to_o speak_v of_o the_o cause_n concomitant_a there_o be_v three_o thing_n concur_v in_o aid_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o tarquin_n first_o the_o ravish_a of_o lucretia_n sufficient_a

set_v a_o blot_n of_o ignominy_n upon_o marcus_n brutus_n and_o make_v he_o hateful_a to_o all_o the_o people_n and_o where_o the_o commons_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o

of_o taxation_n and_o a_o maintain_v they_o in_o plenty_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v taste_v the_o benefit_n of_o liberty_n second_o they_o put_v to_o death_n those_o nobleman_n that_o have_v be_v
