Old English Rescue

Old English Rescue My dearest love, my glory The bearer of this note Is but a trusted servant Can read not what I wrote But knows how much I love thee And how on thee I dote Tis folly you should think of me A rouge and treacherous man I pledge eternal love to thee And I’ve a rescue plan Thy father and thy brother Pledge their full support I sail with the morning tide To thy prison port The minions of my father Care naught of what I do For they too know of true love And support my love of you Clothe thee thus in black On the morrow’s moonless night The tower’s door will be unlocked Thy guards not in thy sight My servant then will guide thee To our rendezvous We’ll sail before the morning light Together, just we two Henceforth know my dearest My prayers and thoughts are thine And though it be a fortnight Thy future lies with mine Mdailey 3/5/12
