109    37|          well fitting, that such valiant wight~Should joy a thing
110    37|       against the cavalier;~And, valiant as she was and full of might,~

127    41|        and Marphisa hence, those valiant two,~With fire and sword
128    41|     smites; but vain~Against the valiant count is every blow;~To
129    41|       Sericana's pride,~Desirous valiant Brandimart to aid,~Even
130    41|         and beneath him lies~His valiant master, nor his foot can
131    42| accompany;~But he refuses either valiant friend:~From Paris he departs,
132    44|      Therein arrives King Otho's valiant son.~To Paris thence: where
