Take care, good Charon! Charon, have a care!
(Getting into the boat.)
Come, Xanthias, come!
Charon.I take no slaves aboard,
Except they’ve volunteer’d for the naval victory.
Xanthias.I could not; I was suffering with sore eyes.
Charon.Off with you, round by the end of the lake.
Xanthias.And whereabouts shall I wait?
Charon.At the Stone of Repentance,
By the Slough of Despond, beyond the Tribulations.
