 2     1|        safer seat.~ ~ LXXII~Two miles they had not rode before
 3     2|     This goodly town, with many miles of plain,~Which lie 'twixt
 4     3|      who now precedes us by few miles;~Brunello he. Who wears
 5     4|       him, for many leagues and miles, the knight~Pricked through
 6     6|    market-place!~Three thousand miles, without repose, he went,~
 7     6|      vain)~Nor by the beach two miles his way pursued,~Ere he
 8    13|         which not more than six miles distant lay.~To the other
 9    13|   greenwood shade~More than two miles in narrow path had rode,~
10    14|       The town, whose walls for miles in circuit run,~Might well
11    15| slaughter.~ ~ XLIII~"Within six miles, no further, shalt thou
12    15|      found;~And with a wall two miles in length, the mount~Of
13    17|        yet the troop beyond two miles had gone,~At the first inn
14    18|       thousand times a thousand miles,~With sorrow and with suffering,
15    18|             CXXXVIII~Inland six miles or seven from thence, a
16    19|       the beach,~More than four miles about, the city's port;~
17    20|         time to flee,~They many miles had left the isle behind,~
18    21|        the wide distance of ten miles would shun,~Was he assured
19    21|       consort ill,~Argaeus many miles away suppose:~She, when '
20    21|     withal,~By Heaven! at three miles' distance from his wall.~ ~
21    22|          Nor these beyond three miles had fared, when they~Reached
22    23|       beat,~More than ten weary miles the damsel rode,~Ere any
23    23|    Journeying the twain, at two miles' distance spy:~There stopt
24    23|       with headlong force~Three miles in rings had gone, and more
25    24|        Anglantes' peer;~Nor two miles on his way, I think, had
26    24|      and plain resound~For many miles about; nor does she spare~
27    26|      And him I more than thirty miles had led~Towards Marseilles,
28    26|     heart.~ ~ XCV~Three hundred miles, a thousand, would he ride,~--
29    27|         beaten way:~Two hundred miles he roved, 'twist hill and
30    28|      XVIII~"Jocundo was not two miles on his road,~When he that
31    29|      one is said,~Distant three miles and more; and, in that sound,~
32    29|         sea-beach bare~For many miles impels the palfrey's flight,~
33    31|      gates are nigh,~Scarce ten miles distant, on the banks of
34    32|        way.~For thence, by many miles, was distant wide~That mind

37    34|    Which cover more than thirty miles in measure,~At ease and
38    39|         Having left Argier many miles behind,~Where he was minded
39    40| wandering from their camp three miles and more,~It chanced that,

41    42|     himself doth see:~Every ten miles he changes horse and guide,~
42    43|         dry --~Extending twenty miles about that water,~He gives
43    43|     night.~And yet advance some miles; "For thou," he cried,~"
