 1     1|           And rest, than further joust and jeopardy;~And well thy
 2     5|        cheer,~Unfit to strive in joust or warfare more:~And, before
 3     8|      which this whirlwind blows,~Joust warring winds, north, south,
 4    12|      dauntless mind;~Who bent to joust pricked forth his foaming
 5    13| spreading rumour to our town,~To joust, from different lands came
 6    17|         had been laid,~To a fair joust, which at the morrow's light,~
 7    17|          though he came not that joust to see,~Accepts the challenge
 8    17|       the weed~Of him who had in joust so proved his might.~As
 9    18|  steadier in array,~More used to joust and manage of the brand,~
10    18|       That fresh upon the day of joust the two~Might in Damascus-town
11    18|         arms which in the former joust the due~Of valiant Gryphon
12    18|  cavaliers who to that stage,~To joust, from different lands had
13    18|         their way.~Next came the joust, of which the honour due,~
14    19|          would be, in the second joust at eve,~Ill-qualified the
15    19|         but till other blast the joust declare.~Lo! earth and air
16    22|          four,~It seems, can any joust, but vails his crest.~Knight
17    22|       sway;~To you shall by this joust be manifest~If we can aid
18    22|     cavalier,~Who in the warlike joust should void is sell.~At
19    22|          gain,~And voided in the joust his knightly sell.~Who laughs,
20    22|          he hies~Where, when the joust began, the damsel stayed.~
21    26|       another's cost,~Forego the joust, and to your reasons yield.~
22    26|          her spied,~Forthwith to joust and single fight defied.~ ~
23    26|       prest,~Deeming they had to joust with either knight;~But
24    26|        other side,~Who should in joust the paynim king affront,~
25    26|   baffled forces aid;~Nor foe in joust or fight can be attacked~

29    32|       claimed by other wight,~To joust with all new comers makes

32    35|         who the peer~That in the joust so well maintains his seat,~
33    45|        whose arms in their first joust~(As if of wax had been his
34    45|     praise that they in knightly joust excel;~And with whatever
35    45|       only makes that knight the joust forego~Is that he would
