sententious_a harangue_n which_o we_o cite_v above_o he_o both_o delay_n and_o discontinue_v his_o action_n to_o give_v a_o tedious_a account_n of_o the_o very_a moral_a of_o that_o action_n if_o it_o can_v pretend_v to_o a_o moral_a but_o perhaps_o mr._n blackmore_n may_v say_v that_o to_o instruct_v by_o fable_n be_v not_o so_o christian_a as_o to_o instruct_v by_o precept_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o if_o he_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v begin_v to_o write_v a_o epic_a poem_n and_o second_o that_o the_o author_n and_o founder_n of_o our_o religion_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o parable_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n now_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o epic_a poetry_n proper_o instruct_v by_o action_n so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o true_a philosophy_n and_o the_o true_a religion_n can_v be_v only_o show_v by_o action_n if_o a_o poet_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o make_v his_o hero_n perfect_o virtuous_a he_o have_v free_a liberty_n to_o do_v so_o let_v he_o make_v he_o as_o much_o a_o philosopher_n and_o as_o much_o a_o christian_n as_o he_o please_v but_o let_v his_o philosophy_n and_o let_v his_o religion_n both_o appear_v by_o his_o action_n it_o be_v the_o king_n example_n that_o influence_n the_o people_n and_o not_o the_o word_n which_o he_o speak_v let_v he_o take_v care_n to_o make_v his_o people_n prosper_v out_o of_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o that_o in_o a_o monarch_n religion_n aeneas_n never_o be_v discover_v preach_v but_o he_o be_v always_o find_v to_o be_v the_o same_o always_o good-natured_a always_o pious_a always_o careful_a and_o anxious_a for_o his_o people_n now_o let_v we_o examine_v mr._n blackmore_n speculative_a hero_n and_o see_v how_o constant_a he_o be_v to_o himself_o we_o find_v prince_n arthur_n appear_v at_o first_o with_o three_o very_a commendable_a quality_n which_o be_v piety_n valour_n and_o a_o care_n and_o concern_v for_o his_o people_n so_o that_o the_o poet_n be_v now_o oblige_v to_o maintain_v these_o quality_n in_o his_o hero_n and_o to_o make_v he_o behave_v himself_o throughout_o the_o whole_a poem_n like_o a_o man_n that_o have_v piety_n and_o undaunted_a courage_n and_o the_o tendere_a concern_v for_o his_o people_n what_o will_v any_o one_o say_v now_o to_o see_v this_o very_a hero_n who_o in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o poem_n be_v so_o concern_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o subject_n that_o though_o they_o be_v but_o just_a escape_v from_o a_o storm_n in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v terrible_o tempest-beaten_a and_o be_v wet_a and_o cold_a and_o weary_a and_o hungry_a and_o spiritless_a yet_o do_v not_o suffer_v they_o so_o much_o as_o to_o refresh_v themselves_o before_o he_o instruct_v they_o what_o will_v any_o one_o say_v to_o see_v this_o prince_n neglect_v this_o people_n after_o the_o strange_a manner_n what_o will_v any_o one_o say_v to_o see_v this_o valiant_a and_o this_o pious_a king_n become_v as_o fearful_a as_o the_o mean_a and_o as_o impious_a as_o the_o most_o profligate_v of_o all_o his_o subject_n in_o the_o six_o book_n while_o the_o plague_n be_v rage_v in_o the_o british_a army_n arthur_z by_o devotion_n bring_v down_o the_o angel_n raphael_n who_o tell_v he_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o affliction_n in_o the_o follow_a verse_n the_o angelic_a guard_n return_v to_o heaven_n complain_v that_o your_o flagitious_a troop_n you_o never_o restrain_v your_o captain_n bold_o whoredom_n riot_n rape_n commit_v and_o yet_o each_o criminal_a escape_n thus_o you_o avow_v the_o ill_n by_o other_o do_v and_o their_o unpunished_a gild_n become_v your_o own_o and_o thus_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o poet_n be_v own_o angel_n the_o hero_n be_v neglectful_a of_o his_o people_n and_o impious_a but_o this_o be_v at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o six_o book_n let_v we_o now_o return_v to_o the_o first_o upon_o the_o return_n of_o the_o message_n which_o the_o ambassador_n of_o arthur_n bring_v back_o from_o hoel_n mr._n blackmore_n say_v that_o when_o arthur_n hear_v the_o message_n first_o his_o waver_a mind_n with_o fear_n and_o wise_a distrust_n and_o rise_a tide_n of_o sudden_a joy_n be_v toss_v uncertain_a which_o strong_a passion_n press_v he_o most_o but_o when_o he_o see_v the_o present_v hoel_n send_v his_o doubt_n suppress_v he_o grow_v more_o confident_a and_o his_o calm_a mind_n ease_v of_o his_o anxious_a care_n to_o embrace_v his_o new_a and_o generous_a friend_n prepare_v here_o for_o six_o line_n together_o the_o author_n take_v care_n to_o set_v before_o we_o the_o extraordinary_a fear_n of_o arthur_n indeed_o he_o seem_v to_o repent_v at_o last_o that_o he_o call_v it_o by_o its_o proper_a name_n and_o so_o that_o which_o be_v plain_a fear_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n be_v call_v doubt_n in_o the_o six_o and_o care_n in_o the_o seven_o which_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o custom_n of_o the_o modern_a italian_n they_o be_v very_o sensible_a how_o scandalous_a a_o passion_n fear_n be_v and_o therefore_o when_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o encourage_v any_o one_o who_o they_o respect_v they_o never_o cry_v do_v be_v afraid_a sir_n but_o quae_fw-la vossignoria_fw-la non_fw-la si_fw-la dubiti_fw-la de_fw-fr ment_fw-la do_v let_v your_o worship_n doubt_n thus_o we_o have_v see_v prince_n arthur_n fearful_a neglectful_a and_o impious_a the_o manner_n then_o of_o the_o hero_n be_v ill_o express_v because_o they_o be_v not_o maintain_v and_o they_o be_v unequal_a which_o be_v self-evident_a and_o they_o be_v inconvenient_a for_o neither_o be_v fear_n become_v of_o a_o captain_n nor_o impiety_n of_o one_o who_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o re-establish_a religion_n nor_o be_v neglect_v of_o his_o subject_n become_v of_o a_o good_a king_n but_o the_o impiety_n of_o the_o hero_n be_v not_o show_v only_o in_o the_o six_o book_n it_o be_v apparent_a from_o his_o very_a fear_n in_o the_o first_o for_o before_o he_o leave_v england_n the_o archangel_n gabriel_n have_v assure_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v triumph_v over_o octa_n at_o ten_o year_n end_n these_o be_v his_o word_n in_o the_o four_o book_n and_o the_o 115th_o

have_v observe_v above_o he_o appear_v exceed_o afraid_a of_o this_o very_a hoel_n now_o that_o person_n methinks_v must_v show_v a_o extraordinary_a inclination_n to_o fear_n who_o a_o angel_n from_o
