Canto

 1     1|         the knight.~A different lot befel Rinaldo; who~Had chanced
 2     2|         When, whether the first lot Gradasso drew,~Or young
 3     2|     will of Pinabel,~Such cruel lot fair Bradamant assayed;~
 4     4|        this tower conveyed, his lot to share,~That with such
 5     5|        she alone would share my lot;~And are as well assured
 6     8|     isle again,~Where, till the lot shall of their prey dispose,~
 7    13|       So I might hope Zerbino's lot to share,~I was content
 8    15|        In France the brethren's lot, had in that fray~With fierce
 9    17|         women slay: the others' lot~Is fixt; and, of four men
10    17|      life will be,~Who will our lot, in good or evil, share.~
11    19|      The knights determining by lot to try~Who in their common
12    20|      victims was brought out by lot to die,~In fane by Orontea
13    20|         unhappy men,~One was by lot selected from the ten.~ ~
14    20|      rival's company,~She of my lot should sole partaker be.~
15    20|          Did she benign or evil lot endure.~The hard and pertinacious
16    22|       castle hies,~The first by lot, shall meet the foe alone,~
17    25| constrained,~Unless it were his lot to die before,~He would
18    27|         decreed,~Each should by lot possess the listed mead.~ ~
19    27| Rodomont were third;~Marphisa's lot and Mardricardo's lay~At
20    27|        one alone, should be the lot of all?~ ~ CXXXVII~"Erewhile
21    30|      right:~Premising, he whose lot is drawn before~The other,
22    30|       and agreed,~That he whose lot first issued, the assay~
23    31|      happier mode of life, what lot more blest,~Than evermore
24    32|      had the gods so pleased my lot to bless,~As to require
25    33|       not say,~Since -- such my lot, beyond all wont, severe --~
26    41|         who die~(So curst their lot) the death from which they
27    43|     foresee.~Upon our judge the lot of envoy fell:~O day, that
28    43|       wherefore fear I, since a lot so blest,~Is lost, to lose
