A54240	The wits academy, or, The muses delight consisting of merry dialogues upon various occasions composed of mirth, wit, and eloquence, for a help to discourse to such as have had but small converse with the critical sort of people, which live in this censorious age : as also, divers sorts of letters upon several occasions both merry and jocose, helpful for the inexpert to imitate, and pleasant to those of better judgement, at their own leisure to peruse : with a perfect collection of all the newest and best songs, and catches, that are, and have been lately in request at court, and both the theatres.

will_v attend_v all_o those_o that_o without_o consideration_n match_v themselves_o to_o such_o extravagancy_n i_o hearty_o can_v wish_v the_o time_n be_v come_v that_o both_o our_o heart_n and_o

which_o every_o night_n i_o dream_v on_o without_o redress_n it_o be_v real_a pleasure_n that_o i_o want_v my_o dear_n conclusion_n and_o end_n of_o letter_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o upon_o all_o

which_o i_o hope_v will_v be_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o you_o from_o sir_n your_o dutiful_a son_n g._n h._n my_o dearest-soul_n blame_v i_o not_o for_o my_o suspicion_n and_o jealousy_n of_o thy_o
