imitate_v other_o i_o shall_v choose_v to_o be_v imitate_v by_o other_o for_o my_o nature_n be_v such_o that_o i_o have_v rather_o appear_v worse_o in_o singularity_n than_o better_a in_o the_o mode_n

such_o artificial_a rule_n the_o emperor_n ask_v be_v those_o good_a play_n that_o be_v make_v so_o methodical_o and_o artificial_o the_o duchess_n answer_v they_o be_v good_a according_a to_o the_o

of_o whine_a lover_n and_o not_o a_o academy_n or_o school_n for_o wise_n witty_a noble_a and_o well-behaved_a man_n but_o i_o reply_v the_o emperor_n desire_v such_o a_o theatre_n as_o may_v make_v
