A68419	Siuqila too good, to be true : omen : though so at a vewe yet all I tolde you is true, I vpholde you, now cease to aske why? for I can not lye : herein is shewed by way of dialogue, the wonderful maners of the people of Mauqsun, with other talke not friuolous.

a_o ingrate_a mariner_n which_o climb_v up_o to_o the_o top_n of_o a_o ship_n slip_v sudden_o down_o when_o if_o god_n have_v not_o guide_v he_o be_v as_o like_a to_o have_v fall_v into_o the_o sea_n
