 2     3|        Thieved from an Indian queen by subtle guiles,~Has to
 3     7|       thou makest thy fancy's queen,~More than what other courtezans
 4    10|     Bireno loved the youthful queen~Were little; with less blaze
 5    10|       go, where I to reign~As queen was called, and this for
 6    10|      haply, like the gorgeous Queen of Nile,~In mortal slumber
 7    11|     countess makes a puissant queen.~But be the Paladin again
 8    12|  their ways the wanton Indian queen~Observes, and at their wonder
 9    13|     Aragon,~I of the gorgeous queen will silent be;~Than whom
10    18|   paladin salutes the martial queen.~ ~ CII~They questioned
11    19|     convey~The present to his queen, of whom I say.~ ~ XXXIX~
12    20| daughter of that matron bold,~Queen Orontea, that yet lived,
13    20|    the ten to kill.~ ~ XLVII~"Queen Orontea straightway bade
14    20|     suffered when he lost his queen.~The aged woman now, from
