certain_o your_o mind_n be_v strange_o vitiate_v to_o delight_v more_o in_o the_o design_v smile_n of_o a_o prostitute_a harlot_n than_o in_o the_o endearment_n of_o a_o chaste_a though_o injure_a

may_v serve_v you_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o one_o of_o their_o first_o inquiry_n will_v be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o king_n leave_v his_o people_n and_o retire_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o a_o know_v tyrant_n which_o will_v occasion_v a_o dispute_n concern_v the_o incumbent_a duty_n of_o a_o prince_n and_o the_o allegiance_n of_o a_o subject_a a_o search_n will_v likewise_o be_v make_v
