to_o have_v tell_v you_o this_o as_o if_o my_o very_a look_n do_v not_o sufficient_o betray_v what_o i_o be_o or_o suppose_v any_o be_v so_o credulous_a as_o to_o take_v i_o for_o some_o sage_a

even_o by_o those_o who_o challenge_v the_o name_n of_o wit_n yet_o indeed_o be_v no_o better_a than_o jackanapes_n trick_v up_o in_o gawdy_a clothes_n and_o ass_n strut_a in_o lion_n skin_n and_o how_o cunning_o so_o ere_o they_o carry_v it_o their_o long_a ear_n appear_v and_o betray_v what_o they_o be_v these_o in_o troth_n be_v very_o rude_a and_o disingenuous_a for_o while_o they_o

wherefore_o since_o they_o be_v so_o eager_a to_o be_v account_v wise_a when_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v extreme_o silly_a what_o if_o to_o give_v they_o their_o due_a i_o dubb_v they_o with_o the_o
