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
