the_o observer_n perhaps_o his_o tongue_n be_v hang_v with_o the_o wrong_a side_n upward_o these_o ut_fw-la and_o re_fw-mi though_o some_o have_v lay_v they_o aside_o yet_o some_o say_v he_o have_v

which_o those_o powerful_a word_n be_v place_v concern_v which_o i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o best_a account_n i_o can_v find_v that_o because_o it_o will_v be_v too_o distract_n to_o the_o eye_n

since_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o music_n to_o have_v a_o circular_a as_o well_o as_o progressive_a motion_n which_o former_a do_v so_o influence_n all_o composition_n that_o it_o be_v
