 1     1|            his plaint her heart no measure keeps,~Cold as the column
 2     2|            should with a different measure beat?~Thou wilt not let
 3     2|     sounding blades such changeful measure keep,~The hammer-strokes
 4     2|        then, while from the peak~I measure the remembered place I seek."~ ~
 5     3|      prostrate laid;~With the full measure of a palm beside.~And on
 6     4|           game, sport, or mirthful measure.~My field well sown, I well
 7     6|      mankind is dealt in different measure,~Little or more to some,
 8     7| proportioned size;~And of the very measure seemed to sight,~As was
 9     8|            Fortune does seldom any measure keep;~Unused to cut her
10     9|             broke off the intended measure,~To give me comfort and
11    10|             who no less~Desired to measure back his western way.~Melissa
12    11|                XV~Afflicted beyond measure, he, with shield~Cast on
13    11|      killed; by few~He passed that measure, if the strokes were more:~
14    15|             Tis time that I should measure back my way~Thither, where
15    17|      foemen do that deadly weapons measure,~Save that the king may
16    18|     vengeance to the guilty couple measure.~ ~ LXXXVII~Sir Aquilant
17    19|              LXXXVI~With such just measure him she cleaves, I say,~
18    19|         her warlike foe.~Equal the measure one the other paid;~And
19    20|       these are children yet, take measure,~They never shall rebel
20    20|         the skies; and haply equal measure~I of the glories of my blood
21    24|       third day~Be ended, will not measure back his way.~ ~ XLVIII~

26    33|        foes,~Passing all means and measure; but so pure,~So perfect
27    33|           Aethiop monarchs, beyond measure,~The first was this, for
