And it is doubtful if points of it
Among the problems And I beg of you And there are reasons
that confront us And it is not difficult And now the question why
And I call on you to see is asked me
An answer to this is And there is also this
now ready And I might say this And it is not plain And now, to close, let view
me give you
An argument has often And I refuse assent And it is one of the And therefore am I
