 1     4|     enterprize to hear,~That, e'er in times of old or present
 2     5|      hopeful answer would she e'er impart: ~And still the

 5    11|   make his prowess known.~Nor e'er was bruited action of
 6    13|       I agnize and view.~Whom e'er shall I agnize or view
 7    17| enduring greater agonies~Than e'er were suffered, there

 9    24|      resentment glowed,~-- If e'er humility produced good
10    25|       such warrior's hand?~If e'er Rogero force, e'er fury
11    25|   hand?~If e'er Rogero force, e'er fury shewed,~If e'er
12    25|   force, e'er fury shewed,~If e'er his mighty valour well
13    26|       day this and last, that e'er in fight~King Rodomont
14    28|      graces was purveyed,~Few e'er with him in beauty could
15    28|    neither time, nor absence, e'er will shake,~Nor whatsoever
16    29|     collected, nor this while e'er~Abandoned by the paynim
17    30|       to wax more fierce than e'er:~A cuff he levels at
18    30|     stroke more terrible than e'er.~As Mandricardo's head

26    43|    Nor will he see again, nor e'er before~Had seen a visage
27    44|   humane~Than any knight that e'er laid lance in rest:~But
28    44|    from its summit part,~Than e'er, for change or chances,
29    45|     that wills no trust shall e'er be placed~In her by man,
30    45| stripling shown;~And, without e'er offending her, how well~
31    45|        wretched me!~How can I e'er in future think of aught,~
32    46|       die of all, who don,~Or e'er donned sword and buckler,
33    46|       none,~That ever were or e'er will be, outdone;~ ~
