 9     6|      talking thus the bridge and river see,~And at her post the
10     7|          sword anew:~Pass we the river, and our way pursue."~ ~
11     9|          land to land he goes,~A river's side he reaches on a day;~
12     9|        the other eyed,~Along the river's channel, to explore,~Since
13     9|          A port, where Antwerp's river met the main.~ ~ XVIII~As

23    15|          duke desired to see the river's fall,~And how far Nile
24    15|         was hight;~Thence to the river's outlet past, and spied~
25    16|       leagues above, he o'er the river's bed~Had cast a bridge;

33    23|       For the mead's boundary or river's right,~Armed with two
34    24|          builded by the spacious river's side,~Discerned, from

45    29|        intent~Him into that deep river to dispatch,~Nor deeming
46    29|   towards that bridge across the river rode,~Richly arraid and
47    29|        peer,~And would into that river pitch the knight.~She, conversant
