immortal_a assay_v to_o leave_v to_o thy_o soul_n a_o immortal_a remembrance_n ¶_o use_v thou_o to_o speak_v of_o honest_a affair_n and_o study_n that_o by_o such_o custom_n thou_o may_v think_v on_o

and_o good_a fortune_n they_o themselves_o be_v in_o great_a necessity_n but_o rather_o those_o that_o speak_v of_o themselves_o moderate_o can_v with_o other_o man_n and_o in_o their_o affair_n use_v
