Good Night and God be with you all
Or the
Neighbours Farewel
To his FRIENDS.
|
NOw come is my departing time,
|
And here I may no longer stay,
|
There is no kind Comerade of mine,
|
But will desire I were away,
|
But if that time will me permit,
|
Which from your Company doth call,
|
And me inforceth for to flit,
|
Good Night and God be with you all.
|
For here I grant some time I spent
|
In loving kind good Company,
|
For all Offences I repent,
|
And wisheth now forgiven to be,
|
What I have done for want of wit
|
To Memory Ile not recall:
|
I hope ye are my Friends as yet,
|
Good Night and God be with you all.
|
Complementing I never lovd,
|
Not Talkative much for to be,
|
And of Speeches a multitude,
|
Becomes no Man of Quality.
|
From Faith, Love, Peace and Unity,
|
I wish none of us never fail,
|
God grant us all Prosperity,
|
Good Night and God be with you all.
|
I wish that I might longer stay,
|
To enjoy your Society?
|
The Lord to Bless you night and day,
|
And still to be in your Company,
|
No Vice nor iniquity,
|
God grant none of you ever fail.
|
Gods Blessing keep both you and me:
|
Good Night and God be with you all.
|
Most Loving Friend, God be thy guide,
|
And never leave thy Company,
|
And all things needful thee provide,
|
And give thee all Prosperity;
|
We rather had thy Company,
|
If thou wouldst have stayd us among,
|
We wish thee much Felicity.
|
God grant that nothing do thee wrong.
