 1     3|    XXIII~"To tell at large the puissant acts and worth,~And name
 2     4|     odds between that bold~And puissant maid, and warrior weak and
 3     4|     Now sore bested, against a puissant peer:~Lurcanio is the doughty
 4     5|     Albany arrayed,~Borne on a puissant steed of noble race:~Who
 5     6|     the damsel aid,~Because so puissant was Lurcanio's might,~All
 6     6|     mansion seated by the sea:~Puissant Alcina owned the house and
 7     6|      here was brought a steed,~Puissant and nimble, all of sorel
 8     8|      liquor wore;~And at those puissant eyes, whence flashed the
 9     8|  falsely or aright,~Tell how a puissant king this country swayed;~
10     9|     slain,~Yet never bared his puissant Durindane.~ ~ IV~So generous
11    11|        her of countess makes a puissant queen.~But be the Paladin
12    14|       terror vain)~More of the puissant warrior stands in dread~
13    14|       a genealogy~Like me, the puissant Agricano's son?~By riches, --
14    15|         With Prospero Colonna, puissant peer,~A marquis of Pescara
15    17|      reign,~And was, withal, a puissant man of might:~The tourney'
16    17|      Gryphon's mighty push and puissant hand.~ ~ C~Yet in the field
17    18|      force be torn~From such a puissant wight, I laid a scheme~Her
18    18|      perfect knight~Could by a puissant monarch rendered be,~Him
19    19|     band~Should sally from the puissant town in sight,~With armed
20    20|        To keep among us such a puissant wight~Our first design would
21    22|      and of vest.~ ~ LII~"Four puissant knights arrived that very
22    22|    shield his foeman wore,~The puissant warriors shocked in mid
23    23|     beat;~Though that he was a puissant cavalier~By certain signals
24    23|      Is from his opposite each puissant knight,~And pricks against
25    23|     will re-appear;~Nor seeing puissant Mandricardo more,~At last
26    23|        heritage,~Forced by too puissant love, had thought no scorn~
27    24|   light cause had stirred, but puissant goad.~-- If ever earnestness
28    24|       But LOVE was there, more puissant than the two,~Equalled of
29    27|     cavalier.~Gradasso and the puissant Falsiron,~In that which
30    27|  martial king of Sericane,~And puissant Tartar, who that question
31    29|     know,~Wherein those two so puissant warriors vied.~His opposite
32    31|       green.~Not so Gradasso's puissant troops was spent,~Who farther

34    33|     shows Caesar Borgia, grown~Puissant in Italy, through this king'
35    37|        putting in the rest her puissant spear,~Or baring that good
36    38| Because I grudged that king so puissant shou'd~Exist on earth, save
37    41|     all;~Short parley past the puissant foes between.~There was
38    43|       I do on thee,~So passing puissant in this place am I,~No other
39    43|      them, who prest~A hundred puissant steeds, for warfare bown;~
40    44|      vulgar train;~Nor beauty, puissant with the weak and light,~
41    45|     Had pierced and carved the puissant cavalier,~Now by Ungiardo
42    45|     neither see nor hear,~More puissant far than Hope, O Fear! thou
43    45|     promise, that to none~Less puissant than myself should I be
44    46|       Turk, or German crew~The puissant monarch leads his martial
