grief_n the_o constant_a attendant_n of_o my_o life_n and_o yet_o look_v sad_o and_o mournful_o upon_o the_o grave_a my_o corruption_n belong_v to_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o

eternity_n now_o i_o find_v how_o many_o thing_n do_v not_o that_o be_v esteem_v in_o popular_a judgement_n to_o make_v one_o happy_a how_o little_o they_o contribute_v towards_o it_o to_o i_o alone_o till_o i_o be_v mix_v with_o those_o people_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o those_o opinion_n we_o entertain_v with_o true_a and_o real_a passion_n the_o scenical_a composition_n of_o the_o stage_n there_o be_v in_o man_n life_n play_v not_o act_v but_o live_v solemn_a fiction_n not_o feign_v but_o believe_v man_n now_o acknowledge_v their_o own_o nature_n who_o precept_n have_v teach_v to_o
