of_o her_o quality_n she_o be_v the_o daughter_n of_o a_o man_n of_o note_n call_v scamandogenes_n of_o so_o noble_a a_o race_n that_o no_o family_n in_o mytilene_n can_v show_v a_o long_o or_o more_o

the_o end_n you_o may_v the_o better_a know_v she_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o then_o madam_n that_o though_o you_o here_o speak_v of_o sappho_n as_o the_o most_o charm_a person_n of_o all_o greece_n yet_o you_o must_v not_o imagine_v she_o to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o in_o who_o enure_n can_v find_v a_o fault_n but_o yet_o you_o must_v know_v that_o though_o she_o be_v none_o of_o those_o which_o i_o speak_v of_o yet_o she_o be_v able_a to_o inspire_v great_a passion_n than_o the_o great_a beauty_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o though_o she_o say_v she_o be_v very_o low_a when_o

it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o high_a lustre_n yet_o so_o well_o as_o none_o can_v say_v but_o that_o she_o be_v very_o fair_a but_o her_o eye_n be_v so_o unexpressable_o lovely_a so_o fine_a so_o sweet_a so_o qu●ck_a so_o amorous_a and_o so_o sprightly_a as_o the_o lustre_n of_o they_o strike_v to_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o those_o she_o look_v upon_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o sparkle_v

make_v their_o great_a lustre_n be_v that_o there_o never_o be_v a_o great_a opposition_n than_o be_v between_o the_o black_a and_o white_a of_o her_o eye_n and_o yet_o this_o great_a opposition_n do_v not_o cause_v any_o harshness_n to_o appear_v in_o they_o but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o amorous_a kind_n of_o spirit_n which_o do_v sweeten_v they_o in_o such_o a_o charm_a manner_n as_o i_o do_v
