george frideric handel - the sailor's complaint lyrics

come and listen to my ditty
all ye jolly hearts of gold;
lend a brother tar your pity
who was once so stout and bold
but the arrows of cupid
alas! have made me rue;
sure, true love was ne’er so treated
as am i by scornful sue

when i landed first at dover
she appear’d a goddess bright;
from foreign parts i was just come over
and was struck with so fair a sight
on shore pretty sukey walked
near to where our frigate lay
and altho’ so near the landing
i, alas! was cast away

when first i hail’d my pretty creaturе
the delight of land and sea
no man еver saw a sweeter
i’d have kept her company;
i’d have fain made her my true love
for better, or for worse;
but alas! i could not compass her
for to steer the marriage course
once, no greater joy and pleasure
cou’d have come into my mind
than to see the bold defiance
sailing right before the wind:
o’er the white waves as she danced
and her colours g_yly flew;
but that was not half so charming
as the trim of lovely sue

on a rocky coast i’ve driven
where the stormy winds do rise
where the rowling mountain billows
lift a vessel to the skies:
but from land, or from the ocean
little dread i ever knew
when compared to the dangers
in the frowns of scornful sue

long i wonder’d why my jewel
had the heart to use me so;
till i found by often sounding
she’d another love in tow:
so farewel hard hearted sukey
i’ll my fortune seek at sea
and try in a more friendly latitude
since i in yours cannot be
