do_v he_o say_z tircis_o love_n astrea_n i_o have_v hear_v say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o most_o inveterate_a enmity_n betwixt_o their_o family_n the_o beauty_n of_o this_o shepherdess_n answer_v

be_v alive_a for_o he_o be_v so_o discreet_a and_o astrea_n so_o wise_a their_o affection_n can_v not_o offend_v any_o astrea_n hear_v what_o they_o say_v of_o she_o though_o her_o eye_n be_v not_o yet_o dry_a she_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o answer_v they_o these_o tear_n say_v she_o which_o i_o can_v hide_v do_v testify_v that_o celadon_n do_v love_v i_o but_o these_o manuscript_n do_v testify_v that_o astrea_n have_v rather_o offend_v against_o love_n then_o duty_n but_o to_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n after_o his_o death_n i_o will_v ingenuous_o confess_v more_o than_o decency_n will_v permit_v i_o when_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o say_v i_o do_v love_v he_o upon_o these_o word_n all_o the_o company_n come_v to_o she_o and_o diana_n show_v she_o the_o paper_n which_o she_o have_v in_o her_o hand_n be_v this_o say_v she_o celadon_n writing_n doubtless_o it_o be_v answer_v astrea_n then_o say_z diana_z it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v not_o dead_a unto_o which_o phillis_n answer_v that_o be_v it_o of_o which_o we_o have_v be_v speak_v but_o she_o tell_v i_o that_o celadon_n soul_n which_o wonder_v about_o the_o river_n lignon_fw-fr do_v write_v they_o why_o say_v tircis_n be_v he_o not_o bury_v that_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v astrea_n why_o he_o wander_v thus_o for_o they_o never_o make_v he_o a_o tomb_n this_o say_v paris_n be_v most_o careless_o do_v to_o let_v so_o brave_a a_o soul_n as_o celadon_n suffer_v so_o long_a pain_n for_o want_n of_o a_o little_a care_n you_o may_v see_v say_v tircis_n how_o little_a those_o that_o be_v alive_a do_v care_n for_o the_o dead_a so_o as_o i_o esteem_v they_o to_o be_v wise_a who_o bury_v themselves_o alive_a indeed_o say_v diana_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o this_o shepherd_n so_o much_o love_v and_o lament_v not_o only_o by_o all_o his_o kindred_n but_o by_o all_o the_o neighbourhood_n shall_v not_o have_v that_o charitable_a office_n do_v he_o which_o many_o have_v who_o be_v less_o love_v perhaps_o say_v thorsander_n the_o god_n do_v so_o ordain_v it_o to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v not_o so_o soon_o have_v that_o place_n he_o have_v so_o much_o love_v and_o be_v recompense_v with_o his_o love_n he_o have_v rather_o stay_v some_o while_n near_o she_o he_o have_v adore_v however_o i_o conceive_v say_v tircis_n that_o even_o as_o our_o body_n can_v be_v in_o the_o air_n water_n or_o fire_n without_o much_o pain_n because_o be_v ponderous_a and_o heavy_a they_o must_v perpetual_o be_v unquiet_a as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o such_o pure_a element_n as_o have_v no_o solidity_n in_o they_o to_o rest_v upon_o so_o the_o soul_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n not_o be_v in_o its_o proper_a element_n as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v among_o we_o be_v in_o continual_a pain_n until_o it_o enter_v into_o the_o elysian_a field_n where_o it_o will_v find_v another_o earth_n another_o air_n another_o water_n and_o another_o fire_n more_o perfect_a proper_a and_o suitable_a unto_o its_o nature_n then_o unto_o our_o dull_a and_o gross_a body_n and_o therefore_o when_o my_o dear_a and_o so_o much_o love_v cleon_n die_v i_o be_v in_o a_o resolution_n not_o to_o bury_v she_o that_o i_o may_v have_v retain_v her_o dear_a soul_n the_o long_o about_o i_o but_o our_o druid_n convince_v i_o of_o that_o error_n and_o tell_v i_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o for_o my_o part_n say_v sivander_n since_o for_o go_v of_o burial_n man_n shall_v stay_v some_o time_n long_o in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o die_v i_o hearty_o desire_v all_o my_o friend_n that_o if_o i_o do_v die_v in_o this_o country_n not_o to_o bury_v i_o that_o i_o may_v the_o long_o look_v upon_o my_o fair_a mistress_n for_o there_o be_v no_o joy_n in_o the_o elysian_a field_n comparable_a unto_o that_o bless_a vision_n nor_o any_o pain_n that_o a_o soul_n can_v suffer_v by_o be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a element_n but_o be_v recompense_v by_o it_o that_o will_v do_v very_o well_o say_z tircis_o if_o after_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o body_n we_o do_v retain_v our_o affection_n but_o our_o sage_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o passion_n be_v only_a ●ibutes_n of_o humanity_n and_o the_o god_n do_v bestow_v they_o upon_o we_o to_o the_o end_n the_o race_n of_o man_n shall_v not_o fail_v but_o after_o death_n soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o not_o in_o a_o capacity_n of_o engender_v our_o passion_n and_o our_o love_n be_v lose_v in_o it_o even_o as_o our_o desire_n of_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o sleep_v but_o say_v silvander_n if_o celadon_n do_v write_v these_o paper_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a he_o have_v lose_v his_o affection_n &_o love_n unto_o this_o shepherdess_n who_o know_v say_v tircis_n but_o that_o the_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_o just_a be_v please_v to_o give_v he_o that_o particular_a satisfaction_n in_o recompense_n of_o that_o pure_a and_o sacred_a affection_n which_o he_o have_v unto_o that_o shepherdess_n if_o so_o say_v silvander_n why_o shall_v not_o i_o hope_v to_o find_v the_o god_n as_o just_a and_o favourable_a unto_o i_o as_o he_o since_o my_o affection_n shall_v not_o yield_v unto_o he_o or_o any_o other_o either_o in_o purity_n or_o zeal_n but_o say_v astrea_n if_o the_o god_n do_v show_v he_o this_o as_o a_o favour_n will_v it_o not_o be_v impiety_n to_o deprive_v he_o of_o that_o contentment_n by_o endeavour_v to_o give_v he_o a_o burial_n and_o so_o set_v he_o out_o of_o this_o world_n no_o say_v tircis_n for_o the_o god_n do_v favour_n he_o in_o it_o only_o as_o a_o comfort_n in_o the_o pain_n which_o he_o be_v continual_o in_o be_v constrain_v to_o be_v absent_a from_o heaven_n so_o contrary_a to_o its_o nature_n the_o shepherd_n be_v thus_o discourse_v when_o phillis_n espy_v a_o place_n which_o seem_v as_o if_o
