the_o head_n have_v better_a mean_n to_o express_v the_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o the_o heart_n both_o by_o mourning_n with_o the_o voice_n and_o by_o weep_v with_o the_o eye_n and_o thus_o i_o

slaughter_n of_o the_o people_n that_o i_o may_v weep_v day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o daughter_n of_o my_o people_n his_o mourning_n he_o set_v down_o in_o most_o pathetical_a

moisture_n that_o must_v be_v resolve_v into_o tear_n the_o prophet_n therefore_o frame_v &_o compose_v himself_o to_o weep_v and_o in_o weep_v to_o exceed_v measure_n &_o to_o pass_v moderation_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v interrupt_v in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o weep_v for_o want_n of_o matter_n to_o ministet_fw-la supply_v of_o tear_n he_o first_o wish_v that_o his_o head_n be_v full_a
