  3     6|          square or market-place!~Three thousand miles, without
  4     8|        rein, the lightened horse three times and more~Lashed from
  5     9|             VI~He sojourns there three days, the camp to see;~Still
  6    10| overtaken by a squall,~And drive three days the open sea before:~
  7    10|           amid the sea,~He found three ladies of Alcina's court,~
  8    10|       Kindled the third of those three damsels fair.~ ~ XLI~As

 22    17|        polished scale,~Darts his three tongues, fire flashing from
 23    17|        and Oliver; and, with the three,~Avino, Avolio, Otho, and
 24    17|         our pilot hoar.~Drifting three days and nights at random,
 25    17|      reached the cave, was seen.~Three youths of ours, ere yet
 26    17|        on Satalia's strand,~And, three days past, arrived on Syrian
 27    17|        he couched before,~And in three pieces broke it on the shield~
 28    18|         somedeal reproached, the three conferred~As to what penance
 29    18|        Gryphon arrived where the three friends had gained~A bridge,
 30    18|    sheathed the breast~(Cleft in three places) showed a crown imprest.~ ~
 31    19|        the tempest fell.~And now three days the angry gale has
 32    20|   hideous when adorned the most.~Three days the tedious road the
 33    21|     secure withal,~By Heaven! at three miles' distance from his
 34    22|       for dame and cavalier~Did, three days past, a shameful law
 35    22|       the usage, which began~But three days since, you now, sir
 36    22|          reply:~Nor these beyond three miles had fared, when they~
 37    22|    before been said."~And to the three forthwith began to tell~
 38    22|       attend.~ ~ LXXVI~The other three, who from the fortress came,~
 39    22|     Foremost appeared 'mid those three knights of pride,~Of Burgundy'

 41    22|               LXXXIII~Save these three times, he has preserved
 42    22|   a-field~As boldly, as if those three enemies,~Who were arrayed
 43    23|          more sage~And sure than three, to do my embassage."~ ~
 44    23|         should set.~ ~ LXVII~The three in silence journey to a
 45    23|        kind, with headlong force~Three miles in rings had gone,
 46    23|      That he, Orlando, would for three days more.~Waiting him,
 47    23|     present bitter fruit.~ ~ CXI~Three times, and four, and six,
 48    25|      feast, where Plenty for the three~Emptied her horn, him honoured
 49    25|         unturned.~ ~ XCVII~Those three adventurous warriors halted
 50    26|          earth.~ ~ IV~When those three of that warrior were espied,~
 51    26|          And hold you surely for three cavaliers~That seldom upon
 52    26|       arms laid claim~With those three warriors, for the strife
 53    26|       course,~Till in succession three had prest the plain.~A mark
 54    26|       circled with imperial bay;~Three youths with him in company
 55    26|          has he at heart.~ ~ XCV~Three hundred miles, a thousand,
 56    26|       his limbs arrayed;~And he, three times or four, to left and
 57    27|         Rogero and those paynims three~Defeated, Charlemagne to
 58    27|          and those other furious three,~Thank God that he had given
 59    27|   withdrew.~And thus among those three began a feud;~And thence
 60    27|      famous knights contend,~For three days shall the wretch's
 61    27|        tower, which distant nigh~Three leagues, o'erlooks a little
 62    28|            III~Let him who will, three leaves or four pass-by,~
 63    29|          by one is said,~Distant three miles and more; and, in
 64    29|       breast.~ ~  XXVI~This made three bounds, and thence in accents
 65    29|     loaded sore,~And carried her three bow-shots' length and more.~ ~
 66    30|        in the career;~For two or three fell flaming from on high,~
 67    32|        the way,~Ullania with the three kings who rode before.~These
 68    32|         o'erpast by one,~By two, three, six, by eight, by twenty
 69    32|         road, towards her steer.~Three knights were nigh, and --
 70    32|          each puissant peer.~All three are monarchy who the dame
 71    32|        few or none.~ ~ LV~"These three, whose kingdoms at some
 72    32|        shall retrieve~One of you three, in his own virtue strong;~
 73    32|     naked sky.~ ~ LXVII~"If two. three, four, or more, seek shelter,
 74    32|      with little speed.~ ~ LXXII~Three cavaliers they were, of
 75    32|         water.~ ~ LXXVII~When at three strokes she had unhorsed
 76    32|   journeyed, with those monarchs three,~As I related, sent from
 77    33|          Marca, of the Anjouites three.~How "Marsi, Daunians, Salentines," (
 78    33|           Death,~Even now I pray three stop my fleeting breath!"~ ~
 79    33|         her arrival stayed~Those three good warriors, those the
 80    33|         Her lance she levels, at three strokes extends~All three
 81    33|        three strokes extends~All three on earth, and thus the warfare
 82    33|        and solid, able to endure~Three strokes alone of such conflicting
 83    33|          courser -- prest.~Above three yards in length appeared
 84    34|         nor as yet those sainted three~Have seen corruption, but
 85    34|          Maker less,~He only for three months, by will divine,~
 86    35|         successively o'erthrown,~Three kings she quickly upon earth
 87    36|       shall turn.~ ~ XXXIX~Above three hundred men in that affray~
 88    37|     heard:~When in a valley they three women found~Making that
 89    37|          to the navel were those three ungowned,~-- Their coats
 90    37|         honoured of those ladies three,~Demanding, who so full
 91    37|         say,~Nor knows she those three monarchs' destiny,~Who guided
 92    37|       their weary way repose the three.~ ~  XXXV~They to a hamlet
 93    37|        eve are furnished for the three,~If meaner than their own,
 94    37|        honour, sir, and of those three,~Beneath your charge, to
 95    37|      trample, when those warlike three~Look down the vale and roll
 96    37|        the vale,~Than those bold three are quicker to assail.~ ~
 97    37|       and the youthful peer;~Who three of those forsaken horses
 98    37|      horses took,~To mount those three, whom, through the day before,~
 99    37|    before,~Upon their croups the three good coursers bore.~ ~ XCVII~
100    37|           Whom those illustrious three had doomed to die,~Mid trouble,
101    37|         golden shield,~And those three monarchs that were prisoned
102    39|       LXXVI~Yet sometimes two or three their lips unclose,~-- Some
103    40|    Zerbinat, Bagno, the Ariostos three,~Assured me of the mighty
104    40|          own brand;~Pierced with three wounds whereof he shortly
105    40|    Astolpho's hand;~The monarchs three, intrusted to whose care~
106    40|         share.~ ~ LVI~From those three monarchs to the cavalier~
107    40|          known~How none of those three warriors had his own.~ ~
108    40|        wandering from their camp three miles and more,~It chanced
109    40|         ground.~But ere of these three warriors more be shown,~
110    41|      fiercely charge the hostile three.~Sobrino is left wounded
111    41|       the roaring swell.~ ~ XVII~Three times and four the pale-faced
112    41|          Africk's strand,~Two or three miles of waste Biserta wide,~
113    41|      rear,~When point device the three accoutred are.~Bold Sansonet
114    43|       Melissa brought,~Who moved three thus to anger wasps; and
115    43|    already on their way~Were the three Christian warriors, homeward
116    43|        the name of those eternal Three,~The Father, and the Son,
117    45|    emperor will arise,~Though he three times and four the dame
118    46|        fasting from all food~For three long days, so broken down;
119    46|        Will went to Bulgary when three months are done;~Save Fortune
120    46|       wrought.~ ~ LXXXV~Here the three Graces in gay vesture gowned~
