great_a wonder_n and_o amazement_n and_o not_o unlike_o a_o paradox_n when_o i_o consider_v how_o all_o sort_n of_o workman_n and_o mercenary_a people_n rise_v up_o early_o and_o labour_v hard_o all_o 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 what_o sign_n of_o joy_n with_o what_o shout_n and_o acclamation_n they_o behold_v the_o shore_n though_o at_o a_o distance_n how_o traveller_n despise_v the_o allurement_n of_o life_n think_v 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

a_o safe_a haven_n after_o so_o dangerous_a a_o journey_n and_o instead_o of_o such_o troublesome_a inn_n to_o lodge_v we_o safe_o in_o our_o own_o house_n instead_o of_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v thereat_o instead_o of_o a_o swan-like_o song_n we_o be_v more_o willing_a if_o the_o fate_n will_v allow_v it_o to_o repeat_v our_o former_a labour_n reiterate_v our_o former_a voyage_n and_o once_o more_o trust_v ourselves_o to_o the_o tumultuous_a and_o tempestuous_a sea_n of_o this_o world_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o forget_v all_o our_o former_a misery_n all_o our_o shipwreck_n and_o all_o
