Canto

 1     3|       valiant knight,~Which thirty years before was his of right.~ ~
 2     4|        speak him, to her guess,~Of years six score and ten, or little
 3     5|    occasion show,~Why in my tender years, against all right,~Those
 4     7|          have consumed his fairest years and best,~In long inaction,
 5     7|            of thee,~When these thy years should be accomplished,
 6     9|           him, a wight~Stricken in years; who, full of courteous
 7    13|           came,~"As thou hast many years before foretold~Men who
 8    13|         And who will flourish many years before.~Pannonia's garland
 9    14|         Hector's breast~A thousand years before, he made his own.~
10    15|          in the course of circling years I view~From farthest lands
11    15|         Which, when long course of years shall be complete,~Charles'
12    15|       shrine.~After three thousand years, Caligorant drew~The sacred
13    15|       through,~And wise beyond his years: from paganry~Converted
14    19|            hardly numbers eighteen years.~ ~ CVIII~Much marvels with
15    20|           this dispersed to future years shall be;~And you, ye evil

17    20|            Returned from Troy (ten years hostility~The town endured,
18    20|            town endured, ten weary years were tost~The Greeks, detained
19    20|        fresh (he numbered eighteen years)~Or blooming rose, new-gathered
20    20|           male sex at enmity,~Some years the lonely women lived forlorn:~
21    20|            they allay,~And in four years, of all who made repair~
22    20|        chance did fare,~After long years elapsed, a youthful wight,~
23    20|          LX~"They for two thousand years nigh past away~This usage
24    20|         date, some ten or score~Of years, to harass and torment me
25    22|        lance in rest,~Nor have for years in France against their
26    23|            arms I bear,~A thousand years ago great Hector's were.~ ~
27    26|          will within seven hundred years be known,~To the great honour
28    27|     conquered fruitful France some years before;~But cannot now imagine
29    29|    Thousands and thousands of long years and more!~-- Depart in peace
30    33|           others, who~Thousands of years ago in honour stood,~Things
31    33|          many and many an age, not years)~How through the Alps, a
32    34|           spouse,~Not for his many years to her less dear,~Rising
33    34|       story shows;~Sent, for seven years, of savage fury full,~To
34    35|        Shall have existence twenty years before,~Dating from THE
35    35|          down~The stream of future years -- I recognize~First of
36    36|            s western stream;~Whose years and beauty might have pity
37    36|      damsel knew;~Blazoned through years and centuries by Fame,~Unrivalled,
38    37|              Whom stricken sore in years her visage shows,)~In guise
39    38|      appaid;~But twice two hundred years will not atone~The crying
40    38|           month or two,~I eithteen years had not o'erpast, before~
