The True Lovers Joy OR A Dialogue between a Seaman and his Love The Maid implores the aid of Charons 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 Maid HArk Charon come away bring forth thy Boat and Oars And carry me poor harmless Maid unto the Elizium Shoars Charon Who Charon calls in hast whilst I sit here in pain I carry none but pure and chast such as true Love hath slain I am come dear soul I come thy Face doth so incharm me Come in my Boat and take thy room no wind nor wave shall harm thee Maid Now I am come in thy Boat I am a Maid undone Sighing my heart is almost broke for my Love he is from me gone Thus as I pass the shades I 'le tell you a mouruful tale So full of Sighs as we do pass shall serve us for a gale And so beguil'd the time I 'le sing you a true Loves Song Mine eyes shall flow a Sea of tears to carry the Boat along OH what 's become of those hard hearts of a Virgin takes no pitty They 'r sailing to Virginia parts where Neptune hat built a City O Cupid hath wounded me and hath pierc'd my tender heart To call for one whom I lov'd so dear who cares but little for 't Thus in the shades below we 'l waste the tedious hours No gust of winds but sights shall blow the Boat with Charons Oars His Answer Stay gentle Charon stay and let thy Boat alone Row not the harmless Maid away that 's sits and makes her moan For she that calls so fast and sights so at thy stay A Virgin is as pure and chast as e'ce true Love did stay She 's no dear soul for thee let not her face incharm thee Though room within thy Boat there be her beauty there may harm thee O fair one if you go i 'me more undone than you My heart doth equal sorrow know and still my Love is true The shades you must not pass nor mournful stories tell Instead of sighing gales alas a kiss will do as well You 'd better stay a shore and sing us a true Loves Song It is enough we need no more to carry his Boat along No heart so hard I know but would gladly ease your pain Else heart let him to Virginia go and never return again If Cupid hath wounded you he had wounded me before If you love as you say you do I love you as much or more In Beds of softest Down wee 'l spend the short liv'd nights No gust of Wind or sight shall drown the current of our delights Maid Come gentle Charon come and me to shoar remove The wind dispairing sight did blow shall waft me unto Love How slow the Boats-man stears if he no faster ply My Love to rid me of my fears shall lend me his wings to flye To thee dear Love I float finding thee just and true And bid to Charon and his Boat eternally adieu Make haste make hast my Dear for if thou longer stay Thorough the floods without all fears my Arms shall make their way Welcome my Love to shoar I 'le keep thee from all harms And thou shalt ride for evermore at Anchor in my arms Printed for P.
