 3     2|            to the dame,~Who out of Afric passed with Agramant;~Rogero
 4     9|            Are camped the hosts of Afric and of Spain;~ ~ III~Rather
 5    14|            dread,~'Twixt Spain and Afric and their Gallic foe,~Countless
 6    14|            two kings who Spain and Afric lead,~To give new order
 7    14|           recruit, was sent to the Afric shore~By Agramant, returned
 8    15|            way.~Others I see coast Afric, and pursue~So far the negroes'

10    15|           Which Julius ever won on Afric's strand,~Or in thine isle,
11    17|          in near Egypt, Turkey, or Afric lay,~The king bade seek
12    17|             hast thou not fruitful Afric nigh?~And has she not in
13    20| neighbouring main,~That might from Afric or from Egypt bring~Victual
14    25| battle-field, and near the sea,~In Afric, in Arzilla, saw the light;~
