 1   Int|          Medieval and Renaissance Italy (it is worth noting that
 2     3|        spring,~Whose name through Italy and earth shall ring.~ ~
 3     3|       Shall once again to widowed Italy~Her ancient praise and fame
 4     3|     Rogero's seed,~Shall plant in Italy thy generous race.~In him
 5     3|         comes behind; the best~Of Italy, with arms and belted sword:~
 6     3|        grace)~To hold the half of Italy in dower,~With that descendent
 7     3|           ensues,~Shall turn fair Italy's long grief to joy;~I speak
 8     5|         king's court, came out of Italy:~And there of knightly arms
 9     7|          mirth,~Through which, to Italy with losses pined~And wounds,
10    11|           purpose hit.~ ~ XXIV~To Italy and France, on every hand~
11    11|        this war shall end, which, Italy~Afflicting most, has drowned
12    12|         her through~The realms of Italy and of Almayn,~And thence

14    13|          the sore mischief of all Italy,~Will with the Insubri into
15    14|           bred,~Heaping our ample Italy with dead.~ ~ X~As the illustrious
16    15|         see Charles enter fertile Italy,~To which this captain clears
17    16|      while these walls endure,~Is Italy or Almayn's realm secure;~ ~
18    17|           To pests like these~Our Italy was given in later day,~
19    17|          sooth offended more~Than Italy? yet her to scathe, that
20    17|            thou sleepest, drunken Italy,~Of every vice and crime
21    17|         weighty care,~Oh! let not Italy lie plunged in sleep,~If
22    20|      frigate veers,~And, coasting Italy's fair region, steers:~ ~
23    26|       seemed to ravage France and Italy,~And Spain and England's

27    33|        him how to cast~On restive Italy the curbing rein;~And this;
28    33|        King Charlemagne;~How into Italy their march they bend;~And
29    33|      Arles, victorious Hugh,~From Italy the Berengari chase!~Whom,
30    33|       Another Charles set fire to Italy;~Who has two kings in two
31    33|         is woe~To have brought to Italy King Charlemagne,~Whom he
32    33|         Borgia, grown~Puissant in Italy, through this king's grace;~
33    33|          a tighter rein,~Nor over Italy, as wont, has flown:~For
34    33|           How oft the Franks from Italy recede.~The next, of visage
35    33|    barbarous enemy's attack,~Vext Italy, and Church, and Empire
36    33|      domain to sway.~Lo! while in Italy he leads his band,~Another
37    34|          that on blind~And erring Italy so full have fed!~Whom,
38    34| greediness, that filth arose,~Our Italy's infection doomed to be.~
