conjure_v you_o and_o assist_v i_o in_o the_o work_n of_o surmount_v the_o infirmity_n of_o my_o sex_n and_o that_o i_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o my_o fruitless_a deliberation_n by_o a_o effectual_a despair_n a_o tragical_a conclusion_n will_v undoubted_o bring_v i_o often_o into_o your_o thought_n and_o make_v my_o memory_n dear_a to_o you_o and_o who_o know_v how_o you_o may_v be_v affect_v with_o the_o bravery_n of_o so_o glorious_a a_o death_n a_o death_n incomparable_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o life_n that_o you_o have_v leave_v i_o farewell_n then_o and_o i_o wish_v i_o have_v never_o see_v the_o eye_n of_o you_o but_o my_o heart_n contradict_v my_o pen_n for_o i_o feel_v in_o the_o very_a moment_n that_o i_o write_v it_o that_o i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o love_v you_o in_o any_o state_n of_o misery_n then_o agree_v to_o the_o bare_a supposition_n that_o i_o have_v never_o see_v you_o wherefore_o since_o you_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o mend_v my_o fortune_n i_o shall_v cheerful_o submit_v to_o the_o worst_a on_o it_o adieu_n but_o first_o promise_v i_o that_o if_o i_o die_v of_o grief_n you_o will_v have_v some_o tenderness_n for_o my_o ash_n or_o at_o least_o that_o the_o generosity_n of_o my_o passion_n shall_v put_v you_o out_o of_o love_n with_o all_o other_o thing_n this_o consolation_n shall_v satisfy_v i_o that_o if_o you_o must_v never_o be_v i_o i_o may_v be_v secure_v that_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v another_o you_o can_v be_v so_o inhuman_a sure_a as_o to_o make_v a_o mean_a use_n of_o my_o most_o affectionate_a despair_n and_o to_o recommend_v yourself_o to_o any_o other_o woman_n by_o show_v the_o power_n you_o have_v have_v upon_o i_o once_o more_o adieu_n my_o letter_n be_v long_o and_o i_o fear_v troublesome_a but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v forgive_v they_o and_o dispense_v with_o the_o foolery_n of_o a_o sot_n of_o your_o own_o make_n adieu_n methinks_v i_o run_v over_o and_o over_o too_o often_o with_o the_o story_n of_o my_o most_o deplorable_a condition_n give_v i_o leave_v now_o to_o thank_v you_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o my_o heart_n for_o the_o misery_n you_o have_v bring_v upon_o i_o and_o to_o detest_v the_o tranquillity_n i_o live_v in_o before_o i_o know_v you_o my_o passion_n be_v great_a every_o moment_n than_o other_o adieu_n oh_o what_o a_o world_n of_o thing_n have_v i_o to_o tell_v you_o the_o four_o letter_n your_o lieutenant_n tell_v i_o that_o you_o be_v force_v by_o foul_a wether_n to_o put_v in_o upon_o the_o coast_n of_o algarve_n i_o be_o afraid_a the_o sea_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o you_o and_o my_o fear_n for_o your_o misfortune_n make_v i_o almost_o to_o forget_v my_o own_o can_v you_o imagine_v your_o lieutenant_n to_o be_v more_o concern_v in_o what_o befall_v you_o than_o i_o be_o if_o not_o how_o come_v he_o to_o be_v so_o well_o inform_v and_o not_o one_o syllable_n to_o i_o if_o you_o can_v never_o find_v the_o mean_n of_o write_v to_o i_o since_o you_o go_v i_o be_o very_o unhappy_a but_o i_o be_o more_o so_o if_o you_o can_v have_v write_v and_o will_v not_o but_o what_o shall_v a_o body_n expect_v from_o so_o much_o ingratitude_n and_o injustice_n and_o yet_o it_o will_v break_v my_o heart_n if_o heaven_n shall_v punish_v you_o upon_o any_o account_n of_o i_o for_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o gratify_v my_o kindness_n than_o my_o revenge_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o clear_a than_o that_o you_o neither_o love_v i_o nor_o care_v what_o become_v of_o i_o and_o yet_o be_o i_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o a_o blind_a and_o besotted_a passion_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o counsel_n of_o a_o demonstrative_a reason_n this_o coldness_n of_o you_o when_o you_o and_o i_o be_v first_o acquaint_v will_v have_v save_v i_o many_o a_o sorrowful_a thought_n but_o where_o be_v the_o woman_n that_o in_o my_o place_n will_v have_v do_v otherwise_o than_o i_o do_v who_o will_v ever_o have_v question_v the_o truth_n of_o so_o press_v and_o artificial_a a_o importunity_n we_o can_v easy_o bring_v ourselves_o to_o suspect_v the_o faith_n of_o those_o we_o love_n i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o a_o slender_a excuse_n will_v serve_v your_o turn_n and_o i_o will_v be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o save_v you_o even_o the_o labour_n of_o that_o too_o by_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o can_v never_o consent_v to_o conclude_v you_o guilty_a but_o in_o order_n to_o the_o infinite_a pleasure_n i_o shall_v take_v to_o acquit_v you_o in_o persuade_v myself_o that_o you_o be_v innocent_a it_o be_v the_o assiduity_n of_o your_o conversation_n that_o refine_a i_o your_o passion_n that_o inflame_v i_o your_o good_a humour_n that_o charm_v i_o your_o oath_n and_o vow_n that_o confirm_v i_o but_o it_o be_v my_o own_o precipitate_a inclination_n that_o seduce_v i_o and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o these_o fair_a and_o promise_a beginning_n but_o sigh_n tear_n disquiet_n nay_o and_o the_o worst_a of_o death_n too_o without_o either_o hope_n or_o remedy_n the_o delight_n of_o my_o love_n i_o must_v confess_v have_v be_v strange_o surprise_v but_o follow_v with_o misery_n not_o to_o be_v

before_o you_o ever_o tell_v i_o any_o thing_n of_o your_o love_n and_o you_o have_v no_o soon_o declare_v it_o but_o with_o all_o the_o joy_n imaginable_a i_o receive_v it_o and_o give_v myself_o
