this_o world_n and_o all_o its_o glory_n you_o must_v leave_v but_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o seem_v to_o grieve_v for_o though_o this_o present_a life_n you_o do_v lay_v down_o you_o may_v

how_o shall_v i_o undergo_v so_o sharp_a a_o thing_n loath_a be_o i_o yet_o to_o yield_v to_o thou_o for_o why_o no_o live_a man_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v this_o tempt_a world_n where_o
