  4     1|       head,~Ere, as she weened, a courser's tramp she knew.~Softly
  5     1|        Replaced the bridle on his courser fleet,~Grappled his lance,

 17     2|        LXX~So said, he pushed his courser up the height~Of that lone
 18     4|         other's lips,~A feathered courser, sailing through the rack,~
 19     4|           her horse,~She from the courser on her feet descends:~To
