that_o all_o sensitive_a pleasure_n be_v troublesome_a and_o importune_a unless_o the_o body_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a disposition_n when_o such_o delight_n be_v seasonable_a as_o to_o one_o who_o

either_o it_o be_v too_o full_a and_o will_v discharge_v some_o oppress_a part_n or_o too_o empty_a and_o demand_v something_o to_o fill_v it_o soul_n all_o this_o i_o agree_v to_o in_o pleasure_n
