 4     7|        as I know full well,~Will yield small credence to the tale
 5     9|       this intent;~And threat to yield my city up and me,~Lest

18    18|      with intent to make the two~Yield themselves prisoners to
19    21|         besought,~And feigned to yield to him with ready grace,~
20    21|         gear,~And, almost naked, yield him up to thee.'~So did
21    22|       deed.~For sign or threat I yield not panoply,~If nought beside
22    26|       joust, and to your reasons yield.~Warmly I pray your leave
