undertake_v a_o affair_n of_o that_o importance_n as_o to_o beget_v a_o child_n the_o poor_a man_n will_v have_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n you_o can_v imagine_v how_o uncapable_a that_o prince_n be_v to_o

poor_a woman_n she_o think_v to_o make_v i_o jealous_a but_o she_o take_v a_o wrong_a course_n i_o know_v too_o well_o my_o husband_n merit_n and_o that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o girl_n in_o the_o

grimaces_n which_o no_o way_n suit_n with_o a_o woman_n of_o her_o character_n in_o short_a she_o love_v pleasure_n better_o than_o her_o life_n and_o when_o she_o can_v please_v herself_o she_o produce_v other_o young_a and_o more_o beautiful_a this_o be_v the_o genius_n of_o the_o abbess_n of_o st._n cyr_n notwithstanding_o all_o her_o devotion_n in_o truth_n madam_n i_o never_o take_v that_o lady_n to_o be_v so_o give_v to_o the_o world_n or_o so_o addict_v to_o pleasure_n however_o she_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o she_o be_v in_o her_o wain_n and_o that_o it_o be_v time_n
