 1     I|      Among the thousands stout of Pagans bold,~Where naught behoves
 2     I|       foresee~From Egypt will the Pagans succored be."~ ~ XXIX~This
 3     I|           cross triumphant on the Pagans dead.~ ~ LXXIII~Meanwhile
 4    II| intercessors send."~ ~ XXXVII~The Pagans loud cried out to God and
 5    II|       threatened warfare from the Pagans bold:~To that I answer,
 6    II|          gifts presented to those Pagans vile;~Aletes had a helmet,
 7   III|           his sell down kest,~The Pagans shout for joy, and hopeful
 8   III|         sense.~But in ill time of Pagans thither came~A troop, and
 9   III|     pursued the same.~ ~ XXIX~The Pagans fled before their valiant
10   III|         city's wall,~When lo! the Pagans their fierce wrath renewed,~
11     V|       inclined;~Alone against the Pagans would he fight,~And kill
12    VI|          Christian people and the Pagans gazed,~On this fierce combat
13   VII|          kill a thousand of these Pagans base.~ ~ LXV~"Within these
14  VIII|          were fighting with these Pagans strong.~ ~ XI~"And while
15  VIII|           was some mighty host of Pagans near.~At these sad tidings
16  VIII|           and stout,~When lo, the Pagans to assault us came,~And
17  VIII|           token kept,~That of the Pagans' blood he drunk his share,~
18  VIII|        evil betide him mongst the Pagans wild,~And every one his
19  VIII|            That shield was to the Pagans often shown,~In many a hard
20    IX|        witch, at will~Destroy the Pagans, scatter all their host:~
21    IX|          run away full light,~The Pagans, mingled with the flying
22    IX|           slew the nearest of the Pagans' rout,~A worthy end, fit
23    IX|           forth they started:~The Pagans also saved their knight
24    IX|      valleys filled,~Hearting the Pagans that they shrinked not,~
25    IX|     proached near,~That still the Pagans' ire and rage provoke,~The
26    IX|          XCIV~But when he saw the Pagans shrink away,~He sounded
27    XI|            XII~Upon the walls the Pagans old and young~Stood hushed
28    XI|         grapple and to close,~The Pagans on each side the piece invade,~
29    XI|      didst discharge,~And let the Pagans bless thy hand for it,~For
30    XI|          And added courage to the Pagans most,~Was Guelpho's sudden
31    XI|          their foes so fierce the Pagans charge,~And with good-fortune
32    XI|            their engines lost the Pagans tore~In pieces small, their
33    XI|           they brake.~ ~ LXVI~The Pagans ran transported with their
34    XI|     assault again they start.~The Pagans twain this while themselves
35    XI|        that side~Gainst which the Pagans' force and battery bend,~
36  XIII|           if I fly, what will the Pagans say?~If I retire, who shall
37   XIV|           blood be shed, and many Pagans slain,~The holy city by
38  XVII|     Canario led,~Both kings, both Pagans, and both subjects be~To
39 XVIII|        force the town~Is won, the Pagans slain, walls beaten down.~ ~ ~
40 XVIII|           where encamped be these Pagans bold,~Will walk in every
41 XVIII|       shining glass,~The troubled Pagans saw, and seeing feared,~
42 XVIII|        fire, where heaped lie~The Pagans' weapons, where their engines
43 XVIII|     steeple, church or tower;~The Pagans trembled to behold the wall~
44 XVIII|      knights were entered and the Pagans slain,~This seen, the duke
45   XIX|          their forsaken walls the Pagans chase:~Yet neither force
46   XIX|           their hearts' blood the Pagans vile~This temple washed
47   XIX|       arms displayed.~ ~ XLIV~The Pagans gathered heart at last,
48   XIX|         That so their friends for Pagans may them know:~But in close
49    XX|          shout and joyful cry~The Pagans reared from their besieged
50    XX|        close remain;~And when the Pagans would our backs invade,~
51    XX|        and shield,~To earth these Pagans slain and wounded bring,~
52    XX|         give the deadly call,~The Pagans answer, and the fight accept;~
53    XX|     example good,~Killed were the Pagans, broke their bows and slings:~
54    XX|           was the aid~That to the Pagans, faint and weak, he brought,~
55    XX|           his friends;~Nor of the Pagans saw he squadron sound:~Each
