in_o the_o first_o he_o may_v lead_v with_o what_o before_o leg_n you_o please_v but_o in_o the_o second_o or_o circle_n he_o be_v confine_v to_o lead_v alwise_o with_o his_o fore_a leg_n within_o

for_o it_o be_v just_a in_o this_o case_n with_o a_o horse_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ordinary_a excrcise_n with_o a_o right_n and_o left_a hand_a man_n custom_n very_o much_o prevail_v both_o over_o man_n
