which_o i_o have_v draw_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v that_o valour_n be_v a_o greatness_n of_o courage_n or_o a_o haughtiness_n of_o spirit_n by_o which_o a_o soul_n elevate_v above_o interest_n

which_o be_v simple_o call_v valour_n but_o after_o that_o heroic_a action_n perseus_n become_v infinite_o amorous_a of_o that_o same_o nymph_n the_o king_n his_o father_n and_o the_o god_n themselves_o declare_v themselves_o in_o his_o favour_n and_o will_v that_o he_o shall_v marry_v she_o yet_o that_o great_a man_n far_o from_o make_v advantage_n of_o his_o credit_n and_o her_o

and_o leave_v she_o entire_o to_o her_o liberty_n to_o choose_v a_o husband_n who_o be_v destine_v to_o he_o if_o she_o have_v love_v he_o and_o that_o for_o recompense_n of_o have_v save_v she_o and_o die_v for_o love_n of_o she_o he_o desire_v no_o other_o glory_n than_o to_o render_v her_o happy_a see_v here_o a_o action_n of_o that_o last_o kind_n of_o valour_n which_o be_v infinite_o above_o the_o first_o it_o be_v by_o this_o high_a virtue_n which_o be_v call_v generosity_n by_o which_o he_o gain_v the_o heart_n of_o andromeda_n and_o that_o he_o chase_v away_o phineus_n who_o

power_n this_o generosity_n have_v not_o only_o to_o conquer_v a_o illustrious_a heart_n but_o also_o to_o chase_v a_o lover_n rival_n from_o thence_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o a_o

consider_v glory_n in_o his_o love_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o it_o all_o his_o interest_n and_o all_o his_o pleasure_n for_o it_o be_v the_o character_n of_o a_o true_a lover_n to_o be_v generous_a
