( 6 )

And if she would return
to her father's bright hall,
She might live in great splendour,
but that she ne'er shall:

But says that she'll wander
till death end the strife,
In lamenting her Shepherd,
that she was not his wife:
And thro' many strange countries
with her flock loves to go,
For to show cruel parents,
what true love can do.

THE TURISH LADY.

Young virgins all I pray draw near,
A pretty story you shall hear,
It's of a Turkish Lady brave,
Who fell in love with an English slave:
A merchant ship that in Bristol lay,
In which we sailed from that bay,
By a Turkish rover o'ertook were we,
And all of us made slaves to be.
