thou_o tell_v i_o i_o will_v not_o for_o all_o that_o thou_o shall_v make_v i_o believe_v a_o thing_n which_o shall_v make_v i_o be_v laugh_v at_o of_o the_o people_n if_o i_o shall_v speak_v it_o

one_o to_o speak_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v that_o reprove_v it_o just_a that_o be_v well_o do_v thou_o not_o think_v he_o speak_v it_o to_o that_o purpose_n mahomet_n when_o he_o take_v

not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o answer_v as_o when_o they_o say_v that_o this_o tongue_n be_v nothing_o worth_a because_o it_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n for_o all_o may_v see_v many_o time_n that_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o one_o thing_n rise_v the_o generation_n of_o a_o better_a thing_n as_o in_o the_o generation_n of_o man_n and_o what_o will_v thou_o

and_o shall_v he_o not_o answer_v to_o that_o soul_n no_o for_o as_o thy_o dante_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v no_o less_o a_o fool_n to_o answer_v he_o that_o will_v ask_v if_o there_o be_v fire_n in_o

he_o make_v of_o poetry_n where_o he_o show_v what_o marvelous_a art_n be_v find_v in_o our_o verse_n just_a i_o thynk_v thou_o say_v truth_n but_o take_v thou_o heed_n that_o love_n do_v not_o deceyve_v thou_o as_o it_o do_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n in_o their_o own_o thing_n soul_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o love_n do_v much_o but_o tell_v i_o how_o can_v it_o come_v to_o

marvellous_a beauty_n just_a i_o believe_v as_o thou_o say_v but_o wherein_o stand_v the_o betterness_n of_o it_o soul_n in_o verse_n by_o many_o very_o reasonable_o but_o in_o prose_n by_o few_o and_o much_o less_o than_o in_o verse_n just_a in_o this_o thou_o make_v i_o marvel_v much_o for_o i_o will_v have_v beleve_v that_o man_n do_v better_a that_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v oft_o and_o that_o be_v to_o speak_v in_o prose_n &_o not_o in_o verse_n but_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o soul_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o and_o note_v it_o well_o the_o beauty_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o tongue_n procee_v not_o only_o of_o the_o word_n but_o in_o the_o knit_n &_o place_v they_o together_o and_o he_o that_o will_v see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n what_o this_o second_o part_n well_o

sweetness_n that_o universal_o be_v in_o the_o clause_n of_o this_o &_o the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o other_o sand_n this_o order_n &_o facility_n can_v not_o be_v observe_v &_o keep_v in_o verse_n because_o of_o the_o measure_n the_o sound_n and_o the_o rhyme_n and_o yet_o it_o seem_v to_o man_n agre_v in_o certain_a particular_a law_n they_o can_v more_o equal_o meet_v in_o a_o way_n of_o composition_n &_o so_o better_o make_v verse_n than_o prose_n just_a of_o this_o i_o can_v gyve_v no_o judgement_n although_o i_o have_v read_v dant_fw-la but_o this_o i_o can_v say_v that_o i_o have_v straight_o know_v a_o man_n by_o his_o pronunciation_n whither_o he_o be_v a_o florentine_a or_o no_o though_o he_o force_v himself_o to_o speak_v never_o so_o well_o soul_n no_o doubt_n of_o

for_o they_o have_v common_o a_o certain_a rude_a pronunciation_n &_o can_v not_o leave_v it_o without_o some_o difficulty_n just_a that_o i_o think_v make_v no_o matter_n for_o he_o that_o be_v of_o the_o country_n be_v call_v and_o speak_v florentine_a soul_n make_v it_o no_o matter_n rather_o be_v there_o great_a difference_n if_o it_o be_v not_o holpen_v by_o good_a use_n just_a what_o be_v

sometime_o the_o country_n of_o his_o ancestor_n before_o that_o florence_n do_v recover_v they_o for_o citizen_n just_a then_o the_o tongue_n of_o which_o be_v make_v so_o great_a account_n be_v

and_o to_o reprove_v it_o and_o i_o think_v it_o have_v happen_v to_o they_o as_o do_v to_o a_o great_a master_n of_o our_o time_n touch_v the_o poet_n dante_n just_a what_o be_v that_o soul_n i_o
