young_a dove_n carry_v in_o her_o bill_n a_o branch_n of_o bay_a leaf_n which_o she_o present_v to_o my_o hand_n and_o rest_v upon_o my_o sist_z and_o as_o i_o do_v contemplate_v and_o behold_v how_o jolly_a she_o be_v deck_v with_o feather_n violet_n changeable_a and_o guild_v round_o about_o her_o neck_n like_o a_o enamel_a chain_n i_o see_v come_v towards_o i_o two_o great_a bird_n of_o prey_n the_o one_o a_o raven_n croak_a who_o rest_v upon_o my_o head_n the_o other_o a_o red_a vulture_n who_o ravish_v away_o the_o dove_n with_o his_o claw_n very_o far_o off_o and_o high_a insomuch_o that_o i_o lose_v the_o sight_n thereof_o and_o avon_n after_o he_o come_v fly_v by_o i_o again_o carry_v always_o the_o dove_n with_o he_o which_o i_o think_v be_v become_v a_o stork_n carry_v in_o her_o bill_n a_o turn_n and_o wreathe_v serpent_n and_o thereupon_o come_v a_o eagle_n who_o take_v the_o dove_n let_v the_o serpent_n fall_v to_o the_o earth_n stark_o dead_a and_o the_o vulture_n fly_v away_o in_o the_o air_n the_o eagle_n carry_v away_o the_o dove_n resemble_v a_o stork_n so_o long_o that_o i_o see_v he_o no_o more_o but_o the_o raven_n who_o be_v upon_o my_o head_n beat_v my_o eye_n with_o her_o wing_n and_o will_v not_o depart_v until_o forcible_o i_o chase_v she_o away_o with_o the_o blow_n of_o my_o arm_n and_o hand_n so_o that_o at_o length_n she_o be_v force_v to_o arise_v cry_v and_o croak_a in_o mortal_a threaten_a wise_n this_o augury_n which_o of_o a_o truth_n be_v very_o sinister_a and_o of_o a_o evil_a presage_n to_o i_o do_v so_o trouble_v i_o and_o represent_v unto_o i_o so_o many_o curse_a signification_n that_o i_o can_v not_o sleep_v in_o all_o the_o night_n wherefore_o be_v weary_a of_o my_o unquietnes_n i_o arise_v before_o day_n &_o have_v deliberate_v to_o depart_v very_o short_o i_o go_v towards_o the_o sea_n to_o see_v how_o my_o hippopotame_n fare_v whereupon_o it_o happen_v that_o in_o pass_v through_o the_o meadow_n be_v yet_o somewhat_o dark_a i_o perceive_v a_o far_o off_o a_o certain_a long_a light_n stretch_v out_o never_o the_o ground_n yield_v such_o a_o brightness_n that_o one_o may_v well_o see_v that_o there_o be_v one_o lay_v thereby_o and_o still_o i_o think_v i_o have_v see_v this_o light_n before_o that_o time_n wherefore_o approach_v more_o never_o and_o aurora_n already_o have_v chase_v away_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n i_o see_v a_o most_o fair_a young_a man_n sleep_a full_o sweet_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n of_o who_o my_o entrails_n move_v within_o i_o and_o i_o may_v perceive_v that_o he_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o green_a shield_n of_o brass_n with_o the_o cock_n of_o gold_n which_o partly_o i_o know_v to_o be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v before_o time_n hang_v upon_o the_o trophy_n meruail_v much_o how_o he_o shall_v come_v by_o it_o for_o after_o i_o have_v hang_v it_o upon_o the_o tree_n and_o see_v it_o so_o fair_a i_o have_v great_a desire_n myself_o to_o have_v carry_v it_o away_o and_o do_v my_o endeavour_n to_o have_v pluck_v it_o down_o again_o but_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o i_o may_v aswell_o have_v pluck_v up_o the_o tree_n by_o the_o root_n but_o a_o grey_a crow_n iug_v over_o i_o cry_v labour_n no_o more_o to_o gain_v the_o shield_n for_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o a_o twice_o bear_v child_n which_o when_o i_o understand_v i_o leave_v off_o esteem_v that_o it_o shall_v never_o happen_v to_o any_o for_o as_o a_o man_n die_v but_o once_o so_o be_v he_o bear_v but_o once_o and_o thereupon_o i_o remember_v myself_o of_o the_o double_a birth_n of_o alector_n which_o the_o messenger_n have_v account_v to_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o imagine_v that_o the_o fair_a esquire_n may_v be_v my_o son_n alector_n consider_v also_o the_o sword_n which_o he_o wear_v which_o incontinent_o i_o know_v to_o be_v the_o same_o that_o i_o have_v send_v he_o with_o the_o shine_a scabbard_n which_o be_v that_o which_o i_o see_v first_o glister_n behold_v likewise_o his_o rich_a apparel_n and_o the_o chain_n of_o gold_n about_o his_o neck_n which_o be_v token_n of_o nobleness_n beside_o this_o i_o see_v the_o streak_n of_o his_o face_n resemble_v the_o form_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o queen_n priscaraxe_n yea_o more_o fair_a and_o more_o admirable_a and_o remember_v with_o myself_o moreover_o of_o the_o fodaine_a and_o great_a growth_n that_o i_o be_v inform_v of_o his_o advance_a youth_n all_o which_o thing_n confer_v together_o i_o assure_v myself_o for_o certain_a that_o this_o young_a esquire_n be_v my_o son_n alector_n which_o make_v my_o heart_n to_o throb_v and_o i_o rye_v to_o shed_v tear_n through_o pity_n and_o fatherly_a love_n and_o thus_o as_o i_o behold_v he_o through_o amorous_a affection_n he_o begin_v to_o stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n and_o to_o open_v his_o eye_n so_o clear_a as_o fine_a crystal_n and_o see_v i_o before_o he_o sudden_o he_o arise_v on_o his_o foot_n and_o after_o a_o honest_a reverence_n he_o begin_v his_o speech_n with_o the_o first_o word_n of_o truth_n say_v to_o i_o thus_o good_a father_n what_o will_v you_o that_o thus_o peaceable_o have_v overtake_v i_o sleep_a and_o
