11   1|          Here begins the Tale of the Two Lovers~ ~ THE city of Siena,
12   1|             and splendour conquered, two pleasant gifts of fortune
13   3|              on like that, then, for two or three or even ten men
14   5|            The meeting was fixed for two days later, and these days
15   5|             journey delayed them for two months. And all that time,

19   9|              out on either side like two pomegranates, so that one
20  11|             was walking one day with two girls and an old woman,

29  18|           one old woman. Arrange for two or three of your men to
30  19|        consider the parting of these two lovers, although this sorrow
31  19|             feels anything. But when two are bound together by love
32  19|           And here, indeed, were not two spirits but, as Aristotle
33  19|              it to be among friends, two bodies made from one soul.
