[This World is a Galley fraighted]

This World is a Galley fraighted
With mis-haps (or Haps mis-treated)
Sliding on a sea of Care.
Tears and Fears her Sailers are:
Will, her Pilot (still at Stern, all):
Strong Desires, her Windes (for most):
Bitter-sweet, her Course and Coast:
And her Hav'n is Death eternall.
