for_o thyself_o left_v nothing_o for_o jupiter_n but_o bone_n cover_v with_o fat_a as_o i_o remember_v hesiod_n tell_v the_o story_n so_o next_o thou_o make_v man_n a_o most_o sly_a and_o fallacious_a

if_o he_o do_v thus_o for_o a_o little_a beef_n what_o will_v he_o have_v do_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o whole_a ox_n mortal_a man_n deal_v much_o discreetly_o in_o the_o like_a case_n than_o so_o
