when_o thou_o have_v it_o it_o will_v be_v unto_o thou_o of_o no_o price_n at_o all_o for_o the_o desire_n die_v when_o it_o be_v attain_a and_o the_o affection_n perish_v when_o it_o be_v satisfy_v remember_v when_o thou_o be_v a_o suck_a child_n thou_o do_v love_v thy_o nurse_n and_o that_o thou_o be_v fond_a of_o she_o after_o a_o child_n thou_o do_v love_v thy_o dry_a nurse_n and_o do_v
