as_o well_o as_o you_o have_v it_o thore_fw-la with_o your_o travail_n and_o so_o content_v yourself_o now_o for_o your_o parrot_n your_o ape_n your_o whale_n &_o your_o trick_n some_o of_o they_o we_o hear_v speak_v and_o other_o we_o see_v dance_v &_o other_o we_o hear_v of_o and_o what_o care_n we_o for_o more_o they_o that_o will_v be_v fool_n to_o give_v money_n for_o fancy_n let_v they_o alone_o with_o their_o folly_n i_o wish_v not_o to_o travail_n for_o any_o such_o toy_n now_o for_o your_o camp_n and_o your_o city_n besiege_v how_o gallant_a soever_o the_o sight_n seem_v please_v to_o your_o humour_n yet_o i_o think_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v better_o please_v with_o a_o poor_a peace_n than_o a_o rich_a war_n though_o common_o war_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o poverty_n and_o peace_n of_o wealth_n now_o for_o your_o wench_a humour_n so_o fine_a and_o so_o wise_a so_o fair_a and_o so_o sweet_a in_o her_o look_n and_o her_o word_n and_o her_o trick_n and_o her_o toy_n i_o thank_v god_n the_o thought_n of_o that_o world_n be_v do_v with_o i_o and_o i_o will_v it_o be_v never_o to_o be_v think_v on_o with_o you_o for_o let_v a_o old_a man_n lesson_n be_v what_o it_o will_v a_o fair_a wench_n be_v a_o young_a man_n love_n and_o so_o i_o allow_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o then_o i_o will_v have_v it_o near_o home_o that_o i_o may_v judge_v the_o better_a of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v as_o i_o hear_v so_o many_o painter_n of_o woman_n face_n so_o many_o instructer_n of_o woman_n tongue_n and_o so_o many_o flatterer_n of_o woman_n humour_n that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o both_o his_o insight_n and_o his_o outsight_n he_o may_v pay_v home_o for_o his_o blindness_n and_o therefore_o let_v wire_n and_o oracle_n and_o such_o poetical_a figure_n or_o fiction_n pass_v and_o for_o a_o flaxen_a or_o a_o brown_a hair_n for_o a_o chaste_a eye_n and_o a_o honest_a face_n for_o a_o good_a complexion_n and_o a_o gracious_a disposition_n i_o think_v all_o the_o world_n be_v not_o better_o provide_v for_o good_a wench_n then_o our_o country_n talk_v of_o your_o far_a country_n what_o you_o list_v and_o therefore_o i_o see_v not_o how_o you_o be_v benefit_v by_o your_o travail_n more_o than_o to_o have_v liberty_n to_o tell_v more_o than_o many_o well_o believe_v but_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o one_o thing_n in_o your_o travail_n do_v
