the_o duchess_n have_v be_v his_o earthly_a governor_n but_o after_o some_o short_a stay_n in_o the_o court_n the_o duchess_n soul_n grow_v very_o melancholy_a the_o empress_n ask_v the_o cause_n of_o her_o sadness_n she_o tell_v she_o that_o she_o have_v a_o extreme_a desire_n to_o converse_v with_o the_o soul_n of_o her_o noble_a lord_n and_o dear_a husband_n and_o that_o she_o be_v impatient_a
