of_o your_o little_a bitch_n as_o i_o concern_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o my_o dear_a sister_n donna_n francisca_n a_o child_n when_o newborn_a know_v neither_o how_o to_o walk_v eat_v nor_o talk_v

up_o in_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o the_o body_n it_o can_v neither_o make_v use_n of_o the_o hand_n nor_o foot_n but_o the_o tongue_n must_v declare_v its_o wrong_n and_o the_o eye_n demonstrate_v

either_o love_n or_o hate_v regard_n must_v rather_o be_v have_v to_o the_o eye_n than_o tongue_n for_o this_o can_v only_o reveal_v what_o we_o common_o think_v when_o tear_n discover_v the_o deep_a

both_o which_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v you_o bestow_v with_o less_o devotion_n than_o affection_n since_o i_o be_o inform_v your_o fever_n do_v not_o at_o all_o increase_n and_o yet_o you_o
