 2     5|      nights, four, six, and often ten, the fair~Receives me with
 3     5|         with better heart~Than if ten others fought upon his part.~ ~
 4     5|          his dim retreat:~And not ten paces from the knight aloof,~
 5     9|         had driven the band.~Here ten, there twenty, seven or
 6    10|           herself, and who~Was by ten fiends possessed, instead
 7    11|       sally more achieves~Than at ten turns the circling windlass
 8    15|        new countries will be won;~Ten chase a thousand of the
 9    15|      single strain;~With that, by ten good serjeants overseen,~
10    15|         unmeasured beast,~That it ten draught horse burdens had
11    16|        yet in Paris we~Six out of ten no better builded see.~ ~
12    17|         the south wind. Of forty, ten, with pain,~Swimming aboard
13    17|     pursue the brindled beast for ten,~Or twenty yards, and, after,
14    17|        with a massy spear,~Out of ten others chosen as the best;~
15    18|          by Olivero's son;~Who at ten cuts or thrusts, in fury
16    18|             CXXXIII~Eight days or ten in joy and triumph dwell~
17    19|          eschew~That in the lists ten champions overbore,~And
18    19|          night~In bed should with ten damsels take delight.~ ~
19    19|           there must stay and wed~Ten wives by him selected for
20    19|        the matron said),~"That he ten men of ours engage in fight,~
21    19|       them dead,~And, after, with ten women, in one night,~Suffice
22    19|           would be free,~Can with ten dames the husband's part
23    19|      warrior fall or flee,~By his ten enemies at once attacked,~
24    19|         Excepting, as I said, the ten; to follow~The ancient usage
25    19|           ground,~Should slay the ten, with whom they were to
26    19|            And in the other field ten others wound,~Designed to
27    19|        the northern wain,~Saw her ten opposites appear: among~
28    19|          stood aside,~Who had the ten conducted to the place,~
29    19|           tourney, consort was of ten.~ ~ CIV~"The scathe they
30    20|            through~Eight horns or ten to meet the Euxine pour,~
31    20|     hither; lodged in royal bower~Ten months or more; for -- miserable
32    20|           of Meliboea I~Slew with ten warriors in his company.~ ~
33    20|         in other field confessed,~Ten ladies are the partners
34    20|    another who in fight,~Like me, ten opposites to death would
35    20|          host~Returned from Troy (ten years hostility~The town
36    20|       hostility~The town endured, ten weary years were tost~The
37    20|           this place of rest,~For ten days, to that roving company:~
38    20|  conducted to this bay,~Chose out ten vigorous cavaliers and fair;~
39    20|     husband was assigned to every ten.~ ~ XXXI~"Ere this, too
40    20|          lost his head.~Now these ten warriors so approved the

42    20|          by lot selected from the ten.~ ~ XXXVI~"To that foul
43    20|       were dead and gone;~And now ten times as many such or more~
44    20|     greater credit grown.~Nor for ten forges, often closed, in
45    20|           files than one;~And the ten champions have as well the
46    20|          more torment.'~`So I the ten encounter,' (said again~
47    20|          with his single hand the ten to kill.~ ~ XLVII~"Queen
48    20|        this, alone~Battle against ten others to maintain;~And
49    20|       since to strive against our ten,~It seems, that one imprisoned
50    20|   partakers of our company;~That, ten to one, we be not overlaid;~
51    20|            If one can singly slay ten men in fight,~How many women
52    20|           he not restrain?~If our ten champions had possessed
53    20|    prisoner speed~So that he kill ten champions in the fray,~A
54    20|        way.~-- Yet if he of those ten supply the place,~And please
55    20|           hundred women, but with ten;~And, furnished to his wish
56    20|      dungeon-den,~And singly with ten warriors matched in plain,~
57    20|          following night,~Against ten damsels naked and alone;~

59    20|       guide, should sway,~And his ten consorts at his choice renew:~
60    20|        fane.~If he, Elbanio-like, ten foes assay,~(And such sometimes
61    20|          but who~Reigned with his ten short time, was Argilon:~
62    20|      satisfied~Ere death; for oft ten thousand, maid and wife,~
63    20|          nor made a stop,~Not for ten days her headlong flight
64    20|   Preserved beyond her date, some ten or score~Of years, to harass
