the_o day_n in_o hope_n to_o enjoy_v their_o desire_a rest_n at_o night_n how_o mariner_n tug_v at_o the_o oar_n with_o all_o their_o might_n that_o they_o may_v gain_v their_o port_n and_o with_o

nothing_o more_o pleasant_a than_o to_o attain_v their_o journey_n end_v only_o we_o who_o be_v engage_v in_o the_o labour_n and_o trouble_n of_o this_o world_n be_v soon_o tire_v therewith_o and_o
