers last / Farewel to their Dearest Jewels. / He must be gone the Fates have so decreed, / To serve his King and Country in their need / In fight against the French upon the Main, / Yet he's in hopes to see his love again: / He chears her up,and bids she should not mourn, / But wait with patience for his safe return.
