plunder_n and_o sacrilege_n bring_v we_o almost_o to_o devastation_n and_o yet_o i_o hear_v some_o admire_v the_o man_n that_o have_v the_o gather_v of_o two_o or_o three_o easy_a reign_n or_o glean_n

that_o love_v honey_n but_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o laborious_a bee_n who_o go_v abroad_o with_o a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o gather_v store_n against_o the_o winter_n at_o every_o glimpse_n
