The Captain’s Lady

O MOUNT and go,
Mount and make you ready,
O mount and go,
And be the Captain's Lady.

When the drums do beat,
And the cannons rattle,
Thou shalt sit in state,
And see thy love in battle.
Chos. O mount and go &c.

When the vanquish'd foe
Sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we'll go,
And in love enjoy it.
Chos. O Mount &c.
