if_o this_o maxim_n prevail_v over_o all_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v want_v a_o thousand_o fine_a work_n the_o read_n of_o which_o give_v we_o a_o very_a delicate_a pleasure_n but_o this_o maxim_n

what_o i_o can_v say_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o among_o author_n those_o only_o will_v write_v few_o verse_n who_o find_v themselves_o curb_v more_o by_o their_o own_o natural_a unaptness_n than_o by_o my_o reason_n excellent_a poet_n be_v as_o requisite_a for_o our_o pleasure_n as_o great_a mathematician_n for_o our_o use_n but_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o be_v acquaint_v
