11     7|           LVI~Him in the figure of Atlantes sage~She fronts, who bore
12     7|            the magic dame;~Nor old Atlantes' form was needed more,~The
13     7|           more credence to obtain,~Atlantes de Carena's form; but she,~

20    12|            cheating both, descries~Atlantes old. The damsel doubts withal~
21    12|           her hand anew,~Which old Atlantes' every scheme o'erthrew.~ ~
22    12|          Nor might nor mean in old Atlantes lies~To stop the knights
23    13|            so large a band~The old Atlantes' magic walls enclose.~Her
24    13|            The frauds and magic of Atlantes hoar,~That wearing her fair
25    13|          his cheer~And every look, Atlantes thee shall meet,~And make

27    14|         mountain-chain~(Nigh where Atlantes dwelt), to her he led,~Fair
