waters and fly away from their destructive persuers; we have a grait
many many amusing games on board of ship, such as cardes, dyce, Chace,
Backgambing, pusilbroads, Reding all sorts of books +c +c, yet all these wont
Keep us from wearing very much to arive at the Land who lie far in our
front, the Land of our Nativity. The Lands where loving hearts dwell
and longs for our apperence,

==Verses Composed on Board of Ship
On her going from [[India]] to [[England]]==

While my sprightly Bark is ploughing
The wild Osian deep and wide
Eve, and morning, s skies I'm viewing
As the lovely [Drake?] I glide

[[India]] with your glossy splendour
I most leave you far behind
And thy hearts thats true and tender
My relations for to find

Shortly I'll have to assemble
With the Gentle and the fare
All that yet, would not resemble
Pleasures I've spent with you there

Who can tell, the Changes times made
Both in person, and in mind
Love and beauty no doubt has flade
Since I left them afar behind

Yet I'll view yon Flowerie Vallies
And Patrialls close bedside the sea
Where I've [illegible?] the tender Lillies
Or work who then delighted Me

[[India]] with you groves + vinyards
Once so dearly loved by me
You shall alwies have my regards
Yet for eay farewell to thee
