in_o sable_n at_o the_o funeral_n of_o their_o friend_n but_o in_o white_a look_v upon_o their_o die_a day_n as_o the_o day_n of_o their_o nuptial_n it_o be_v most_o terrible_a to_o nature_n to_o be_v

and_o you_o carry_v as_o if_o all_o your_o comfort_n be_v dead_a with_o they_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o god_n give_v such_o blow_n those_o that_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o tenderness_n do_v
