enthusiasm_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v man_n at_o length_n betray_v to_o neglect_v the_o plain_a and_o practical_a principle_n of_o reason_n and_o moral_a honesty_n whilst_o they_o befool_v and_o

their_o spirit_n be_v weak_a and_o languid_a melancholy_a reek_n and_o vapour_n cloud_n and_o overwhelm_v their_o fancy_n and_o then_o the_o scene_n be_v all_o tragedy_n and_o they_o be_v immediate_o
