may_v give_v he_o more_o liberty_n scope_n and_o elbow-room_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o parent_n must_v be_v as_o wise_a as_o a_o serpent_n for_o the_o child_n be_v not_o so_o innocent_a as_o a_o dove_n it_o be_v the_o very_a masterpiece_n of_o a_o child_n cunning_a to_o deceive_v and_o hurt_v itself_o a_o parent_n then_o must_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o child_n but_o to_o his_o
