hide_v they_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o carry_v they_o safe_a to_o grey_a hair_n and_o a_o good_a old-age_n but_o this_o be_v not_o so_o mean_v as_o if_o all_o man_n piety_n be_v to_o be_v a_o charm_n against_o sickness_n and_o death_n no_o not_o only_o the_o bloodthirsty_a and_o deceitful_a do_v not_o live_v out_o half_a their_o day_n but_o even_o the_o good_a and_o
