go_v that_o reason_n and_o consideration_n be_v now_o in_o their_o perfection_n and_o strength_n that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a age_n of_o prudence_n and_o discretion_n of_o wisdom_n and_o wariness_n so_o that_o now_o be_v the_o proper_a time_n for_o you_o to_o be_v serious_a and_o wise_o to_o secure_v your_o future_a happiness_n as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v old_a they_o methinks_v shall_v
