to_o kiss_v it_o for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n he_o have_v no_o soon_o speak_v the_o word_n but_o there_o be_v great_a throng_v
in_o france_n between_o gentleman_n and_o gentlewoman_n etc._n etc._n be_v permit_v and_o hold_v as_o honest_a be_v they_o kinsman_n or_o other_o whereas_o such_o a_o kiss_n in_o italy_n will_v not_o
