pericles_n the_o last_o man_n unto_o he_o he_o say_v true_o thou_o have_v now_o bring_v unto_o we_o here_o that_o dwell_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o the_o captain_n that_o come_v from_o darksome_a

of_o tragical_a discipline_n bring_v in_o with_o it_o a_o certain_a saryticall_a discourse_n to_o move_v laughture_n now_o zennon_n contrariwise_o do_v counsel_v all_o those_o that_o say_v pericles_n
