that_o i_o be_o let_v i_o now_o die_v a_o most_o desperate_a death_n see_v i_o have_v overthrow_v the_o only_a fair_a flower_n of_o chivalry_n these_o word_n she_o utter_v with_o such_o entire_a

that_o traitor_n primaleon_n and_o shall_v i_o now_o see_v thou_o die_v in_o who_o my_o comfort_n thereof_o consist_v ah_o miserable_a mother_n queen_n much_o better_a be_v my_o death_n than_o to_o see_v my_o fair_a hope_n in_o this_o extremity_n then_o turn_v to_o the_o knight_n who_o have_v deliver_v this_o false_a message_n away_o quoth_v she_o with_o this_o black_a tell-tale_n of_o sad_a

in_o thy_o disloyal_a hart_n rather_o than_o otherwise_o else_o can_v no_o one_o in_o the_o world_n persuade_v i_o that_o the_o famous_a knight_n of_o the_o cleave_a rock_n be_v dead_a after_o she_o have_v thus_o speak_v she_o catch_v her_o daughter_n to_o she_o again_o in_o her_o arm_n and_o by_o cast_v cold_a water_n on_o her_o face_n chafe_v her_o temple_n and_o other_o such_o like_a mean_n

knight_n of_o the_o cleave_a rock_n be_v it_o certain_a that_o thou_o be_v dead_a i_o can_v think_v the_o auspicious_a heaven_n so_o much_o envy_v my_o good_a fortune_n neither_o have_v they_o so_o

know_v the_o true_a sympathy_n of_o my_o affection_n with_o thou_o peradventure_o it_o may_v be_v that_o i_o be_v unworthy_a to_o enjoy_v thou_o as_o myhusband_n and_o therefore_o heaven_n think_v it_o meet_v to_o cut_v thou_o off_o so_o soon_o only_o to_o forestall_v i_o of_o so_o high_a a_o happiness_n and_o that_o primaleon_n may_v live_v in_o better_a assurance_n than_o he_o do_v while_o
