 1     2|         a knight,~Prized in the Moorish court, Rogero hight.~ ~
 2     6|       his need,~Obedient to the Moorish wizard flew,~The friendly
 3     8|         day had perished by the Moorish lance~The holy empire and
 4     9|          He wholly searched the Moorish army through.~In that the
 5    10| squadron's head,~Who means with Moorish blood to paint it red."~ ~
 6    14|   strain,~Of all the chiefs who Moorish squadrons led;~And Paris-town (
 7    14|         Tidings had reached the Moorish sovereign's ear~That the
 8    14|       assay.~ ~ XCIX~He who the Moorish monarch's force would tell,~
 9    14|        hurried to the storm the Moorish rout.~ ~ CX~Upon their walls
10    16|         of France,~The wavering Moorish files betray their fear;~
11    16|       with a command~Behind the Moorish tents to make his way,~And
12    16|     river, where he guessed~The Moorish host might most his presence
13    16|        And spurs his horse, the Moorish chief to spill.~He smote
14    18|   Almontes' memory, through the Moorish bands,~Makes every bosom
15    18|      one on all sides thins the Moorish rank,~The other slays Scot,
16    18|     CLVII~He bids forthwith the Moorish ensigns be~Borne to the
17    24|        was manifest.~ ~ CIX~The Moorish messenger not only knows,~
18    24|     Dispatch, for rescue of the Moorish host.~ ~ CXI~The lady, with
19    24|     truce, and till the day~The Moorish siege was raised, their
20    25|         is delayed,~Till to the Moorish camp they furnish aid.~ ~
21    25|      other paynim cavalier,~The Moorish host from siege to disengage,~
22    25|    warrior's aid~From siege the Moorish monarch to relieve,~That
23    26|      crew~Were better marked in Moorish habit stoled,~For Saracens
24    26|    Bertolagi heard,~As with the Moorish captain he conferred.~ ~
25    27|    heard:~But first is felt the Moorish sabre's blow:~Even on the
26    27|       stroke~Till hunted to the Moorish camp she flies,~Then thus: "
27    27|       in Sacripant inspired~The Moorish monarch; of the furious
28    27|        tide.~Arrived before the Moorish army's head,~To him with
29    27| Rodomont conceived,~But all the Moorish host with him believed.~ ~
30    30|     obey,~Stood out against the Moorish monarch's prayer:~Since
31    30|        And make him satisfy the Moorish lord,~If Agramant spake
32    30|        buckler gay,~So bade the Moorish king, suspended were;~Suspended
33    31|         with stealthy pace.~The Moorish guard they find with sleep
34    31|      strike more dread into the Moorish foe,~Mount Alban's champion,
35    31|      Victorious o'er the routed Moorish foe.~To count the flyers
36    31|        their train:~They to the Moorish king the risk displayed~
37    32|      Gascon cavalier~How in the Moorish camp a damsel lies,~By name
38    32|       Where camped erewhile the Moorish forces lay;~For yet to her
39    35|         contend."~ ~ LXVIII~The Moorish king, that on the rampart'
40    35|      force,~I pray thee bid the Moorish king send down,~Nor weary
41    36|         day;~From her alone the Moorish people fly.~To her Rogero,
42    38|          And in these words the Moorish king addrest:~ ~ XLII~"My
43    38|         and other argument,~The Moorish squadrons should in France
44    38|       With all his army, to his Moorish reign,~And to King Charles
45    38|      fight,~That he will be the Moorish monarch's knight.~ ~ LXXXVIII~
46    39|        In that 'twould cost our Moorish cause too dear.~Let sin
47    39|         treaty broke, among~The Moorish squadrons they rejoicing
48    39|     pair,~Dividing, through the Moorish ranks career.~Who could
49    39|          And when that case the Moorish envoy shows,~To King Branzardo'
50    39|        yet lay anchored off the Moorish strand,~Expecting a more
51    39|     above it meant~To steer his Moorish squadron, that the strand~
52    39|      armed crew,~Which see that Moorish fleet at eventide,~And that
53    40|        Assaulted in mid sea the Moorish train.~ ~ VI~'Twas night,
54    40|     ships he fought,~As his own Moorish barks, took other thought.~ ~
55    40|      Seven of those kings, that Moorish sceptres swayed,~Who, having
56    40|       that very day;~And of the Moorish spoil and captive band~Made
57    41|        ne'er, in succour of the Moorish train,~With sword or lance,
58    41|         with speech;~Albeit the Moorish king, with bitter blow,~
59    41|     much defence could make the Moorish lord;~For Brandimart as
60    44|   Secure from mischief from the Moorish crew,~Homeward to send the

62    46|         Twixt Ind and where the Moorish waters flow.~Behold Ginevra!
63    46|     force or skill, so fell the Moorish lord,~He stood his match,
64    46|      Weakened the vigour of the Moorish king:~Rogero had address;
65    46|        Uplifted high in air the Moorish lord;~Then hurled him down
