the_o hearer_n we_o do_v sudden_o fly_v out_o &_o either_o speak_v or_o exclaim_v at_o some_o other_o person_n or_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o greek_n call_v such_o figure_n as_o we_o do_v the_o turnway_n or_o turnetale_a &_o breed_v by_o such_o exchange_n a_o certain_a recreation_n to_o the_o hearer_n mind_n as_o this_o use_v by_o a_o lover_n to_o his_o unkind_a mistress_n and_o as_o for_o

majesty_n upon_o the_o sudden_a we_o burst_v out_o in_o a_o exclamation_n to_o phoebus_n seem_v to_o draw_v in_o a_o new_a matter_n thus_o but_o o_o phoebus_n all_o glister_a in_o thy_o gorgeous_a

return_v again_o to_o the_o first_o matter_n the_o matter_n and_o occasion_n lead_v we_o many_o time_n to_o describe_v and_o set_v forth_o many_o thing_n representation_n hypotiposis_n or_o the_o

for_o nothing_o can_v be_v kind_o counterfeit_a or_o represent_v in_o his_o absence_n but_o by_o great_a discretion_n in_o the_o doer_n and_o if_o the_o thing_n we_o covet_v to_o describe_v be_v not_o

the_o rest_n of_o the_o pilgrim_n most_o natural_o and_o pleasant_o personation_n prosopopeia_fw-la or_o the_o counterfeit_n in_o personation_n but_o if_o you_o will_v feign_v any_o person_n with_o
