Canto

 1     4| cavaliers,~Unhoused upon that desert, bleak and bare.~And many
 2     8|          XXXVIII~When in that desert, which but to descry~Bred
 3     8|   vainly wandering, through a desert strayed.~ ~ LXXXII~Meanwhile
 4    11|        They bore her from the desert isle away.~And, as she spake,
 5    11|      to have left her on that desert lair.~That Ireland's king
 6    12|     count.~This for his first desert I well bestow;~A worthy
 7    13|      more pause, in that lone desert, he~Would sate his greedy
 8    15| banishment.~ ~ XXVI~"For such desert, Heaven's bounty not alone~
 9    15|    forth their bones upon the desert lair;~And round about his
10    19|      As some poor recompense, desert, or guerdon,~For having
11    20|      those wilds, and on that desert shore,~To pine of want.
12    20|     turns and gazes round the desert strand,~And none is there --
13    24|       and nimble are,~At once desert the field and scour away:~
14    27|      And rather than that she desert thy side,~Let her hang him
15    31|      Naked, they far and near desert the field;~Nay, never halt
16    31|       as ordained by thee, in desert place,~Alone in knightly
17    32|    hangman hung his corpse in desert field,~The craving vulture
18    32|   thou wilt set~The sum of my desert, against thy debts?~ ~ XXXVIII~"
19    33|     ground;~Passing the sandy desert of the Moor,~In Albajada,
20    34|      him so contrite made, in desert drear,~Was never seen a
21    36|      could be given upon that desert sand.~Ye, well enveloped
22    37| cometh to your reign,~Without desert; say such I bring with me,~
23    38|    for this and for his first desert,~May give him bands, Biserta
24    40|      sea,~Which him upon that desert isle had thrown:~Yet would
25    44|       army, through~The sandy desert, by the self-same track,~
26    44|       Fly to the mountain and desert the mead.~Many he stops
27    45|     shortened day,~Finds it a desert horrid to the sight;~So,
28    46|   claim to Bradamant,~Or more desert than good Rogero vaunt."~ ~
