only_o of_o their_o feign_a god_n but_o of_o their_o feign_a fight_v and_o of_o their_o feign_a fortune_n or_o success_n the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n romance_n contain_v more_o lie_n than_o truth_n more_o impossibility_n than_o probability_n for_o though_o feign_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o poetry_n yet_o methinks_v such_o kind_n of_o poetry_n shall_v not_o have_v such_o kind_n of_o feign_n for_o to_o reason_n it_o can_v neither_o be_v pleasant_a nor_o profitable_a for_o reason_n take_v delight_n in_o probability_n not_o in_o impossibility_n for_o though_o
