Then he took sipping, and away he went,
And left poor Polly, and left poor Polly
In tears to lament.
MOLLY'S ANSWER to her SAILOR.
Now Fortune's prov'd to him most kind.
Sent him a fair and prosp'rous wind,
Has sent him safe from the Spanish shore,
And to his charmer, and to his charmer,
Whom he did adore.
Your welcome home my jewel from sea.
For many nights I've dream'd of thee:
For when you're sailing to the Spanish shore,
I never thought love, I never thought love,
To see thee more.
Now they are married as we do hear,
In peace and plenty living there:
He proves loyal, and she proves kind.
Unto his charmer, unto his charmer,
He left behind.
The OLD MAN'S ADVICE to his SON.
COME hither my dutiful son,
and take this good counsel of me;
All folly endeavour to shun,
that prosperous you may be
In all the affairs of your life,
and that you to riches may rise;
And also in chusing a wife
it is good to be merry and wise.
