mulier_fw-la be_v now_o the_o pure_a and_o true_a latin_a thus_o my_o dear_a mistress_n you_o have_v the_o new_a news_n of_o the_o season_n which_o i_o write_v rather_o to_o keep_v you_o in_o your_o old_a way_n of_o virtue_n then_o to_o lose_v yourself_o in_o the_o folly_n of_o imitation_n i_o know_v your_o goodness_n and_o how_o true_a a_o rewarder_n it_o be_v of_o its_o own_o merit_n rely_v
