 4     6|        gold I said,~Two youthful dames, not born in low estate,~
 5     6|        most of all, to beauteous dames like you."~ ~ LXXXI~Their
 6    11|          And hence so many naked dames collected;~And in one form
 7    13|       youth before;~And told how dames and cavaliers he cheats~
 8    13|         replies:~ ~ LVII~"Chaste dames of thee descended I survey,~
 9    14|          way retraced.~ ~ LIV~He dames, maids, ancient men, and
10    15|         he the champions two~And dames had left, the trophy in
11    15|      issue see:~Since those kind dames, because they would delay~
12    17|          me,~And all these other dames who with me dwell;~Nor me,
13    17|  Cloathed in our shaggy fleeces, dames and men:~Nor any issuing
14    18|   embrace,~Though, of all living dames and those of yore,~The proudest,
15    19|      would be free,~Can with ten dames the husband's part enact.~

19    20|         like schemes the unhappy dames present,~Each harder than
20    20|       play~Against those hundred dames good champions were:~A hundred
21    20|    theirs, not others' gain.~The dames all others sentence equally;~
22    20|         To her the oldest of the dames replied.~ ~ L~" `The leading
23    20|        To pardon him in fine the dames agreed:~But, after slaying
24    20|   disdain,~That he achieved o'er dames and cavaliers~The double
25    20|     remembered I shall teach.~To dames alone our laws the right
26    20|     sound.~Such terror smote the dames, that bent to fly,~When

30    27|          Queens, princesses, and dames of noble strain,~From Arragon,
