the_o same_o bigness_n that_o venus_n appear_v to_o we_o you_o afflict_v i_o say_v the_o marquiese_n extreme_o i_o see_v very_o well_o that_o our_o earth_n be_v not_o that_o happy_a planet_n to_o

a_o bright_a light_n and_o a_o more_o enliven_a heat_n i_o perceive_v very_o well_o interrupt_v the_o marquiese_n what_o kind_n of_o people_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o venus_n be_v they_o be_v like_o our_o moor_n of_o granada_n a_o sort_n of_o little_a sunburn_a gentleman_n always_o in_o love_n full_a of_o life_n and_o fire_n give_v to_o make_v verse_n and_o great_a lover_n of_o music_n and_o

since_o they_o be_v remove_v further_a than_o mercury_n towards_o the_o firmament_n his_o inhabitant_n must_v see_v they_o less_o than_o they_o appear_v to_o we_o and_o receive_v but_o little_a
