Now was their sorrow turned to joy,245
And faithfull lovers had now their heart's desire:
Their paines so well they did imploy,
God granted that they did require.
And when they were to England come,
And in merry Bristow arrived at the last,250
Great joy there was to all and some
That heard the dangers they had past.
Her gentle master shee desired
To be her father, and at the church to give her then:
It was fulfilled as shee required,255
Unto the joy of all good men.
