be_v you_o may_v be_v teach_v to_o make_v many_o other_o colour_n but_o it_o be_v to_o little_a purpose_n for_o doubtless_o the_o water_n or_o glass_n colour_a hair_n be_v the_o most_o choice_a and_o most_o useful_a for_o a_o angler_n but_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o colour_v hair_n green_a then_o do_v it_o thus_o take_v a_o quart_n of_o small_a ale_n half_o a_o pound_n of_o allome_n then_o put_v
