aequa_fw-la potestas_fw-la there_o be_v one_o point_n of_o disparity_n between_o they_o in_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o which_o i_o will_v glad_o be_v satisfy_v and_o that_o be_v why_o poetry_n and_o

these_o be_v the_o reverse_n of_o a_o m●cenas_n they_o have_v have_v his_o riches_n but_o soul_n below_o a_o plebeian_n they_o look_v upon_o a_o poet_n or_o poor_a scholar_n with_o a_o present_a or_o
