nor_o can_v expense_n of_o sorrow_n find_v redress_v for_o this_o sad_a accident_n or_o make_v it_o less_o grief_n be_v no_o cure_n for_o ill_n be_v and_o do_v arise_v from_o humane_a weakness_n not_o

entreat_v for_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o work_n so_o great_a darius_n condescend_v and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o mean_v he_o think_v convenient_a for_o this_o task_n name_n of_o three_o person_n only_o
