 1     3|  know not, or if called from hell;~And gathered in one place (
 2     3|     deemed by men a child of hell.~And work such evil, thinning
 3     7|    that form she raised from hell;~And with loose hair, dishevelled
 4     9| through thee has planned!~To hell, from whence thou came,
 5    11|      ever, God has doomed to hell~That cursed soul, amid the
 6    12|  earth above, descended into hell.~ ~ III~Had Roland of Eleusis'
 7    14|  discerned her in this other hell~(Who would believe it?)

14    24|    and despairing, hies~Into hell's deep and gloomy bottom;
15    24|     follow thee to heaven or hell;~It fits our souls together
