Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Origin and Progress of a Noble Family in the West of England: And the Flower of Eydon, Poems This blooming youth an uncle had, Who was a sailor bold; And he died in a foreign land, Possess´d with stores of gold. Landing on Carolina´s shore, A lady did him see; When him she spied, aloud she cried, "That sailor´s form´d for me." This uncle being a comely man, And every way complete; Soon as she fix´d her eyes on him, He did her captivate. As she reveal´d her mind to him, She cried Young sailor bold, If you consent to marry me, You wed great stores of gold." "Lady," said he, "I love you well, But I´m in duty bound; My captain I would not desert, Though for a thousand pound." She straightway to his captain goes, And purchas´d his discharge; "And now she cries, "young sailor bold, Here do you stand at large. But still an exile you remain In Carolina´s land; The chain I´ll hang about your neck, Is called hymen´s band." In sweet conjugal love they lived, And year roll dafter year; But they no offspring did produce, These blessings rich to share. And when this lady was deceased, To England´s shores he came; And now possess´d with stores of gold, Pass´d as a man of fame. Unto his native vale he hied, Which he long wish´d to see; But first he did disguise himself, And went in beggary.
