 2     9|     the cruel island blows.~ ~ XCII~Such was the paladin's desire
 3    10|  Ireland shaped his course;~ ~ XCII~And saw fabulous Hibernia,
 4    12|        oppressed with woe.~ ~  XCII~An aged dame was with her,
 5    14|        Silence he may find.~ ~ XCII~In blest Arabia lies a pleasant
 6    15|       in their native land.~ ~ XCII~Gryphon and Aquilant thus

11    22|      shield, no more abide.~ ~ XCII~"Thee will I keep no more,
12    23|  palfrey, reined or loose."~ ~ XCII~The paynim deems it were
13    24|      to prudence or to age.~ ~ XCII~He thought to bear her to
14    25|       in all things, rest."~ ~ XCII~Rogero is such words his
