of_o clonico_n oh_o noble_a queen_n since_o you_o say_v so_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o you_o have_v always_o be_v love_v again_o of_o he_o who_o you_o have_v love_v by_o occasion_n whereof_o you_o

how_o much_o y●_z more_o i_o see_v myself_o far_o off_o from_o the_o attain_n thesame_a so_o much_o the_o more_o i_o burn_v and_o consume_v myself_o assault_v of_o a_o thousand_o instigation_n

your_o answer_n seem_v contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n because_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o hold_v with_o suspicion_n than_o to_o desire_v with_o tear_n that_o
