and_o happiness_n because_o of_o the_o conceit_n that_o he_o be_v young_a and_o may_v have_v live_v many_o year_n more_o oh_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v every_o man_n care_n above_o all_o his_o other_o

name_n behind_o they_o and_o of_o all_o the_o madness_n of_o youth_n certain_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a that_o they_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o put_v away_o the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n from_o they_o and_o to_o indulge_v to_o all_o sensuality_n as_o though_o they_o be_v sure_a of_o many_o future_a year_n and_o to_o cry_v that_o it_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o to_o grow_v
