Since to my jewel,
My friends are cruel,
I grieve alone with a heavy heart,
And fickle fortune
Which is uncertain,
Through which my jewel and I did part.
No man shall ever
Obtain my favour,
My heart is loyal and sincere,
Till death destroy me,
None shall enjoy me,
Except my jolly sailor dear.
THE ANSWER.
YOU'RE welcome to me,
From the stormy sea,
I'm glad to see you home again,
I hope kind fortune,
Sent you promotion,
Whilst you were ploughing the raging main.
My friends were cruel
To you my jewel,
Which cost me many a silent tear,
It is for your sake,
My dear heart did take,
That day you parted from your Molly dear.
