far_o from_o know_v how_o to_o end_v this_o discourse_n as_o i_o profess_v i_o know_v not_o yet_o where_o to_o begin_v it_o and_o indeed_o when_o i_o have_v write_v all_o i_o can_v on_o it_o i_o fancy_v i_o can_v make_v no_o other_o than_o this_o wholesale_n judgement_n of_o it_o that_o beauty_n universal_a govern_v power_n be_v of_o a_o miraculous_a nature_n like_o that_o of_o the_o ebb_a

weakness_n ought_v not_o to_o attempt_v what_o the_o strength_n of_o wit_n and_o philosophy_n can_v never_o perform_v so_o that_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o venture_v on_o this_o subject_a but_o as_o little_a boy_n do_v on_o a_o great_a river_n not_o hazard_v far_o on_o it_o for_o fear_v of_o be_v lose_v in_o it_o but_o content_v themselves_o with_o wade_v a_o little_a on_o the_o brink_n of_o it_o and_o there_o to_o dabble_v and_o wash_v they_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o its_o great_a depth_n and_o fierce_a stream_n and_o though_o i_o know_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n so_o enslave_v themselves_o to_o handsome_a woman_n power_n can_v spring_v but_o from_o a_o mean_a slavish_a nature_n and_o so_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o better_a by_o any_o consider_a man_n than_o a_o kind_n of_o kingdom_n in_o the_o moon_n or_o fairy_n land_n only_o hatch_v by_o the_o fiery_a amorous_a love_n of_o a_o high_a lustful_a and_o inflame_v distemper_v passion_n seat_v in_o the_o vain_a airy_a region_n of_o mere_a foolish_a imagination_n be_v not_o ground_v on_o any_o foundation_n of_o true_a reason_n or_o good_a consideration_n yet_o i_o can_v imitate_v the_o map_n maker_n who_o still_o leave_v a_o blank_a for_o their_o terra_fw-la incognita_fw-la but_o i_o must_v fill_v up_o my_o paper_n and_o rather_o than_o not_o write_v more_o of_o it_o i_o will_v leave_v of_o scratch_v my_o head_n and_o break_v my_o brain_n any_o long_o about_o it_o to_o find_v out_o how_o and_o where_o to_o begin_v this_o desperate_a subject_n it_o be_v like_o a_o coal_n all_o over_o red_a hot_a there_o be_v no_o touch_v it_o in_o any_o part_n without_o burn_v one_o finger_n it_o be_v like_o a_o hedge-hogg_n all_o over_o prickle_n so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v almost_o as_o hard_o a_o task_n for_o i_o to_o know_v how_o to_o hit_v upon_o a_o safe_a good_a way_n to_o begin_v this_o discourse_n as_o to_o find_v a_o sure_a mean_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o woman_n govern_n power_n but_o since_o i_o must_v begin_v i_o will_v as_o all_o builder_n do_v never_o mind_n to_o have_v the_o first_o foundation_n stone_n cut_v into_o any_o shape_n so_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o lay_v my_o first_o entrance_n into_o this_o discourse_n on_o the_o courtship_n and_o power_n of_o the_o welsh_a lady_n for_o there_o i_o fancy_v the_o man_n take_v no_o pain_n nor_o use_v any_o art_n to_o square_v or_o

speak_v to_o they_o but_o with_o large_a harangue_n of_o praise_n still_o besiege_v their_o mistress_n with_o army_n of_o compliment_n in_o admiration_n of_o their_o beauty_n and_o perfection_n and_o most_o of_o these_o fierce_a great_a lover_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v worse_o differ_v and_o excel_v one_o another_o in_o their_o manner_n of_o address_n mean_n of_o approach_n expense_n in_o

of_o a_o short_a extent_n which_o occasion_n the_o whole_a country_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o elevation_n and_o as_o the_o welsh_a gentry_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o

if_o we_o range_v over_o not_o only_a france_n and_o turkey_n but_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o praise_n be_v the_o butt_n all_o shoot_n at_o though_o few_o hit_v the_o
