and_o therefore_o though_o you_o be_v my_o kinsman_n i_o see_v it_o be_v more_o in_o name_n then_o in_o nature_n thy_o breath_n smell_n all_o of_o garlic_n and_o thy_o meat_n taste_v all_o of_o mammaday_o pudding_n which_o break_v at_o both_o end_n the_o stuff_n run_v about_o the_o pot_n and_o since_o i_o see_v thou_o be_v like_o a_o millstone_n that_o will_v not_o easy_o be_v stir_v i_o

every_o man_n that_o have_v wit_n be_v not_o true_o wise_a for_o than_o no_o man_n will_v spend_v breath_n to_o no_o purpose_n a_o ox_n foot_n may_v be_v sweet_a than_o a_o cod_n head_n when_o sock_n may_v be_v but_o saveguard_n for_o bare_a tooe_n in_o break_a stocking_n garlic_n have_v be_v in_o more_o grace_n than_o tobacco_n and_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o country_n with_o they_o that_o love_v
