 9    16|   Christians take such heart and pride,~The bands do nought but
10    17|      support.~Rodomont, mad with pride, had, in his chace~Of the
11    18|        groans Sir Rodomont, with pride o'erblown,~Inflamed with
12    18|        so sorely anger stung and pride,~Thither he thought a second
13    18|     greater power~Should go, did Pride with her as well repair;~
14    18|          had little way to fare.~Pride went with her; but, that
15    18| Companion of the enterprise, was Pride)~Upon her road; and found
16    18| somewhile hammered on the stone.~Pride, underneath, the ready tinder
17    18|          she looked smilingly on Pride,~Through her he to a courser
18    19|   conveyed,~So waxed in stubborn pride and haught disdain,~She
19    19|           And would the damsel's pride endure no more.~Where young

21    20|    ill-sorted seemed her vest of pride~With her foul visage, more
22    21|         good Zerbino sue,~-- Her pride abased, and look of haught
23    22|        sore;~But he abased their pride and haughty vaunt,~Who straight

26    22|       mid those three knights of pride,~Of Burgundy's good marquis
27    23|        rates the charger, in his pride,~And smites him oftentimes
28    23|       does all griefs outgo.~His pride had from his forehead passed
29    24|         tookest Hector's arms of pride,~By theft thou hadst them,
30    24|    battle boils, while they~With pride and anger, and with hatred
31    24|          agreement should ensue,~PRIDE, who was present, could
32    24|          proof,~With these, made PRIDE and DISCORD stand aloof.~ ~
33    26|         held in such esteem, the pride of Spain?~So praised by
34    26|          said to her with mickle pride;~"Because I know Rogero
35    26|         king subdued his haughty pride,~And the fell fight which
36    27|          king of Argier, that in pride~Surpassed all knights that
37    27|        Sir Rodomont, with wonted pride,~Returned for answer: "Neither

41    30|      astonied knight;~And as his pride and fury waxes, grow~As

47    33|         Gonslavo you behold, the pride of Spain.~Fortune to Lewis
48    33|        royal lord,~Nor knows the pride and license of his host,~
49    33|    Lucifer, the monarch waxed in pride,~And war upon his maker
50    34|         excessive of the two,~My pride of beauty, could to thee
51    34|   declare.~Though it is certain, Pride but took its rise~In that
52    35|         tomb alone those arms of pride;~And will that you release
