nature_n create_v we_o anew_o free_v we_o from_o evil_a feoff_n we_o in_o good_a honour_n wealth_n contentment_n everlasting_a happiness_n oh_o the_o wonderful_a oh_o the_o beneficial_a power_n of_o

of_o any_o of_o these_o make_v we_o mad_a of_o the_o world_n if_o but_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o little_a honour_n wealth_n promotion_n pleasure_n be_v cast_v before_o we_o how_o eager_o do_v we_o
