Classic Poem

To all those worthy Women, who have any desire to live in Newfound-Land, specially to the modest & discreet Gentlewoman Mistris Mason, wife to Captaine Mason, who lived there diverse yeeres .

Sweet Creatures , did you truely understand
The pleasant life you'd live in Newfound-land ,
You would with teares desire to be brought thither:
I wish you, when you goe, faire wind, faire weather:
For if you with the passage can dispence
When you are there, I know you'll ne'r come thence.
