or_o distasteful_a and_o for_o this_o reason_n sorrow_n and_o joy_n discover_v the_o inclination_n we_o have_v to_o any_o one_o the_o second_o be_v that_o friend_n share_v equal_o betwixt_o they_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v image_n of_o wax_n upon_o the_o which_o enchanter_n deliver_v such_o powerful_a spell_n as_o be_v make_v to_o represent_v any_o person_n as_o

in_o like_a manner_n the_o prosperity_n of_o friend_n pass_v from_o one_o to_o another_o so_o as_o the_o triumph_n of_o alexander_n be_v the_o contentment_n of_o ephestion_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o
