when_o i_o consider_v what_o a_o vast_a quantity_n of_o fresh_a water_n empty_v itself_o from_o all_o part_n into_o the_o caspian_a lake_n but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o wonderful_a be_v this_o to_o

a_o surprise_v rapidness_n may_v be_v hear_v in_o calm_a wether_n so_o far_o off_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o terrify_v all_o those_o who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o real_a cause_n the_o second_o
