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

friend_n lazarus_n and_o you_o madam_n mourn_v for_o your_o little_a bitch_n tear_n be_v as_o drop_n of_o blood_n distil_v from_o the_o heart_n through_o the_o eye_n i_o hold_v he_o as_o kind_n that_o

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 its_o misery_n we_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o if_o the_o one_o do_v not_o mourn_v the_o other_o will_v never_o weep_v i_o say_v this_o madam_n that_o you_o must_v needs_o love_v that_o spaniel_n exceed_o well_o since_o you_o have_v show_v so_o great_a concern_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o it_o for_o to_o consider_v a_o thing_n one_o 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

fictitious_a be_v not_o true_a but_o nevertheless_o they_o may_v weep_v for_o one_o thing_n and_o say_v they_o do_v it_o for_o another_o but_o to_o cry_v in_o jest_n be_v neither_o in_o their_o

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 still_o keep_v your_o bed_n to_o confess_v the_o truth_n madam_n i_o do_v wonder_v you_o lament_v but_o be_o offend_v at_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o since_o it_o will_v be_v more_o both_o for_o your_o honour_n and_o interest_n to_o mourn_v your_o sin_n than_o the_o death_n of_o a_o trifle_a mongrel_n you_o be_v descend_v from_o so_o noble_a a_o family_n and_o have_v the_o character_n of_o so_o

of_o by_o a_o great_a number_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v they_o have_v reason_n for_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o place_v our_o affection_n but_o only_o where_o it_o may_v be_v both_o well_o
