that_o the_o conclusion_n which_o he_o draw_v from_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v not_o the_o effect_n

the_o best_a of_o mortal_n be_v not_o long_o live_v yet_o let_v we_o not_o put_v the_o shroud_n over_o they_o too_o soon_o before_o we_o have_v strew_v some_o few_o flower_n over_o their_o grave_n
