well_o as_o those_o who_o make_v it_o their_o trade_n neither_o can_v you_o make_v they_o so_o cheap_a as_o they_o will_v sell_v they_o out_o of_o their_o shop_n wherefore_o you_o have_v better_o

the_o happy_a of_o the_o two_o for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v a_o old_a dote_a fool_n than_o a_o wanton_a young_a filly_n but_o he_o will_v be_v very_o unhappy_a through_o jealousy_n what_o
