my_o solitary_a life_n almost_o these_o seven_o year_n who_o have_v i_o entertain_v but_o my_o own_o thought_n and_o thy_o virtue_n what_o company_n have_v i_o use_v but_o contemplation_n who_o have_v i_o wonder_v at_o but_o thou_o nay_o who_o have_v i_o not_o contemn_v for_o thou_o have_v i_o not_o creep_v to_o those_o on_o who_o i_o may_v have_v tread_v only_o because_o thou_o do_v shine_v upon_o they_o have_v not_o injury_n be_v sweet_a to_o i_o if_o thou_o vouchsafe_v i_o shall_v bear_v they_o have_v i_o not_o spend_v my_o golden_a year_n in_o hope_n wax_a old_a with_o wish_v yet_o wish_v nothing_o but_o thy_o love_n with_o tellus_n fair_a tellus_n have_v i_o dissemble_v use_v she_o but_o as_o a_o cloak_n for_o my_o affection_n that_o other_o see_v my_o mangle_a and_o disorder_a mind_n may_v think_v it_o be_v for_o one_o that_o love_v i_o not_o for_o cynthia_n who_o perfection_n allow_v no_o companion_n nor_o comparison_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o distemper_a thought_n of_o i_o thou_o be_v not_o only_o jealous_a of_o my_o truth_n but_o careless_a suspicious_a and_o secure_a which_o strange_a humour_n make_v my_o mind_n as_o desperate_a as_o thy_o conceit_n be_v

of_o all_o lady_n the_o bravery_n of_o all_o court_n the_o company_n of_o all_o man_n have_v choose_v in_o a_o solitary_a cell_n to_o live_v only_o by_o feed_v on_o thy_o favour_n account_v in_o the_o
