                    And the world it doth smile upon me,<lb/>
                    Each one with kind looks welcomes me from the main,<lb/>
                    But I from them all will be free.</emph><lb/></p>

                    What a different aspect I find,<lb/>
                    Their smiles and their gratitude that they do shew,<lb/>
                    I look on't as changing as wind.</emph><lb/></p>

                    But each shipmate shall freely partake,<lb/>
                    I now bid farewel to <placeName>France</placeName> and proud <placeName>Spain</placeName>,<lb/>

                    And contented I'll rest, when I've made her my wife,<lb/>
                    Where nothing is wanting but health.</emph><lb/></p>
