chance_v when_o hercules_n be_v young_a he_o go_v forth_o into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o light_v on_o a_o fork_a and_o cross_a way_n he_o stand_v still_o a_o good_a while_n doubt_v which_o way_n he_o

be_v very_o few_o that_o will_v follow_v hercules_n in_o this_o point_n moreover_o what_o the_o poet_n do_v declare_v of_o hercules_n that_o do_v the_o holy_a scripture_n true_o testify_v to_o have_v
