therefore_o i_o shall_v thus_o say_v that_o as_o you_o say_v the_o young_a woman_n do_v very_o wise_o not_o define_v it_o for_o all_o that_o as_o you_o have_v do_v but_o in_o this_o manner_n she_o

reward_v the_o one_o for_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v she_o to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o good_a will_n shall_v not_o be_v unrewarded_a and_o so_o give_v he_o her_o garland_n in_o requital_n thereof_o to_o the_o other_o who_o she_o love_v she_o think_v she_o will_v give_v courage_n and_o assure_a hope_n of_o her_o love_n take_v his_o garland_n and_o deck_v herself_o therewith_o in_o token_n whereof_o she_o plain_o show_v to_o be_v behold_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n she_o love_v better_v he_o from_o who_o she_o take_v than_o he_o to_o who_o she_o give_v to_o who_o the_o queen_n thus_o make_v answer_v question_n your_o argument_n shall_v have_v please_v we_o right_n well_o if_o yourself_o in_o your_o tale_n have_v not_o condemn_v the_o

according_a to_o the_o question_v propound_v to_o the_o one_o she_o give_v a_o garland_n and_o from_o the_o other_o she_o take_v a_o garland_n neither_o have_v she_o too_o who_o she_o give_v aught_o
