 1    16|       nigh~Damascus city, with Martano vile.~Slaughtered the Saracens
 2    17|  tournament~Does mighty deeds; Martano turns his front,~Showing
 3    17|       Gryphon scorned, whom he Martano deemed.~ ~ ~ I~God, outraged
 4    17| worthily,~By name was cowardly Martano hight,~Thinking, because
 5    17|    lore.~ ~ LXXXVIII~When vile Martano from his place discerned~
 6    17|   there in fair array,~Fearful Martano, seized with panic dread,~
 7    17|       To earth, to his retreat Martano fled.~Gryphon remained,
 8    17|        scorn~Which on the vile Martano had been flung.~Hence, from
 9    17|     opprobrious shame to turn,~Martano now employs his lying tongue;~
10    17|       the populace should know~Martano base, they him might ill
11    17|    overcome with slumber, lie.~Martano and Origille, to take the
12    17|        into mortal head.~ ~ CX~Martano schemed to take away the
13    17|     through the ring.~The vile Martano, as a man who shares~The
14    18|      men o'erthrows.~Due pains Martano's cowardice requite.~A favouring
15    18|      To inform himself of that Martano bent;~And heard that he
16    18|   distance from Mamuga, throws~Martano in the avenging brother'
17    18|        avenging brother's way,~Martano travelling with the tourney'
18    18|         His brother he in vile Martano spied.~For arms and vest,
19    18|     Awhile on this ill-starred Martano chewed,~Revolving still
20    18|  throat; then tied~(Not sought Martano with his foe to cope)~The
21    18|         The hostile people all Martano bayed;~"And is not this (
22    18|        and 'tis ruled, to flea~Martano's body with the hangman'
