the_o same_o at_o this_o day_n that_o it_o be_v two_o thousand_o year_n ago_o you_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o the_o modern_a italian_n shall_v appear_v so_o different_a from_o the_o ancient_n the_o

that_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o power_n of_o soul_n and_o a_o reach_n of_o thought_n which_o be_v altogether_o extraordinary_a so_o that_o the_o modern_a italian_n who_o by_o your_o own_o

ancient_a roman_n do_v force_v of_o mind_n make_v a_o man_n capable_a of_o great_a virtue_n or_o of_o great_a vice_n but_o it_o determine_v he_o to_o neither_o education_n discipline_n and_o
