Susan , I this Letter send thee , let not Sighs and Tears attend thee ; we are on the Coast of France , taking prizes from those Nizeys , my sweet Iewel to advance . Since we London have forsaken , Five Rich Prizes have we taken ; two of them Nantz Brandy Wine , Chests of Money , my sweet Honey , with rich Silks and Sartin fine . The first Merchants Ship we Boarded , 〈◊〉 great store of Wealth afforded , 〈…〉 on most eagerly ; 〈…〉 Plunder , burst in sunder , 〈…〉 and Cabins fly . Where the Treasure was inclosed , We wan't in the least opposed ; rich Embroidered Silks we found , Other Treasure , out of Measure , worth near seven thousand pound . Fortune she did still befriend us , And another Booty send us ; twice the worth of that before , Though we gain'd it , and obtain'd it , yet our Guns was forc'd to Roar .

While we did both Charge and Fire , They endeavour to retire ; but the Contest was not long E'er we enter'd , bravely ventur'd , yet received but little wrong . Love , we 'll plunder French and Tory For to raise great Britains Glory , and to pull proud Lewis down ; Each great spirit then will merit , double honour and renown . Dearest , when I first did leave thee , Parting with thy Love did grieve thee , But I vow'd I 'd Letters send , To improve thee , for I love thee , as a true intire Friend . Love this Promise is not broken , Here I have sent thee a Token , A rich Chain and Diamond Ring , And ten times more I have in store , which I to thee in time will bring . Like a Lady thou shalt flourish , Thy poor drooping heart I 'll nourish , and thy former Ioys restore ; Gold and Treasure , Love and Pleasure if I live to come on shore . Love , the world shall now admire , When they see thy rich attire , like a youthful Lady Gay ; I declare it , thou shalt wear it , yet proud France for it shall pay . Dearest , though we now do sever , Yet I will be thine for ever ; I prefer no one beside , E'er before thee , I adore thee , none but Death shall us divide .
