 3     7|        LVII~"The marrow of the lion and the bear~Didst thou
 4    10|    appear to see~Rough bear or lion issue even now,~Or tiger,
 5    10|     And that I so eschew wolf, lion, bear,~Torture, and dearth,
 6    10|    slave!~Rather than this may lion, wolf, or bear,~Tiger, or
 7    10|  Zerbino, view.~ ~ LXXXIV~"The lion 'twixt two unicorns behold~
 8    13|  wherein the bear,~Serpent, or lion, hid their savage brood,~

10    14|      Himself in the submissive lion feigns~The haughty Rodomont,
11    15|  praise, when you o'erbore~The lion of such might by sea, and
12    15|     peer by night or open day;~Lion and dragon oft of poisonous
13    17|   remote.~ ~ LXXIX~Thou mighty Lion, that art charged to keep~
14    17|    Like the ass mantled in the lion's hide,~As he expected,

17    20|        for ever singly go;~And lion, bear, and tyger, roam alone,~
18    25|      dwell;~Nor yet in rampant lion, nor in bear,~Nor (whether
19    26|       Buovo's bastard, seems a lion fell;~He, without pause,
20    26|       famine lean and dry,~And lion's claws; a fox in all the
21    26|      wrought in their array:~A lion seems against that monster

23    26|        with flowing rein,~Like lion, whom a bull upon his horns~
24    26|      war deferred,~Rather like lion roared than sighed: well
25    28| redound.~Rightly were prisoned lion, snake, and bear,~But ill
26    30|         never so~Raged wounded lion, as in fell despite~Raged
27    31|        ancestry:~Since neither lion from the doe proceeds,~Nor
28    31|         limpid waters well,~Or lion by the bearded goat and
29    40|      foot or horse,~For so the lion's beak and claws you tore,~
30    43|      stars, the cavalier,~Like lion, in whose veins a fever
