A Farewell to his worthy Friend, Mr John Curling upon his Voyage to the Indies.
If I were more enamor'd with thy sightThan with thy safety, I should much invite
Thy stay in England, and dissuade thee from
Those motives which divert thy feet from home,
But since I see the sullen Wars increase,
And sad Destruction mortifie our Peace,
I do applaud thy Providence, and pray
That thy Negotiations Night and Day
May prove propitious, thou I hope, wilt finde,
Though amongst Heathen, Spirits more inclin'd
Usurp the name of Christians, May the cleer
Beams of divine Protection ever dwell
In all the Good you can attempt, Farewell.
