arm_n for_o that_o in_o those_o part_n there_o be_v never_o see_v knight_n of_o so_o much_o strength_n that_o can_v compare_v himself_o with_o he_o &_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o jupiter_n

shall_v defend_v her_o great_a &_o excellent_a beauty_n for_o the_o space_n of_o three_o month_n in_o the_o court_n of_o the_o emperor_n &_o if_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o find_v not_o a_o
