Contents

Far from home and all its pleasures -- The mid day sun was bright on high -- Dear Liberty -- My life, my only treasure -- Oh, yes dear love, so tenderly -- Oh the accents of love -- Loud let the Moorish tambour sound -- Oh, be some signal vengeance found -- Here like the gem that ocean hides -- Search the ground, he must be near -- Not more sweet the water gushing -- Say have you loved? -- Yes, tis deemed thou lovely fair -- Softly, softly, lest the sound -- In Tunis fair city -- Traitor prepare to meet thy doom -- The bolt has burst -- Hold, hold, 'ere you put to sea.
