shall_v maintain_v the_o empire_n or_o restore_v liberty_n i_o somewhat_o suspect_v the_o history_n of_o that_o council_n and_o i_o can_v scarce_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o gallant_a spirit_n

which_o he_o propose_v to_o we_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n for_o the_o same_o end_n the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o virtue_n be_v a_o certain_a sweetness_n and_o facility_n of_o manner_n which_o

assembly_n of_o man_n be_v too_o sad_a or_o too_o merry_a will_v seem_v either_o as_o the_o convoy_n of_o afflict_a person_n and_o the_o representation_n of_o a_o public_a grief_n or_o spectacle_n of_o naked_a person_n and_o the_o image_n of_o those_o licentious_a feast_n which_o dare_v not_o appear_v before_o cato_n the_o mean_a betwixt_o these_o two_o be_v a_o virtue_n of_o a_o truth_n neither_o so_o splendent_a nor_o so_o high_a as_o wisdom_n and_o magnanimity_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n allow_v by_o the_o philosopher_n even_o by_o the_o philosophy_n of_o cato_n and_o shall_v
