chief_a of_o all_o the_o palm_n show_v his_o strength_n and_o constancy_n in_o this_o that_o the_o more_o its_o load_a the_o high_a it_o rise_v and_o become_v more_o high_a the_o which_o be_v very_o contrary_a not_o only_o to_o all_o other_o tree_n but_o to_o all_o other_o thing_n for_o the_o more_o they_o be_v load_v the_o more_o they_o bow_n down_o towards_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o palm_n

will_n of_o god_n courage_n be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n valiant_o resist_v the_o assault_n of_o his_o enemy_n but_o valour_n be_v a_o virtue_n which_o cause_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o
