commander_n when_o your_o majesty_n can_v just_o boast_v of_o the_o best_a in_o all_o europe_n for_o wherever_o the_o prince_n of_o condé_v and_o viscount_n turenne_n be_v name_v there_o be_v no_o

of_o a_o great_a king_n and_o of_o a_o king_n true_o christian_n if_o you_o have_v any_o fail_n in_o your_o youth_n you_o be_v thanks_o be_v to_o god_n so_o well_o come_v to_o yourself_o that_o you_o

more_o wonderful_a thing_n have_v be_v do_v in_o your_o reign_n than_o in_o any_o of_o those_o great_a man_n who_o antiquity_n do_v so_o much_o boast_v never_o do_v any_o king_n go_v so_o early_o
