heaven_n take_v a_o pleasure_n to_o hear_v her_o name_n sing_v though_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o infancy_n and_o ignorance_n and_o last_o consider_v that_o we_o can_v speak_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v great_a when_o we_o begin_v to_o discourse_v of_o the_o great_a christina_n those_o who_o have_v a_o resolution_n to_o pron_z ounce_n the_o elegy_n of_o any_o illustrious_a person_n after_o they_o have_v entreat_v their_o auditor_n to_o afford_v they_o a_o favourable_a silence_n and_o honour_v they_o with_o a_o calm_a attention_n they_o be_v usual_o accustom_v to_o cut_v off_o

not_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o shall_v live_v ignorant_a that_o the_o father_n of_o our_o princess_n be_v the_o great_a king_n and_o the_o great_a

be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v produce_v to_o entertain_v your_o ear_n which_o have_v not_o a_o thousand_o &_o a_o thousand_o time_n be_v speak_v of_o that_o illustrious_a monarch_n who_o action_n and_o invincible_a courage_n attract_v the_o admiration_n of_o all_o those_o who_o be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o see_v he_o fight_v nevertheless_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v glance_v upon_o that_o which_o our_o history_n of_o france_n have_v glorious_o preserve_v it_o be_v record_v that_o this_o good_a king_n a_o little_a before_o the_o pale_a hand_n of_o death_n have_v seize_v upon_o his_o person_n be_v inspire_v by_o some_o prophetic_a thought_n tell_v his_o people_n that_o they_o will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n be_v they_o put_v too_o great_a a_o confidence_n and_o security_n in_o

god_n to_o chastise_v our_o pride_n and_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o brittle_a constitution_n summon_v up_o to_o heaven_n that_o pure_a virtue_n in_o the_o flower_n of_o his_o age_n after_o

of_o all_o the_o world_n let_v we_o say_v he_o be_v the_o worthy_a father_n of_o our_o queen_n but_o when_o i_o say_v he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o our_o queen_n what_o can_v be_v say_v that_o have_v not_o be_v already_o speak_v and_o draw_v from_o he_o by_o a_o infallible_a consequence_n since_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o incomparable_a christina_n can_v have_v a_o father_n less_o
