let_v he_o know_v his_o father_n be_v a_o king_n if_o that_o to_o azaria_n be_v a_o blot_n his_o father_n make_v it_o when_o he_o he_o beget_v but_o heaven_n such_o virtue_n mould_v with_o his_o

at_o my_o shame_n oh_o will_v to_o heaven_n i_o never_o have_v be_v beget_v or_o never_o have_v be_v bear_v a_o royal_a blot_n my_o father_n blood_n run_v through_o every_o vein_n he_o form_v those_o
