be_v the_o sun_n as_o yet_o set_v and_o begin_v you_o to_o sleep_v if_o you_o do_v not_o know_v my_o divine_a power_n among_o man_n i_o be_o esteem_v a_o god_n and_o the_o genius_n of_o love_n and_o joy_n i_o be_o the_o god_n comus_n banquet_n who_o have_v teach_v mankind_n to_o revel_v and_o gormandise_v i_o have_v advance_v my_o empire_n far_o and_o near_o and_o be_o everywhere_o worship_v and_o adore_v ever_o since_o the_o sybarit_n other_o begin_v to_o be_v famous_a through_o the_o world_n now_o my_o sacrifice_n mention_v by_o writer_n be_v perform_v with_o luxury_n and_o pleasure_n and_o in_o fine_a all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o pleasure_n be_v i_o neither_o be_v any_o happy_a but_o he_o who_o belong_v to_o i_o my_o garb_n also_o become_v i_o for_o i_o have_v get_v the_o fertility_n of_o either_o sex_n and_o i_o know_v both_o how_o to_o give_v and_o receive_v pleasure_n man_n worship_v i_o as_o a_o god_n woman_n as_o a_o goddess_n but_o both_o adore_v the_o same_o

both_o the_o sex_n now_o what_o a_o punishment_n be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n without_o pleasure_n therefore_o if_o you_o be_v wise_a shun_v the_o one_o and_o catch_n hold_v of_o the_o other_o consider_v for_o what_o end_n nature_n bring_v you_o to_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o to_o torment_v your_o spirit_n with_o a_o severe_a virtue_n nor_o to_o thrust_v yourself_o out_o of_o the_o
