 1     1| how much better, since our stake's the same,~Thou, loving
 2     4|   saves Genevra, doomed to stake and brand.~ ~ ~ I~Though
 3    14| scorn beneath the pounding stake~Strangely to die the death
 4    28|    lose a doit, his paltry stake,~Will that discourteous
 5    39|    realm and honour are at stake.~ ~ VI~"Let not this battle
 6    39|  some sort its force, that stake accurst~Had shield and helmet,
 7    43|    thousand against one to stake;~To hazard much where I
 8    43|   a peasant who with heavy stake~Smote mid some sapling trunks
 9    45|  adjudged to have lost the stake;~Nor him for husband can
10    45|    that life will promptly stake."~ ~ XLIX~Rogero is rescued;
