the_o shame_n prince_z expose_v in_o a_o dialogue_n between_o the_o pope_n nuncio_n and_o bricklayer_n wife_n nurse_n to_o the_o suppose_a prince_n of_o wales_n nurse_n ah_o father_n nuncio_n what_o woeful_a time_n be_v these_o we_o live_v in_o and_o how_o different_a from_o those_o when_o every_o day_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o chapel_n and_o almost_o all_o profession_n both_o in_o

than_o we_o have_v hear_v or_o see_v in_o former_a time_n and_o as_o we_o have_v still_o find_v the_o mother_n of_o god_n ready_a to_o help_v we_o at_o a_o dead_a lift_n so_o i_o do_v doubt_v but_o this_o will_v make_v one_o saint_n set_v she_o on_o her_o son_n to_o demand_v restitution_n nurse_n well_o you_o may_v flatter_v yourselves_o with_o restitution_n etc._n etc._n but_o your_o
