To hoar hor sad news, then her eyes they did flow
He said, NoblelLvJy, since no'v it is so,
There’s none here can help if, ,do not troubled be,
For you in short space y-ur dees parents shad see.
And when that they cams to the desired port,
’ The Princess-cams weeping to her father's court; |j
TTho gladly receiv’d her with joy and great mirth, u
Say’ng, Where is the man that freed you from death:|(|
The Captain replied, As he lay asleep,
Pic fell overboard, and was drown’d in the deep;
Your Grace said, He that your child home did bring,
Should have her; I hope you’ll perform this thing.
Yes, that was nay promise, the Monarch replied;
What say’st thou, rr.y Jaughtei ? wilt then be his bride?
She said, Yes, dear father, but first if you please,
For him that sav’d my life, I’d mourn forty day*.
Then into close mourn! ■ g this Lady she went,
For the loss of her good friend, in tears to lament;
And there I will leave her in tears for a while,
And turn to the Factor who was left on the Isle,
PARI’ IV.
In this desert Island the Factor he lay,
In Hoods of tears weeping two nights and a day;
At length the ocean appear’d to bis.view,
A little okl man paddling in a canoe.
The Factor call’d to him, who caus’d him to stay,
And drawing near to him, the old man he did say.
How caudit thou hither? With eyes that did flow,
He told him .the secret, and where he would go.
The old man said to him, If here thou dost lie,
With grief and great hunger in short thou wilt die.
What wilt rhou give tne, to that court I’ll thee guide?
I have nothing to give you, the Factor replied.
