 5     5|     heart has shed,~That still 'twixt man and wife, with rage
 6     8|         upon a beach, that lay~'Twixt sea and mountain, open to

 8     9|       ashore,~Borne on a horse 'twixt brown and black, the breed~
 9    10|        descant sung;~When she, 'twixt sleep and waking, made a

12    10|    teeth of sow.~His forehead, 'twixt the eyes, Rogero smites,~
13    10|     tushes grow,~But aims that 'twixt the ears his blow may light;~
14    11|    hurrying on with eager pace~'Twixt tree and tree, two furious

22    19|         her hest.~She hastened 'twixt two stones the herb to pound,~
23    20|         and merchants fly;~And 'twixt the forts, in bark, prepared

25    24|       the air;~Hence dared not 'twixt champions interpose,~Nor
26    24|         lady, with bold heart, 'twixt either foe~Threw herself,
27    25| to-morrow, to a place conveyed~'Twixt Bayonne and a town of his,
28    26|           nor is it long ago --~Twixt us in battle was this question

36    33|  Rinaldo too: and contest sore~'Twixt him and Malagigi hence begun;~
