pardon_v his_o boldness_n and_o prefer_v his_o art_n yet_o inquire_v why_o he_o frame_v the_o table_n so_o big_a he_o answer_v that_o he_o think_v that_o frame_n to_o be_v but_o little_a enough_o for_o his_o picture_n when_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v to_o little_a for_o his_o person_n say_v that_o alexander_n must_v as_o well_o be_v praise_v as_o paint_v and_o that_o all_o his_o victory_n
