 1     1|   known by sight,~But each had proved in arms his foeman's might.~ ~
 2     2|      damsel fair assorts:~Best proved by valiant deeds: though,
 3     2|  Charlemagne and France: Since proved among~The first, her prowess,
 4     3|         And of this ring, well proved in like event,~To take Rogero
 5     8|      many a day;~Its beams, as proved a thousand times before,~
 6    10|     loves, of all fidelity~Yet proved, of all the constant hearts
 7    10|      for such service -- cruel proved~For such fair love and faith,
 8    13|      Is hardly found by judges proved and good;~Women, to wit,
 9    14|         I to-day (I ween) have proved~That I for courage merit
10    16|     thus had sported long,~She proved disastrous to the paynim
11    16|       good Rinaldo's lance had proved more strong.~ ~ LXXXII~That
12    17|        Pity's mickle force~Was proved in that so dread experiment;~
13    17|        him who had in joust so proved his might.~As he had shaped
14    18|  LXXXIV~His cunning might have proved of good avail,~For Aquilant
15    20|         Ill known and scarcely proved in warlike stower.~Here
16    20|       days to them so grateful proved,~Above all dearest things
17    20|         With those whom he had proved in amorous strife.~ ~ LVIII~"
18    20| fortunate that in this play~He proved again the conqueror, he,
19    22|       Him he that day in India proved, when sped~He was by sage
20    24|       was no true content,~And proved all other hope was transitory,~
21    31|       a foul misdeed,~Unless I proved thee also with the brand.~
22    31|       fury more,~Which to have proved so deeply irks them sore.~ ~
23    31|     pathway clear;~And well is proved upon that paynim crew~The
24    38|     Would that my prophecy had proved less just!~Of, if I was
25    38|    Whose mighty prowess I have proved in part,~In part, at others'
26    39|    dispirited array.~ ~ XXI~So proved they; for the foe was scarce
27    40|     was the sage,~And well had proved himself with sword and spear;~
28    40|       and Olivier:~Well has he proved the one and the other's
29    40|   their keeper overthrew,~Then proved his wonted might with faulchion
30    40|     many a fight:~Wherewith he proved him fully of the race~Of
31    41|     chain~As he that these had proved: they valour were,~But valued
32    41|    cavalier~As heretofore; for proved those arms have been:~He
33    42|      reigned, in any age,~Well proved by Fortune in her love or
34    43|      bestow;~Having his virtue proved by signs more clear.~This
35    43|       him whose prowess he had proved in fight.~ ~ CXCVIII~Him
36    44|        on the listed plain~Had proved the peer so strong in martial
37    44|        s core~Is not of wax is proved; for Love whilere~Smote
