be_v a_o frantic_a error_n that_o fear_n where_o it_o shall_v love_v and_o rude_o invade_v where_o it_o shall_v reverential_o worship_n death_n itself_o be_v no_o evil_a at_o all_o but_o the_o

and_o effect_v the_o former_a have_v the_o name_n of_o good_a thing_n but_o not_o the_o propriety_n they_o may_v befall_v we_o but_o they_o do_v not_o stick_n to_o we_o and_o they_o may_v be_v take_v

the_o only_a treasure_n be_v that_o which_o fortune_n have_v no_o power_n over_o and_o the_o great_a it_o be_v the_o less_o envy_n it_o carry_v along_o with_o it_o let_v our_o vice_n die_v before_o
