  3     5|        to my shame:~Though, in a thousand certain signs betrayed,~
  4     6|    square or market-place!~Three thousand miles, without repose, he
  5     6|        Tis then I weet~I share a thousand lovers' fate, whom she~Had
  6     6|          apply~To the ill, which thousand others could not fly."~ ~
  7     7|        better sped;~And cursed a thousand times the hour that she~
  8     7|     corporal rind;~The spring of thousand palms and festal mirth,~
  9     7|         the change is wrought,~A thousand fathoms deep he fain would
 10     8|           Its beams, as proved a thousand times before,~Work as they
 11     8|     heavenly footsteps through~A thousand deaths, to bear the damsel
 12    10|        while I~Am made by thee a thousand deaths to die.~ ~  XXX~"

 15    10|       forest brown,~They sixteen thousand are, or little less;~Visage,
 16    11|  thousands of strange wheels and thousand slides,~The monster follows
 17    12|      vest, nor cloths supply,~In thousand folds about the temples
 18    13|         fame pretend.~But from a thousand I some two or three~Will
 19    13|         maid,~(Counsel she had a thousand times bestowed)~Then left,
 20    14|         Trojan Hector's breast~A thousand years before, he made his

 25    15|          vessels turn,~Opening a thousand isles on either hand,~Scattered
 26    15|         will be won;~Ten chase a thousand of the flying foe,~Realms

 30    15|          had no power.~A hundred thousand wounds he had in strife~
 31    15|      renewed.~ ~ LXXXIII~After a thousand blows, Astolpho sped~One
 32    15|         stature,~Not one among a thousand meets the sight:~But faithless,
 33    16|         again to see~Two hundred thousand wretched men or more~Burnt
 34    16|        Edward, sent a force,~Six thousand strong, of archer infantry,~
 35    16|       And sped, with Ariman, two thousand horse~Of lightest sort;
 36    16|    greater ill~Works there, than thousand others of the foe --~And
 37    17|            This had its lord mid thousand others chose;~And, but '

 45    19|   forlorn,~Unsung, who wrought a thousand feats in vain~For this ungrateful
 46    19|           And there, without, in thousand places lone,~And in as many
 47    19|         and wide,~Than a hundred thousand swords dismayed them more.~
 48    19|       martial garb and mien,~Six thousand women trooped, with bow

 55    20|          first charge: nor, in a thousand, one~The other feat, of

 63    22|        prisoned lead;~Him from a thousand swords, a thousand spears,~
 64    22|        from a thousand swords, a thousand spears,~We vow to save;
 65    22|       know a happy hour, until~A thousand knights and dames are dispossest~
 66    23|         her heart Rogero lies,~A thousand times to her she had confessed;~
 67    23|         the other arms I bear,~A thousand years ago great Hector's
 68    23| shattered lances fly,~Broke in a thousand pieces, to the sky.~ ~ LXXXIII~

 72    24|        circle flinch.~ ~ CII~Mid thousand blows, so, with two-handed
 73    25|           in my hand~More than a thousand shall avail this brand.~ ~

 75    26|       font;~And for Rogero and a thousand more,~And all the world
 76    27|       nigh~Unearthed, and with a thousand blows pursued;~When from

 87    30|         greater need~Than of ten thousand more, amid which crew~They
 88    30|          Whose signal blanched a thousand cheeks with fear.~Levelled
 89    31|         hundred would not from a thousand fly;~And, better than some
 90    31|        fond caress,~And kissed a thousand times, or little less.~ ~

109    37|          We scarce of one amid a thousand hear;~And this because they
