 4     9|         Bireno to the count with courtesy~And grateful thanks the
 5    10|          other's sake, a foolish courtesy.~ ~ XI~The gentle damsel
 6    12|        barbarous is, and void of courtesy,~That he keeps buried, in
 7    13|          widest ope the gates to courtesy.~If he by Taro, and in Naples'
 8    14|          LIII~Yet not so far his courtesy he strained,~That he would

10    15|         Not only to this captain courtesy~Shall Charles display, still
11    17|     Provided by their landlord's courtesy~With sturdy spears and good,
12    17|       this had given, as full of courtesy,~To be contented for with
13    19|       Sirs, show me but a single courtesy,~With which she ever graced
14    19|         disobeyed,~Than that his courtesy should suffer stain.~The
15    19|      martial maid, to show~'Twas courtesy, not fear, had made him
16    19|     delay,~But need not what thy courtesy agrees;~And yet remains
17    19|          he refused my proffered courtesy!"~ ~ CI~Till eve they strove,
18    20|           And in a kindly act of courtesy,~Not without weeping, kist
19    20|       age, in May~Of youth, with courtesy and valour fraught,~Upon
20    20|          one,~Who a great act of courtesy, which fain~The warrior
21    22|         with earnest prayer,~For courtesy the good Rogero prest,~To
22    23| descending tear,~She only of the courtesy could tell~Late shown her
23    23|     rightfully,~Let us for it in courtesy contend;~Nor will I in this
24    25|        anew conveyed:~By her own courtesy and kindness led,~That lady
25    29|       And now devoid of all that courtesy,~Which he in the beginning
26    30|      hope I, from your sovereign courtesy,~Your pardon, since I crave
27    32|      renders back the stranger's courtesy;~Rises to welcome her with
28    32|      that by right, no less than courtesy,~May she a shelter claim
29    35|       for them, on whom her door~Courtesy closes on a stormy day;~
30    35|        speak him ill, and do him courtesy.~Who thus as faithless him
31    35|        at the sight~Of the foe's courtesy to him of Spain.~"He takes
32    35|   obtained whilere.~"To thee thy courtesy shall do no good,"~He threats, "
33    35|         lady cried,)~"Tell me in courtesy how ye are hight."~In this
34    36|          Still cannot choose but courtesy pursue;~For they from nature
35    36|    antiquity~Much gentleness and courtesy appear,~Virtues but seldom
36    36|     withstood,~As to your inborn courtesy seemed good.~ ~ V~This will
37    36|               XXI~"Though I have courtesy for others, none"~(She said) "
38    37|          And prayed she would in courtesy pursue,~Yea, rather from
39    37|       That they departed, by the courtesy~Of those two kindly brothers
40    41|    lineage, for so many years~Of courtesy the great and lasting light,~
41    41|     prowess steeled,~At least in courtesy he would not yield.~ ~ VI~"
42    41|     Conquered and captive to thy courtesy."~To him Rogero answered, "
43    42|   approaching him he viewed,~Who courtesy in face and semblance shewed.~ ~
44    43|      gentle blood,~The love, the courtesy thy lords shall show,~O
45    43|         old,~And bade the dog in courtesy bestow~Upon that messanger
46    43|         The weary rowers, in his courtesy,~A parting present, ere
47    43|       famous far and wide,~Whose courtesy, whose might and daring
48    45|       beside --~By equal or more courtesy to pay~The mighty debt that
49    45|        such high honour and such courtesy~Were upon him bestowed,
50    46|         inward goodness and your courtesy,~Some help, some comfort,
51    46|        above~Disposes, thy great courtesy, well tried~In a sore need,
52    46|        their vows.~He deems that courtesy of so high a strain~Was
53    46|          Defeated in the race of courtesy;~ ~ XL~And says, "That day
54    46|   worthily repaid,~Did that high courtesy; which can by none,~That
55    46|      faithfully could verse such courtesy,~As Charlemagne vouchsafed
