 1   Int|    consequences if his two best knights kill each other in combat)
 2   Int|        on, the stories of other knights and their loves are mixed
 3     1|          I~OF LOVES and LADIES, KNIGHTS and ARMS, I sing,~Of COURTESIES,
 4     1|         His feet; for while the knights in combat close,~Him vexed
 5     1|        deadly will~As those two knights, the stranger and the king.~
 6     2|         kindling into wrath the knights engage:~One is on foot,
 7     2|       enchanter so deceives the knights,~They view him not, and
 8     2|    After long time, saw neither knights nor page,~Nor aught beside
 9     4|         to snare,~And dames and knights, and more of high degree,~
10     4|        who~With all those other knights below were met,~Where'er,
11     4|        French, Norse, of German knights, a numerous train.~Let none,
12     5|        her right.~ ~  LXXXI~Six knights on foot within the palisade~
13     6|     Where good Rinaldo and more knights beside~With me were pent
14     8|         restore;~Rinaldo levies knights and squadrons, pressed~In
15     9|         had been before~All the knights errant, who had sought that
16     9|        the land,~Both lords and knights, is with the single view,~
17    11|        Orlando freed, with many knights and good,~From Dragontina'
18    12|       on the breast~Of both the knights, of whom I sing, was tied;~
19    12|       Atlantes lies~To stop the knights from mounting, who repair~
20    12|          Against that flower of knights, their feathered reeds,~
21    15|        King Bambirago, 'mid his knights of price,~And Baliverso,
22    15|    LXVII~He here Orrilo and two knights in mail~Found at fierce
23    18|       Their virtuous deeds, all knights of valour tried~The Syrian
24    18|      Ranged here and there, the knights of gentle race.~The guerdons
25    18|   encounter bore to ground~What knights he smote with it; and on
26    18|       joy and triumph dwell~The knights with Norandine; but with
27    19|      hundred men.~ ~ LXXIII~The knights determining by lot to try~
28    20|     Dudo, Sansonet, and all~The knights or footmen harboured in
29    21|       serve Heraclius, 'mid his knights arrayed,~Who then the Grecian
30    22|    happy hour, until~A thousand knights and dames are dispossest~
31    22|     vest.~ ~ LII~"Four puissant knights arrived that very day~It
32    22|      spurred in bold career~The knights, with their huge lances
33    22|         beats,~And to the other knights the sign repeats.~ ~ LXXI~
34    22|       appeared 'mid those three knights of pride,~Of Burgundy's
35    22|       his foes.~ ~  LXXXVII~The knights, together with the footmen
36    22|       mouth to mouth was blown,~Knights out of number undertook
37    24|  preserve them safe from errant knights,~Natives or foreigners,
38    25|     arrived, where, in disport,~Knights were reposing by a stream,
39    25|        by King Troyano's son~To knights whom he awaited in his need;~
40    25|    strong.~The traitor will the knights, if rendered, slay;~Nor
41    26|         face displayed:~Her the knights honoured much, and to declare~
42    26|          Nor had till now those knights encountered more:~When Mandricardo
43    26|        chase of those offending knights to fare,~Is the conclusion
44    27|       have agreed~Those valiant knights, who will not balk their
45    27|    world had ever brought~Those knights, but that the worthy king
46    27|     that in pride~Surpassed all knights that ever girt the sword,~
47    27|         no worse evil mid these knights betide,~While for this new
48    27|      King Troyane~Heard the two knights their jarring claims propound.~
49    27|     vengeance, when such famous knights contend,~For three days
50    30|   scimetar or sword in hand)~Of knights, with a spear's truncheon
51    30|       to the starry sphere.~The knights unsheathed their faulchions
52    30|          The favourers of those knights, with change of cheer,~Some
53    31|     ground.~ ~ IX~Between those knights no further parley past:~
54    31|         half another, stood~The knights in battle; and the golden
55    32|        towards her steer.~Three knights were nigh, and -- at the
56    32|   drawbridge dropt, and issuing knights espied.~ ~ LXXV~When she
57    32|      the drawbridge clear~Those knights, together or scarce sundered,
58    32|       Sweden, foremost of those knights,~In falling too is foremost
59    32|     alone,~And Clodion with his knights remain without.~Against
60    34|       speed;~Wherein a thousand knights might well have died;~But
61    35| permitted to depart~Those other knights that in his faith were bred:~
62    36|   Bradamant forbore~To harm the knights whom, smitten on the shield,~
63    36|            XXIV~This while some knights (some knights upon our side,~
64    36|        while some knights (some knights upon our side,~I say) forth
65    37|      some few days before those knights of pride~With her victorious
66    38|       that, on either side,~Two knights by strife their quarrel
67    39|       Astolpho and those banded knights along.~Meanwhile upstarted
68    40|      With equal number of armed knights to be,~Matching his foes,
69    40|         Then, nearer, mid those knights of mickle vaunt,~Nasamon'
70    42|       one, the ladies and their knights.~ ~ LXXXIII~The first inscription
71    43|   stands, benign, those warlike knights between,~Eschewing in their
72    44|         Dispatched, to meet the knights, as far as Saone;~And from
73    44|        Damsel and dame upon the knights below. ~ ~ XXXIII~At every
74    46|         whom the best of living knights we see;~Who, save ye help
75    46|       end.~ ~ XXIV~"The best of knights will die of all, who don,~
