 1     2|     ill,~And rolled its heavy billows, white with foam.~The wind,
 2     2|   with humble sail~Before the billows, as the tempest rages.~But
 3     6|       for hand,~Beat back the billows, and returned to land.~ ~
 4     6|        whose eastern side~The billows of the Indian ocean beat,~
 5     7|       By pleasant breeze, the billows come and go.~Not prying
 6     8|  darked by loosened sails the billows grew;~For so desire upon
 7    11|      mighty noise return;~The billows swell, and, lo! the beast!
 8    11|    Orlando draws to land, the billows sweeping,~That horrid fish,
 9    11|  furrows , night and day, the billows green,~And strikes his sails
10    13|     From Hyperborean snows to billows red;~From Ind to hills,
11    15|      dry-shod would the briny billows clear,~And strains so nimbly
12    18|   shade,~The vext and fearful billows overlayed.~ ~ CXLIII~The
13    19|       and the sea more yeasty billows rears:~The fore-mast by
14    19|     by the stroke~Of the huge billows beating frequently,~Loosened
15    19|      their wretched ship, the billows through:~Her lofty prow
16    20|   search of plunder, o'er the billows borne.~With him a hundred
17    22|    veer outright,~Lest by the billows swampt his frigate be,~And
18    24|  stands as firm as rock which billows beat.~And so it happened,
19    30|      spurs his horse amid the billows high,~Wholly resolved to
20    30|       horribly the boisterous billows sound.~He now prepares to
21    35|      hear the hollow roar.~Of billows breaking on the sea-beach
22    39|   squadrons of such force the billows plow:~Nor would he have
23    40| lashed by boisterous gale~The billows the rash bark assault, and
24    41|   beam again.~Threatening the billows rise, with haughty brow,~
25    41|       their sight so high the billows leap,~It seems that these
26    41|   rise, and bounding with the billows go:~Their course, with head
27    43|      the cross~Lulls the loud billows when they highest toss;~ ~
