those_o base_a sheep-stealing_a puny_a rogus_fw-la that_o hazard_n their_o neck_n for_o a_o noble_a i_o be_o unacquainted_a with_o their_o action_n therefore_o i_o do_v not_o undertake_v to_o show_v

to_o take_v their_o inn_n betimes_o and_o more_o they_o hardly_o dare_v adventure_n in_o the_o dark_a because_o they_o can_v see_v either_o your_o dangerous_a defence_n or_o their_o own_o advantage_n

on_o your_o petty_a road_n where_o scarc_n any_o use_n to_o pass_v they_o never_o use_v to_o come_v there_o you_o may_v pass_v secure_a which_o i_o advise_v you_o choose_v if_o possible_a you_o can_v

side_n by_o side_n which_o be_v most_o common_o your_o overthrow_n but_o take_v my_o counsel_n here_o when_o ever_o you_o ride_v in_o fear_n especial_o ride_v far_o asunder_o a_o butt_n length_n at_o
