  2     1|      Now well remembered by the royal maid.~ ~ XLVI~He for her
  3     2|    flowing rein,~Rode, till the royal city rose before~His eyes;
  4     2|      Prepared himself to do the royal hest.~To Calais the good
  5     2|        sea,~To her was given by royal Charlemagne:~Such trust
  6     4|   winged steed.~Obediant to the royal Charles's beck,~He who had
  7     4|      death and shame,~He to the royal damsel will unite,~With
  8     4|         dower, well suited to a royal dame;~So that the valiant
  9     5|      with the maid.~He with her royal sire might well succeed,~
 10     5|      ample dower,~Who saves the royal maid from infamy.~But each

 15    12|      With the appearance of the royal maid,~Or the foul thief
 16    12|        But the discovery of the royal maid,~Who like a flash of
 17    12|   companions on the ground,~The royal maid a bleeding stripling
 18    12|         Often inquiring for the royal dame:~Beside himself, he
 19    13|       loud, appear~In arms, the royal Agramant before:~Who bids
 20    14|    Marmonda's men next past the royal Moor,~Who left Argosto dead
 21    14|    Those horsemen to defend the royal bride,~Committed by their
 22    14|    labour's fruit, although~The royal damsel showed, who sorely
 23    14|        shun,~If it were not for royal Ulien's son.~ ~ CXXVIII~
