a_o potent_a vindication_n for_o book-making_a or_o a_o emblem_n of_o these_o distract_v time_n when_o night_n black_a mantle_n have_v exclude_v and_o fold_v up_o fair_a phoebus_n bright_a lustre_n in_o our_o horizon_n and_o expose_v the_o borrow_a splendour_n of_o horn_a cynthia_n and_o the_o twinkle_a taper_n to_o our_o view_n and_o when_o silent_a sleep_n have_v captivate_v the_o sense_n of_o many_o in_o the_o cradle_n of_o oblivion_n solitary_a morpheus_n present_v to_o my_o sight_n a_o pleasant_a forest_n where_o i_o be_v no_o soon_o enter_v but_o such_o a_o company_n of_o harmonious_a echo_n sound_v in_o my_o ear_n from_o the_o wing_a choir_n which_o so_o ravish_v my_o sense_n that_o i_o begin_v to_o imitate_v their_o heavenly_a tune_n and_o the_o first_o which_o most_o please_v i_o be_v the_o golden_a strain_n of_o the_o finch_n and_o after_o i_o have_v observe_v some_o of_o her_o ravish_a harmony_n i_o be_v delight_v with_o the_o melodious_a tune_n of_o the_o nightingale_n linnot_n and_o other_o bird_n of_o rare_a quality_n and_o can_v so_o follow_v their_o strain_n that_o the_o heavenly_a phoenix_n the_o aspire_a lark_n and_o other_o celestial_a bird_n take_v notice_n of_o my_o skill_n yet_o some_o angry_a wasp_n and_o malicious_a hornet_n begin_v to_o buzz_v about_o my_o ear_n and_o seek_v to_o sting_v but_o have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o hurt_v i_o and_o though_o the_o king_n of_o beast_n and_o other_o of_o good_a and_o gentle_a nature_n be_v delight_v with_o our_o harmonious_a noise_n and_o heavenly_a music_n yet_o the_o politic_a cat_n crafty_a fox_n and_o greedy_a wolf_n begin_v to_o grumble_v as_o envy_v my_o happiness_n and_o seem_v more_o malicious_a than_o the_o poisonous_a serpent_n and_o deaf_a adder_n that_o lie_v under_o my_o foot_n ready_a to_o sting_v i_o for_o they_o persuade_v the_o puissant_a lion_n and_o his_o grave_a counsellor_n that_o i_o be_v a_o a_o idle_a fellow_n to_o leave_v my_o employment_n at_o home_n and_o come_v learn_v to_o sing_v of_o bird_n abroad_o for_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v in_o the_o night_n when_o i_o have_v finish_v my_o work_n upon_o which_o report_n their_o king_n do_v choir_n forsake_v i_o and_o his_o faithful_a friend_n seem_v to_o be_v displease_v with_o i_o but_o i_o have_v a_o love_n in_o my_o work_n will_v not_o leave_v off_o till_o i_o become_v a_o perfect_a quirrester_n and_o then_o with_o morphous_n i_o lay_v i_o down_o in_o bed_n and_o sweet_o sleep_v till_o aurora_n withdraw_v night_n sable_a curtain_n and_o begin_v to_o usher_v in_o the_o light_a some_o day_n and_o then_o i_o understand_v the_o meaning_n thereof_o to_o be_v thus_o when_o the_o night_n of_o ignorance_n and_o self-conceit_n have_v exclude_v from_o my_o understanding_n the_o splendour_n of_o many_o learned_a famous_a writer_n i_o have_v receive_v into_o my_o soul_n divers_a good_a motion_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n intimate_v by_o the_o god_n of_o
