downward_o press_v and_o lock_v fast_o within_o the_o body_n chest_n nor_o can_v they_o in_o this_o wretched_a state_n prevail_v to_o move_v beyond_o the_o confine_n of_o a_o jail_n nor_o can_v they_o

for_o to_o lie_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o all_o that_o pass_v by_o show_v his_o speckled_a coat_n and_o spangle_a skin_n gaudy_a without_o but_o venom_n all_o within_o with_o creep_a courtship_n

which_o the_o angel_n feed_v on_o not_o rise_v up_o above_o the_o ground_n we_o tread_v on_o unable_a for_o to_o fix_v our_o eye_n aloft_o cent'r_v on_o earth_n in_o body_n and_o in_o thought_n

time_n if_o improve_v will_v prove_v a_o friend_n in_o store_n when_o time_n will_v be_v that_o time_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o but_o ah_o we_o see_v how_o oft_o the_o glass_n in_o hand_n deceive_v
