To Amorea from Prison.

1

Come away and blesse the Grate,
With thy all commanding eye,
Come away,
Doe not stay,
We have couquered our fate
By a suffering Loyalty.
We know how to captivate,
Chain, and bind captivitie.

2

Come my dearest come and see
What it is to have a mind
Nobly born,
That can scorn,
And disdain a Tyrannie,
Though the Fates do prove unkind
And deny us libertie,
Freedome in our chains we find.

3

Come away unto the place,
Where the Royal slaves do dwell,
Stay a while,
Send a smile
From that ever blessed face,
See, and hear, then go and tell,
That our Shackles are a grace,
And an honour so farewell.
