the_o world_n before_o we_o have_v be_v so_o much_o transport_v with_o the_o admiration_n of_o wisdom_n let_v it_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o ass_n to_o carry_v a_o burden_n of_o gold_n which_o he_o know_v not_o the_o worth_n of_o it_o be_v his_o portion_n and_o let_v he_o bear_v it_o but_o if_o balaam_n be_v a_o fool_n that_o ride_v upon_o he_o the_o ass_n may_v chance_v to_o speak_v as_o
