rather_o express_v man_n folly_n than_o make_v know_v their_o wit_n neither_o do_v many_o word_n argue_v much_o judgement_n but_o as_o the_o old_a say_v be_v the_o great_a talker_n be_v the_o least_o

but_o i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o opinion_n for_o if_o man_n will_v think_v more_o and_o speak_v less_o the_o world_n of_o mankind_n will_v be_v more_o honest_a and_o wise_a than_o they_o be_v for_o

majestical_a the_o other_o gay_a and_o airy_a the_o three_o meek_n and_o bashful_a yet_o all_o three_o graceful_a sweet_a and_o become_a also_o their_o wit_n be_v different_a the_o one_o propound_v well_o the_o other_o argue_v well_o the_o three_o resolve_v well_o all_o which_o make_v a_o harmony_n in_o discourse_n these_o three_o lady_n be_v resolve_v never_o to_o marry_v which_o make_v many_o

three_o young_a fair_a grace_n you_o say_v true_a my_o lord_n answer_v one_o of_o they_o but_o when_o we_o leave_v to_o be_v the_o young_a fair_a grace_n we_o shall_v then_o be_v the_o old_a wise_a sibyl_n by_o this_o answer_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o when_o our_o sex_n can_v pretend_v to_o be_v fair_a they_o will_v pretend_v to_o be_v wise_a but_o it_o matter_n not_o what_o we_o pretend_v

the_o happy_a of_o the_o two_o for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v a_o old_a dote_a fool_n than_o a_o wanton_a young_a filly_n but_o he_o will_v be_v very_o unhappy_a through_o jealousy_n what_o with_o his_o dotage_n and_o her_o freedom_n which_o will_v be_v like_o fire_n and_o oil_n to_o set_v his_o mind_n on_o a_o flame_n and_o burn_v out_o the_o lamp_n of_o his_o life_n true_o i_o do_v wonder_v when_o i_o hear_v they_o be_v marry_v know_v her_o nature_n and_o his_o humour_n for_o she_o love_v young_a masculine_a company_n and_o he_o love_v only_o young_a female_a companion_n so_o that_o he_o can_v enjoy_v she_o to_o himself_o unless_o she_o bar_v herself_o from_o
make_v himself_o monarch_n all_o the_o rest_n shall_v kill_v themselves_o have_v as_o much_o plenty_n and_o prosperity_n and_o more_o safety_n than_o they_o have_v this_o will_v seem_v strange_a and_o like_o a_o lunacy_n as_o a_o defect_n of_o reason_n indeed_o a_o mere_a madness_n the_o same_o be_v with_o cato_n for_o he_o perceive_v his_o country_n be_v like_a to_o be_v govern_v as_o a_o monarchy_n which_o be_v before_o a_o republic_n kill_v himself_o although_o he_o know_v the_o old_a government_n be_v so_o corrupt_v as_o it_o cause_v great_a riot_n tumult_n sedition_n faction_n and_o slaughter_v kill_v and_o murder_v even_o in_o the_o marketplace_n so_o as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v worse_o what_o chance_n soever_o come_v but_o be_v probable_a a_o change_n of_o government_n may_v make_v it_o more_o peaceable_a and_o safe_a wherefore_o cato_n do_v not_o kill_v himself_o for_o the_o peace_n and_o safety_n of_o his_o country_n but_o for_o the_o government_n as_o choose_v rather_o to_o have_v it_o govern_v ill_o by_o the_o old_a way_n than_o to_o have_v it_o govern_v well_o another_o way_n but_o if_o the_o change_n of_o government_n have_v be_v likely_a to_o alter_v their_o religion_n to_o destroy_v their_o native_n to_o torture_v their_o friend_n to_o disperse_v the_o ash_n of_o their_o dead_a ancestor_n and_o to_o pull_v down_o their_o monument_n and_o his_o country_n to_o be_v enjoy_v possess_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o stranger_n he_o have_v choose_v well_o to_o have_v voluntary_o die_v rather_o than_o to_o live_v to_o see_v those_o misery_n calamity_n and_o destruction_n but_o he_o know_v his_o country_n fall_v unto_o the_o government_n of_o a_o noble_a native_a who_o have_v conquer_a many_o nation_n to_o enlarge_v it_o and_o bring_v in_o much_o wealth_n to_o enrich_v it_o and_o many_o vassal_n to_o serve_v it_o and_o have_v not_o only_a courage_n but_o power_n and_o skill_n to_o protect_v it_o prudence_n and_o justice_n to_o rule_n and_o govern_v it_o and_o clemency_n and_o tenderness_n to_o love_v it_o and_o yet_o cato_n to_o kill_v himself_o because_o caesar_n be_v to_o be_v chief_a in_o it_o be_v strange_a yet_o howsoever_o cato_n do_v noble_a to_o kill_v himself_o than_o those_o that_o kill_v caesar_n for_o cato_n death_n show_v only_o a_o dislike_n to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o government_n and_o not_o a_o hate_n to_o the_o man_n that_o govern_v whereas_o the_o murderer_n of_o caesar_n show_v more_o a_o envy_n to_o the_o governor_n than_o a_o dislike_n to_o the_o government_n but_o the_o wise_a man_n may_v err_v sometime_o so_o do_v cato_n in_o his_o death_n in_o my_o opinion_n wherefore_o leave_v honest_a cato_n to_o honourable_a fame_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n
