scorn_v to_o have_v charles_n compare_v with_o so_o cruel_a a_o tyrant_n as_o nero_n he_o resemble_v he_o extreme_o much_o for_o nero_n likewise_o often_o threaten_v to_o take_v away_o the_o senate_n

by_o all_o these_o action_n he_o have_v sure_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o tyrant_n once_o over_o at_o least_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o why_o the_o word_n traitor_n be_v put_v into_o his_o
