Canto

 1     3|        And the prophetic ghost of Merlin told,~Thou to this cave
 2     3|      ancient memorable cave~Which Merlin, that enchanter sage, did
 3     3|       solemn mysteries I scanned,~Merlin to me the truth should better
 4     3|          have tarried here;~Since Merlin, still with certain knowledge
 5     3|         bones and spirit, erst of Merlin's name.~The tomb, of hardest
 6     3|       from thine own."~ ~ XX~Here Merlin ceased, that for the solemn
 7     3|     spirits bent.~And they, where Merlin's ancient bones reposed,~
 8     3|        the best part in talk with Merlin spends;~While with persuasive
 9     7|      Where the prophetic homes of Merlin lie,~And there lament herself
10     7|        The vocal tomb, containing Merlin's clay,~Concealed in Alpine
11    11|           and trance~Made vain by Merlin's stair; and on a day~Orlando
12    12|         starlings from the daring merlin flee;~So, of that broken
13    13|        vulgar herd withdrew,~Sage Merlin from the hollow stone divined.~
14    13|       note of this as well,~Which Merlin said of thy descendents'
15    22|        whom she wended,~Cast into Merlin's tomb the martial may;~
16    26|       those in France produced by Merlin's sleight;~Encompassed round
17    26|     British throne,~This fountain Merlin made, enchanter sage;~Who
18    29|         he plucks out, to satisfy~Merlin or falcon that the game
19    32|      false and feigned,~If famous Merlin's counsel was untrue,~Wrath
20    32|         Rogero less.~ ~ XXV~"Both Merlin and Melissa have I need~
21    33|        Demons' might,~Was made by Merlin in a single night.~ ~ V~
22    33| thousandth year,~By the prophetic Merlin painted were.~Hither Great
23    33|        Without the ripe advice of Merlin sage,~(Merlin, I say, the
24    33|           advice of Merlin sage,~(Merlin, I say, the Devils mighty
25    33|       surround.~ ~ X~"To him sage Merlin shows, that well nigh all~
26    33|           his arms elsewhere;~And Merlin, who beheld with sight as
27    33|        Heaven adorn.~ ~ XXX~"Sage Merlin said -- and oft renewed
28    33|          XXXI~"Lewis, (so learned Merlin said,) is woe~To have brought
29    33|           displayed,~Of whom sage Merlin, with prophetic word,~To
