but_o in_o the_o pen_n i_o be_o write_v with_o so_o that_o i_o be_o but_o a_o cold_a writer_n nay_o the_o very_a thought_n seem_v to_o be_v freeze_v in_o my_o brain_n for_o they_o love_v very_o slow_o as_o if_o they_o be_v stupefy_v only_o my_o love_n to_o your_o ladyship_n keep_v warm_a in_o my_o heart_n indeed_o your_o love_n do_v help_v to_o maintain_v the_o fire_n of_o life_n i_o know_v not_o how_o cold_a it_o be_v at_o the_o pole_n for_o i_o never_o be_v there_o in_o person_n but_o in_o my_o imagination_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v cold_o there_o than_o it_o be_v here_o at_o this_o present_a time_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v almost_o think_v that_o this_o cold_a have_v travel_v from_o the_o pole_n hither_o but_o this_o thought_n of_o i_o will_v be_v contradict_v through_o two_o reason_n the_o one_o that_o cold_a move_v slow_o although_o to_o bring_v reason_n against_o reason_n it_o seem_v probable_a that_o cold_a be_v very_o quick_a for_o it_o catch_v every_o mankind_n by_o the_o finger_n and_o by_o the_o nose_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o come_v near_o they_o even_o as_o soon_o as_o burn_a fire_n will_v do_v and_o much_o soon_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o cold_a in_o the_o long_a journey_n will_v get_v itself_o a_o heat_n and_o so_o be_v by_o the_o way_n but_o leave_v these_o reason_n though_o the_o sense_n know_v not_o from_o what_o place_n or_o part_n cold_n come_v or_o what_o it_o cause_n yet_o they_o know_v that_o we_o have_v here_o at_o this_o time_n cold_a with_o all_o its_o potent_a strength_n as_o a_o army_n of_o flake_n of_o snow_n with_o ammunition_n of_o hail_n for_o bullet_n and_o wind_n for_o powder_n also_o huge_a ship_n of_o ice_n which_o float_v in_o the_o main_a sea_n and_o stop_v up_o all_o the_o narrow_a river_n also_o cold_a and_o its_o army_n shoot_v forth_o the_o pierce_v dart_n which_o fly_v so_o thick_a and_o fast_o and_o be_v so_o sharp_a as_o they_o enter_v into_o every_o poor_a of_o the_o flesh_n of_o all_o animal_n creature_n whereby_o many_o animal_n be_v wound_v with_o numbness_n and_o die_v insensible_o although_o mankind_n bring_v what_o strength_n they_o can_v get_v against_o cold_a as_o a_o army_n of_o fur_n where_o every_o hair_n stand_v out_o like_o a_o squadron_n of_o pike_n to_o resist_v cold_a be_v assault_n and_o ammunition_n of_o coal_n serve_v for_o bullet_n and_o ash_n for_o powder_n with_o great_a log_n

be_v turkey_n capon_n goose_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o swim_v in_o a_o large_a sea_n of_o wine_n beer_n and_o ale_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o be_v beat_v into_o the_o chimney-corner_n and_o there_o we_o sit_v shake_v and_o tremble_v like_o a_o company_n of_o coward_n that_o dare_v not_o stir_v from_o their_o shelter_n and_o many_o in_o the_o sea-fight_n have_v be_v drown_v from_o
