 2     9|      monarch had no more),~To Holland sent the worthiest of his
 3     9|      high disdain,~He entered Holland, and the war began,~In which
 4     9|    brethren dead,~The isle of Holland's only heir, the king~Of
 5     9|       woo in vain,~Till he to Holland should return from Spain.~ ~
 6     9|     sent, and that with me in Holland stayed.~Now, while both
 7     9| Biscay (the tidings went)~For Holland had equipt an armament.~ ~
 8     9|   harboured vessel's side,~In Holland, Roland disembarks, not
 9     9|    indite~Yet more of him, to Holland I resort,~And you to hear
10    10|   meery cheer.~ ~ XVI~Already Holland and its headlands all~Are

13    11|       and Scotland's made)~In Holland and in Friesland left no
14    21|  warrior knew,~(Hermonides of Holland he was hight)~That bore
15    21|    spears.~ ~ X~Hermonides of Holland levelled low,~And for the
16    21|    youthful peer~Set out from Holland's isle, our natal ground,~
