that_o they_o be_v always_o offensive_a and_o injurious_a even_o when_o they_o seem_v to_o speak_v most_o reason_n and_o equity_n only_o charity_n have_v the_o privilege_n of_o say_v in_o a_o manner_n

that_o a_o lover_n can_v with_o any_o justice_n complain_v of_o the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o mistress_n nor_o the_o mistress_n of_o the_o fickleness_n of_o her_o lover_n xcix_o if_o we_o make_v a_o
