be_o sure_a my_o soul_n will_v lose_v her_o way_n ii_o oh_o it_o be_v not_o dark_a enough_o i_o wish_v it_o be_v some_o ray_n be_v still_o on_o my_o eye_n atmosphere_n which_o give_v sufficient_a

such_o a_o vow_n which_o thou_o will_v never_o pay_v and_o promise_v that_o from_o very_o now_o till_o everlasting_a day_n thou_o mean_v to_o love_n sigh_n bleed_v and_o die_v and_o languish_v out_o thy_o breath_n in_o praise_n of_o my_o divinity_n to_o the_o minute_n of_o thy_o death_n ii_o sweet_a youth_n thou_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v love_n votary_n where_o thou_o must_v for_o

austerity_n iii_o for_o world_n of_o beauty_n always_o stand_v to_o tempt_v thy_o willing_a eye_n and_o troop_n of_o lust_n be_v at_o thy_o hand_n to_o vanquish_v thou_o or_o die_v and_o now_o this_o

do_v thou_o forbear_v where_o there_o be_v no_o desert_n for_o alas_o encomium_n here_o be_v jewel_n throw_v in_o the_o dirt_n for_o i_o no_o more_o deserve_v applause_n now_o youth_n and_o beauty_n be_v flee_v than_o a_o tulip_n or_o a_o rose_n when_o its_o fair_a leave_n be_v shed_v however_o i_o wish_v thy_o praise_n may_v like_o prayer_n to_o heaven_n bear_v when_o holy_a soul_n for_o

compliment_n and_o formality_n since_o nought_o but_o interest_n now_o can_v bind_v even_o old_a acquaintance_n to_o be_v kind_a it_o be_v madness_n then_o to_o hope_v to_o find_v true_a friendship_n in_o the_o modern_a crew_n of_o late-contracted_n friend_n hence_o then_o acquaintance_n all_o adieu_o i_o can_v oblige_v my_o friendship_n to_o pursue_v such_o dull_a insipid_a end_n as_o nought_o but_o to_o a_o ceremony_n tend_v since_o friendship_n from_o old_a friend_n be_v fly_v rather_o than_o endure_v the_o pratling_n the_o flattery_n and_o the_o censuring_n which_o a_o modish_a friendship_n bring_v my_o pensive_a dove_n shall_v sit_v and_o coo_o alone_o ii_o but_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v say_v unlucky_a business_n have_v this_o mischief_n make_v business_n that_o

business_n now_o be_v a_o merchant_n of_o such_o fame_n that_o he_o have_v get_v the_o whole_a monopoly_n of_o time_n love_n friends_z and_o liberty_n of_o which_o if_o there_o be_v scarcity_n business_n be_v to_o blame_v for_o nought_o can_v vend_v be_v but_o in_o his_o name_n iii_o since_o then_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o to_o business_n pro●e_n it_o be_v time_n that_o idle_a i_o
