his_o invincible_a courage_n and_o fierce_a hardiness_n in_o so_o little_a a_o animal_n hear_v he_o sing_v be_v astonish_v and_o retire_v himself_o so_o write_v pliny_n q._n what_o be_v it_o that_o

rest_v upon_o one_o of_o our_o arm_n it_o will_v be_v benumb_v and_o become_v as_o unsensible_a a._n it_o be_v because_o that_o in_o press_v upon_o it_o the_o blood_n retire_v and_o run_v to_o the_o
