which_o they_o say_v also_o be_v against_o the_o rule_n of_o poetry_n because_o neither_o homer_n nor_o virgil_n do_v it_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a defence_n to_o say_v ariosto_n do_v it_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v both_o delightful_a and_o very_a profitable_a and_o a_o excellent_a breathe_a place_n for_o the_o reader_n and_o even_o as_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o a_o fair_a long_a
