The true lovers joy, or, A dialogue between a seaman and his love : The maid implores the aid of Charon's boat, that to the gloomy shades her soul might float, with sighs and groans, much weary and opprest, at last he heard her moan, and gave her rest, from all past dangers, and from future harms, she safe arriv'd and anchor'd in his arms / To a new tune much in request.
