be_v guide_v by_o no_o virtue_n nor_o direct_v unto_o any_o end_n who_o but_o fortish_a person_n and_o stony_a heart_n will_v lay_v their_o violent_a hand_n on_o a_o woman_n the_o pattern_n of_o

with_o war_n petron_n and_o therefore_o hate_v such_o man_n as_o love_v such_o jar_n and_o though_o all_o woman_n be_v not_o beautyfull_a neither_o have_v nature_n bestow_v all_o perfeaction_n every_o

for_o he_o see_v she_o with_o his_o own_o not_o with_o another_o eye_n love_v she_o only_o with_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o not_o another_o and_o enjoy_v she_o only_o to_o his_o own_o content_n in_o

thy_o own_o heart_n with_o what_o countenance_n with_o what_o art_n with_o what_o vain_a pretension_n can_v thou_o turn_v rebel_n unto_o love_n and_o present_o hate_v she_o who_o but_o now_o thou_o
