at_o such_o a_o age_n as_o can_v not_o be_v imagine_v she_o can_v bear_v out_o her_o royal_a authority_n as_o she_o do_v i_o know_v again_o sir_n that_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n lest_o auditor_n

he_o have_v a_o friend_n call_v egesipes_n who_o he_o constant_o love_v from_o his_o very_a cradle_n yet_o the_o odness_n of_o his_o destiny_n be_v such_o as_o that_o he_o have_v love_v many_o as_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o be_v please_v to_o know_v madam_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o thrasiles_n be_v out_o of_o his_o tutorship_n and_o begin_v to_o make_v visit_n of_o his_o own_o head_n he_o fall_v as_o much_o in_o love_n as_o the_o age_n at_o which_o he_o be_v will_v permit_v he_o but_o since_o you_o know_v young_a man_n who_o first_o enter_v into_o the_o world_n be_v not_o always_o treat_v so_o well_o as_o those_o who_o have_v be_v long_o in_o it_o unless_o by_o woman_n who_o never_o use_v to_o repulse_v any_o and_o such_o who_o will_v have_v slave_n of_o all_o sort_n so_o thrasiles_n though_o very_o handsome_a and_o of_o much_o spirit_n do_v not_o then_o meet_v with_o a_o equal_a civility_n among_o those_o lady_n who_o have_v the_o great_a reputation_n of_o beauty_n and_o he_o easy_o observe_v that_o they_o make_v some_o difference_n between_o man_n of_o his_o form_n and_o age_n and_o other_o who_o be_v elder_a than_o himself_o so_o that_o since_o it_o be_v glorious_a for_o

where_o he_o be_v talk_v unto_o as_o other_o be_v and_o where_o a_o hundred_o trifle_n be_v impart_v to_o he_o and_o he_o love_v this_o lady_n as_o desperate_o as_o ever_o any_o do_v and_o he_o love_v

he_o may_v employ_v all_o the_o friend_n he_o have_v in_o athens_n to_o persuade_v megacles_n unto_o his_o marriage_n with_o she_o as_o for_o erophile_n he_o be_v sure_a she_o will_v willing_o

to_o know_v one_o love_n esteem_v in_o marriage_n doubtless_o be_v necessary_a but_o there_o need_v no_o violent_a passion_n love_n may_v grow_v between_o people_n who_o marry_v and_o may_v last_v

however_o pisistrate_n for_o all_o this_o be_v force_v to_o obey_v cleorante_a and_o not_o speak_v unto_o megacles_n in_o a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v so_o melancholy_a lest_o he_o shall_v receive_v
