a_o little_a duck_n into_o a_o brook_n let_v loose_a who_o in_o his_o pride_n do_v offer_v to_o swim_v wager_n with_o a_o goose_n the_o match_n be_v make_v the_o gander_n keakt_v to_o see_v the_o

such_o as_o if_o a_o swan_n know_v how_o to_o love_v he_o can_v not_o love_v too_o much_o for_o she_o be_v fair_a and_o smooth_a and_o white_a and_o to_o her_o cock_n as_o true_a as_o any_o creature_n of_o her_o kind_n or_o any_o bird_n that_o slay_v he_o tread_v she_o oft_o and_o have_v by_o she_o a_o fair_a and_o kind_o breed_v and_o in_o the_o stream_n they_o kind_o do_v together_o swim_v and_o

be_v handle_v so_o but_o as_o she_o swim_v a_o buzzard_n kite_n do_v beat_v at_o she_o so_o sore_a that_o with_o her_o keak_n i_o awake_v and_o see_v the_o goose_n no_o more_o a_o dream_n of_o a_o buck_n cast_v of_o his_o horn_n menander_n think_v i_o see_v a_o gallant_a buck_n have_v new_o cast_v a_o horn_n which_o make_v he_o seem_v a_o goodly_a beast_n when_o it_o be_v brave_o bear_v and_o

my_o friend_n now_o may_v you_o see_v how_o nature_n have_v her_o shame_n of_o beauty_n and_o of_o arm_n at_o once_o to_o leave_v he_o naked_a so_o that_o now_o among_o his_o gallant_a mate_n he_o have_v no_o heart_n to_o go_v but_o if_o it_o be_v such_o valour_n be_v and_o beauty_n in_o a_o horn_n why_o shall_v they_o blush_v that_o bear_v the_o horn_n and_o have_v it_o so_o in_o scorn_n
