so_o that_o nature_n have_v honour_v hair_n with_o so_o great_a a_o privilege_n of_o her_o favour_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v it_o worthy_a all_o honour_n in_o itself_o without_o any_o

this_o hair_n the_o argument_n of_o our_o present_a mourning_n more_o than_o any_o but_o we_o must_v not_o think_v prince_n and_o senator_n that_o the_o undaunted_a heart_n of_o our_o emperor_n
