PART II.

How Elizabeth, in Men's Aparel, enter'd
her self on board a Ship of her own Name.

       To the same Tune.

OH! this said inhumane Action,    (This stanza not in Garnet)
caused many weeping Eyes
The young maid was in Distraction,
so was her dear Friends likewise,
All was in a Consternation,
and was much dissatisfy'd.
That they forc'd him from the Nation,
and his fair elected bride.

The young damosel heavy hearted,    This young.......
put her self in Man's array,       Drest herself......
Since her love and she was parted, ......and her were parted,
bath'd in Tears without delay,
(page 6)      
She resolv'd to follow after,       She resolves.....
try her fortune on the main         And try.......
And would feed on bread and water,
'till she see his face again,       Till she saw his......

Life and fortune would she venture ........she would venture,
to appease her heavy Wrong          To escape her heavy rongs,
then on board she soon did enter,   Where on .........
by the Name of Richard Strong,
With a pleasant look she smiled,
when into the ship she came,
the which then was truely stiled,   Which was truly then assiled,
the Elizabeth by Name.

For the sake of her dear Willy      ..................dear Billy
She resolves to travel far.         ................travel saa,(sic)
Her Hands once like the fair Lilly With her Hands like .....Lily,
are besmear'd with Pitch and tar.   All besmear'd...............
All the Charms of youth and beauty, Oh! the .................
they are unregarded quite,
While she does perform the Duty,    Soon she .................
of a Sailor Day and Night,

There was few more stout and bolder .................or bolder
then this Damosel in disguise,      ..............damsel......
with her Musket on her Shoulder,   
Sword, or Bayonet likewise,         Sword and Byonet be her side,
On the watch she was expected,      ...............was suspected,
where she manfully did stand,       When she.............
She her duty ne'er neglected,       And her................
but was ever at command.            She was always at Command.

Furling sails, an Anchors weighing, Rowling Seas and Anchors heaving,
without her was seldom done,      
In her there was no delaying,       ....................no denial,
to the Top-mast Head she run,       To the Tom-mast end she'd run,
(page 7)
When the surly Wids was blowing    ......cruel Winds were blowing,
To assist them she was there,
All the Sailors little knowing,
That she was a Maiden fair,         

For a Season she remained          Whole Seasons she ........
undiscover'd by the Crew.
'Till at length the Steward feigned. Till the Steward he perceived,
she was of a dirty hue             That she was of lovely view,
Then he made a fearful Racket,      Where they made a fearfull r...
at her Shirt above the rest,       At her Waist above.........
He unbutton'd straight her Jacket, They.......................
where appeard her snowy breast      Where appear'd..........

With a further confirmation.       Without further Consternation,
she was to the Captain brought,    ...............Capt, .....
Where with tears of Lamentation,    Bath'd in tears of lamentation,
she his honour's Pardon sought,    His disionour'd Pardon sought'
Making there a full Confession,   
how the Fates had prov'd unkind,
Leaving all to his Discretion,   
to appease her Love-sick Mind.
