divine_o bewail_v and_o lament_v the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n i_o will_v now_o only_o in_o place_n of_o many_o recite_v the_o witness_n of_o one_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o memory_n which_o thus_o say_v how_o wretched_a a_o thread_n of_o life_n have_v the_o god_n spin_v to_o mortal_a man_n that_o in_o this_o race_n of_o life_n do_v run_v and_o again_o of_o all_o that_o in_o the_o earth_n be_v

yet_o can_v he_o not_o reach_v to_o his_o elder_a year_n what_o think_v thou_o of_o he_o that_o teach_v the_o child_n to_o cry_v when_o first_o the_o sun_n bright_a day_n he_o see_v with_o tender_a

their_o bare_a estate_n &_o fill_v their_o nightwatching_n with_o sorrow_n and_o tear_n let_v we_o else_o suruew_v the_o life_n of_o mariner_n and_o seafaring_a man_n which_o make_v a_o hole_n through_o so_o many_o danger_n &_o which_o as_o bias_n say_v be_v neither_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o live_n nor_o yet_o of_o the_o dead_a for_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o abide_v upon_o the_o

withstand_v they_o you_o and_o triptolemus_n of_o thirty_o thousand_o man_n which_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o assembly_n axiochus_n it_o be_v as_o thou_o say_v socrates_n and_o since_o that_o time_n i_o have_v refrain_v myself_o from_o the_o stage_n neither_o have_v any_o thing_n ever_o to_o i_o seem_v of_o great_a weight_n than_o the_o govern_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o that_o be_v well_o

flatter_v and_o feed_v be_v much_o worse_a himself_o than_o they_o socrates_n since_o therefore_o o_o axiochus_n thou_o do_v so_o great_o disallow_v that_o opinion_n which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v count_v most_o honest_a and_o liberal_a what_o shall_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o other_o trade_n of_o life_n shall_v we_o not_o think_v that_o they_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v shun_v i_o remember_v that_o i_o once_o hear_v prodicus_n say_v that_o death_n pertain_v neither_o to_o the_o live_n nor_o to_o the_o dead_a axiochus_n how_o mean_v you_o that_o socrates_n socrates_n marry_o thus_o that_o death_n touch_v not_o they_o that_o be_v and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o life_n be_v now_o no_o more_o and_o therefore_o death_n now_o touch_v they_o not_o for_o thou_o be_v not_o yet_o dead_a neither_o if_o thou_o decease_n shall_v it_o concern_v thou_o for_o thou_o shall_v then_o have_v no_o more_o therefore_o most_o vain_a be_v that_o sorrow_n which_o axiochus_n
