〈…〉 sweetest Margery, AND  

Margery her singing loath to departed,  
Being very unwilling to leave her sweetheart.   
To the tune of, I'll go through the World with thee.  
 
 Man? 
SWeet Margery I am pressed to the Sea,  
with Gold and Silver in my hand:  
I come to take my leave of thee,  
and bid adieu to fair England.  Maid. 
But wilt thou be gone my Honey sweet,  
and must I lose thy Company,  
Me thinks for thee it is not meet,  
to leave thy dearest Margery.  Man. 
Sweet Margery I must needs be gone,  
alas there is no remedy:  
But be I in company or alone,  
I'll never forget my Margery.  Maid. 
I would thou couldst thy Voyage excuse,  
for I am loath to part from thee.  
When thy sweet presence I do lose;  
I shall be a sorrowful Margery.  Man. 
I prithee be not grieved so,  
but take my absence patiently,  
For wheresoever I come or go,  
my heart remains with Margery.  Maid. 
A Bird in the hand's worth 2 in the bush,  
and when thou once art gone from me:  
I doubt thou wilt not care a rush,  
what doth become of thy Margery.  Man. 
I prithee don't conjecture thus,  
nor question my true constancy,  
The Gordian Knot which tieth us;  
I'll never break from my Margery.  Maid. 
Well, if I thought thou wouldst prove true,  
and bear a faithful heart to me:  
To Sorrows I would bid adieu,  
as thou tak'st leave of thy Margery.  Man. 
Do not misdoubt my love at all,  
nor vex thy head with jealousy,  
What chance soever doth befall,  
i'll never forsake my Margery.  Maid. 
Excuse if I judged wrong,  
it is my tender love to thee,  
Lest when thou hast been absent long,  
thou might forget thy Margery,  Man. 
That can I never for my life,  
for I am thine until I die:  
And if I ever do marry a wife,  
it shall be my sweet Margery.  Maid, 
I prithee do that before we part,  
that joyful day might I but see,  
IT would set all sorrows from my heart,  
and none so blithe as Margery.  
 
 Man. 
BE not so hasty rather stay,  
for at this time it cannot be,  
I must aboard this present day,  
and leave my sweetest Margery.  Maid. 
Then take front me a parting-kisse,  
this point about thine arms I'll tie.  
And when thou look'st upon thy wrist.  
then think upon thy Margery,  Man. 
This point I will esteem more dear,  
than all the jewels I shall see:  
Pluck up thy heart and be of good cheer,  
till I return to my Margery.  Maid. 
When you do walk in the Spanish street,  
and many Gallants pass you by,  
Your Chamber decks and Music sweet,  
than you'll for get your Margery.  Man. 
I prithee harp not on that string,  
these words doth touch my heart full nigh.  
For I esteem no worldly thing,  
so much as I do sweet Margery,  Maid. 
Sweet-Love forgive that word unkind,  
'twas spoke thy patience but to try,  
For I am persuaded in my mind,  
thou lov'st no Lass but Margery.  Man. 
I have seven Ships upon the Sea,  
and all are laden to the brim,  
I am so inflamed with Love of thee,  
I care not whether they sink or swim.  Maid. 
Henceforth i'll ne'er mistrust thee more.  
nor question thy true Loyalty,  
Where ever thou art on Sea or Shore,  
thou'lt think upon thy Margery.  Man▪ 
If any Knight or Gentleman,  
do pass though Seas to my Country,  
I'll write a Letter with mine own hand,  
and send it safe to Margery.  Maid. 
O, how I shall that Letter kiss.  
so soon as ever I it spy,  
It would present a world of bliss.  
unto thy loving Margery.  Man. 
Margery i'll a gallant prove,  
and for thy sake my valour try,  
Though all my kin seek to remove,  
my thoughts from my sweet Margery.  Maid. 
If I had wished before I had kissed,  
that love had been so dear to win,  
My heart I would, have closed in gold,  
and pined it with a silver pin.  Man. 
The time sweet Margery calls a way,  
I now must leave thy company:  
For time and tide for none will stay.  
once more farewell sweet Margery.  maid. 
Once more I'll kiss thy sugured lips,  
and take thy absents patiently:  
Heaven prosper thee and thy seven Ships.  
and send thee safe to Margery.  
Finis.
