as_o the_o prince_n of_o morality_n advise_v non_fw-la respuit_fw-la quid_fw-la homines_fw-la turpe_fw-la iudicent_fw-la aut_fw-la miserum_fw-la not_o it_o qua_fw-la populus_fw-la sed_fw-la ut_fw-la

whereas_o mirth_n have_v so_o little_a credit_n as_o when_o rashness_n or_o falseness_n have_v make_v a_o escape_n by_o the_o tongue_n the_o refuge_n be_v to_o lay_v it_o to_o mirth_n charge_n who_o
