Canto

 1     1|         king Charles', the Roman emperor's head~Had vowed due vengeance
 2     1|       eyes,~From him the prudent emperor reft the prize.~ ~ VIII~
 3     8|       sail and oar.~ ~ XXVII~The Emperor Charles, and he, King Otho
 4    14|        that storm.~ ~ LXVIII~The emperor, on the vigil of the day~
 5    14|         LXXIII~So spake the holy emperor aloud,~In humbleness of
 6    15|     rights of Charles, the Roman Emperor,~Would cease to war upon
 7    16|         vows oblige;~And a famed emperor, of more majesty~Than ever
 8    24|       flags arrayed.~For he, the emperor, who the lilies wore,~Siege
 9    26|       gullet with the lance,~The emperor Charles the fifth is signified:~
10    36|          than one~Famed king and emperor, who that list have swelled,~
11    37| fortilage,~A knight of the Greek emperor's court did lie;~With him
12    38|    volume was their Alcoran.~The emperor in his hands the Gospel
13    40|      train;~King Agramant or the Emperor Charlemagne.~ ~ LXIII~Meanwhile
14    44|           To-day king, pope, and emperor leagued are seen,~And on
15    44|        consent,~Unto the Grecian emperor Constantine~To give his
16    44|         either hand.~ ~ XXIX~The emperor Charles with bright and
17    44|      somedeal apart.~ ~ XXXI~The emperor bids Rogero mount again,~
18    44|     dames and knight,~The mighty emperor, mid those greetings loud.~
19    44|       Would marry to the Grecian emperor's son;~And not to him that
20    44|          distinguished none;~Nor emperor, pope, nor king, is raised
21    44|      LXXI~With cheerful face the emperor made reply,~The entreaty
22    44|        his enemies in flank.~The emperor, when his son appeared in
23    44|     horse and foot had sent that emperor; here~Now entered (for the
24    45|         XII~Here from attack the emperor makes assure~The city walls
25    45|       world in arms.~ ~ XIII~The emperor, swimming in a summer sea,~
26    45|         deprived his foe;~So the emperor was assured, and so rejoiced,~
27    45|         No less occasion has the emperor's son~For joying; for besides
28    45|     lament;~(Nor from before the emperor will arise,~Though he three
29    45|        to thy succour, the Greek emperor's son:~If ever Constantine,

31    45|         Deem not Rogero, but the emperor's son;~And viewing in that
32    46|        where~She met the Grecian emperor's youthful heir;~ ~ XXII~
33    46|        will appear~Deservedly an emperor's son -- although~In other
