and_o that_o of_o the_o word_n satyrus_n they_o have_v make_v satyra_n and_o that_o these_o satyr_n have_v a_o great_a affinity_n with_o the_o satyric_a piece_n of_o the_o greek_n which_o be_v

sometime_o you_o find_v some_o parodia_n you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o poet_n do_v not_o design_n to_o affect_v it_o and_o by_o consequence_n the_o parodia_n do_v not_o make_v the_o essence_n of_o a_o satyr_n as_o they_o do_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o silli_n have_v explain_v the_o nature_n origin_n and_o progress_n of_o satyr_n i_o will_v now_o say_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o horace_n in_o particular_a there_o can_v be_v a_o more_o just_a idea_n give_v of_o this_o part_n of_o his_o work_n than_o in_o compare_v they_o to_o the_o statue_n of_o the_o sileni_fw-la to_o which_o alcibiades_n in_o the_o banquet_n compare_v socrates_n they_o be_v figure_n that_o without_o have_v nothing_o agreeable_a or_o beautiful_a but_o when_o you_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o open_v they_o you_o find_v the_o figure_n of_o all_o the_o go_n in_o the_o manner_n that_o horace_n present_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o his_o satyr_n we_o discover_v nothing_o of_o he_o at_o first_o that_o deserve_v our_o attachment_n he_o seem_v to_o be_v fit_a to_o amuse_v child_n than_o to_o employ_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n but_o when_o we_o remove_v that_o which_o hide_v he_o from_o our_o eye_n and_o
