Canto

 1     1|        youthful queen,~"And God preserve my honour in his care,~Nor
 2     5|         right,~Because he would preserve a maid so fair,~Perils his
 3    10|       sun shall burn, or heaven preserve their stile,~Or Clotho had
 4    18|        his person and his place preserve.~ ~ CLVIII~That king, who
 5    20|      Each mother should one boy preserve, and slay~The others, or
 6    21|      longer would abide;~And to preserve his faith, as lures increased,~
 7    23|      consigned:~And she for him preserve the martial weed;~Since
 8    24|      trophy, on a pine.~And, to preserve them safe from errant knights,~
 9    28|       between us two,~Could not preserve the one by us possest,~A
10    38|         ever buy.~ ~ III~Yet to preserve our honour not alone~Deserves
11    38|     also merits praise:~This to preserve, I say, when to have done~
12    41|       alone attend,~And only to preserve their life have care.~Who
13    43| perpetual peace, perpetual love~Preserve thee in abundance and delight;~
