poor_a john_n or_o a_o lenten_a dish_n be_v the_o soliloquy_n of_o john_n lambert_n now_o prisoner_n in_o the_o tower_n of_o london_n how_o various_a and_o inconstant_a be_v the_o wheel_n of_o fortune_n all_o the_o world_n know_v and_o i_o have_v now_o find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n i_o can_v never_o persuade_v myself_o till_o now_o but_o that_o i_o be_v bear_v under_o a_o regal_a planet_n notwithstanding_o the_o malignity_n of_o my_o star_n be_v such_o that_o in_o my_o childhood_n i_o be_v possess_v with_o that_o disease_n call_v the_o king_n evil_a which_o be_v heal_v under_o god_n by_o the_o late_a king_n charles_n and_o how_o i_o reward_v he_o for_o his_o pain_n who_o know_v not_o but_o i_o be_o not_o guilty_a alone_o of_o this_o abominable_a sin_n of_o ingratitude_n many_o thousand_o have_v offend_v in_o the_o like_a nature_n though_o but_o few_o so_o deep_o as_o myself_o and_o charles_n fleetwood_n his_o gracious_a godson_n may_v be_v place_v in_o the_o first_o rank_n also_o i_o confess_v my_o ambition_n be_v boundless_a and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o fawn_a smile_n of_o fortune_n who_o i_o think_v to_o have_v lead_v by_o the_o nose_n like_o a_o dog_n in_o a_o string_n my_o hope_n be_v not_o mean_a i_o think_v my_o lot_n will_v have_v fall_v in_o as_o good_a ground_n as_o oliver_n do_v and_o be_v content_a he_o shall_v king_n it_o as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v as_o know_v that_o my_o turn_n be_v next_o yet_o when_o i_o see_v that_o he_o labour_v to_o secure_v the_o government_n to_o his_o son_n and_o to_o settle_v it_o in_o his_o own_o line_n i_o begin_v to_o oppose_v he_o which_o he_o perceive_v quick_o lay_v i_o aside_o and_o for_o a_o long_a time_n i_o be_v nobody_o but_o i_o make_v a_o shift_n to_o start_v up_o again_o and_o to_o scour_v off_o the_o rubbish_n of_o my_o former_a honour_n which_o have_v lie_v long_o a_o rust_n by_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o rump_n and_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n then_o i_o deem_v myself_o a_o protector_n in_fw-la esse_fw-la be_v in_o high_a favour_n with_o the_o rump_n than_o their_o snivel_a lieutenant-general_n fleetwood_n under_o who_o wing_n i_o think_v good_a to_o play_v my_o game_n a_o while_n in_o short_a time_n i_o have_v a_o good_a occasion_n to_o make_v myself_o gracious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o my_o rumpish_a master_n and_o to_o advance_v my_o fame_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o soldiery_n by_o the_o foolish_a undertake_n of_o sr._n george_n booth_n which_o have_v render_v he_o infamous_a to_o eternity_n most_o man_n conclude_v he_o want_v either_o in_o judgement_n or_o fidelity_n what_o his_o fault_n be_v be_v best_a know_v to_o myself_o but_o i_o list_v not_o now_o to_o speak_v of_o it_o however_o i_o have_v a_o thousand_o pound_n as_o a_o gratuity_n for_o that_o service_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o straw_n in_o my_o aspire_a thought_n yet_o i_o take_v it_o thankful_o short_o after_o i_o give_v my_o good_a master_n a_o writ_n of_o ease_n and_o cleanse_v the_o house_n of_o they_o for_o if_o i_o have_v not_o so_o serve_v they_o they_o will_v have_v quick_o dispatch_v i_o whereupon_o i_o set_v up_o a_o crew_n of_o my_o own_o creature_n the_o committee_n of_o safety_n but_o they_o vanish_v like_o will_n of_o the_o wisp_n and_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o one_o blast_n from_o the_o rump_n myself_o be_v first_o outwit_v by_o monk_n and_o then_o forsake_v by_o all_o my_o soldier_n be_v force_v to_o sneak_v home_o and_o put_v my_o finger_n in_o a_o hole_n and_o now_o i_o have_v get_v the_o tower_n over_o my_o head_n but_o erelong_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v go_v to_o tyburn_n nevertheless_o in_o this_o day_n of_o my_o solitude_n and_o affliction_n i_o do_v cheer_v up_o my_o droop_a spirit_n and_o add_v a_o little_a

ii_o i_o call_v to_o mind_v those_o many_o gracious_a promise_n of_o dominion_n profit_n and_o pleasure_n make_v unto_o i_o by_o my_o good_a lord_n and_o best_a mr._n belzebub_n provide_v i_o will_v continual_o persevere_v to_o serve_v he_o faithful_o the_o neglect_n whereof_o i_o hearty_o repent_v as_o a_o main_a if_o not_o the_o sole_a cause_n of_o all_o these_o misfortune_n fall_v upon_o i_o
