with_o they_o and_n what_o i_o once_o learn_v from_o they_o i_o now_o remember_v much_o better_a by_o thy_o help_n than_o i_o use_v to_o do_v whilst_o i_o have_v my_o own_o eye_n to_o trust_v to_o and_o be_o in_o less_o need_n of_o any_o eye_n to_o see_v it_o for_o i_o over_o again_o and_o therefore_o instead_o of_o repine_v that_o i_o have_v lose_v my_o eye_n i_o will_v adore_v and_o thank_v
