Canto

 1     1|        were thy gain, and what the guerdon won,~Though I should yield
 2     1|    champion and the rest,~As a fit guerdon, mewed her for the knight~
 3     2|            can avail,~And what the guerdon conquest will bestow~On
 4     3|       shall the church decree;~Fit guerdon of his works, and valour'
 5     3|           overthrow;~Not that, for guerdon of his glorious labour,~
 6     5|         stirred,~And to obtain his guerdon strove with art,~Him she
 7     5|            forest went,~The worthy guerdon of a faith so tried,~To
 8     5|          might grace him with such guerdon fair,~As to his good intent
 9    10|           dread,~Her lover's final guerdon evermore.~Next that he had
10    16|             Dear lord, is this the guerdon due to me,~For love and
11    17|            promise he shall meet~A guerdon worthy of his treacherous
12    18|      thousand tortures shall their guerdon be:~But Gryphon, who the
13    18|          be,~Him with the glorious guerdon to requite,~Which had been
14    18|            with right,~The armour, guerdon of this final course~Placed
15    19|        poor recompense, desert, or guerdon,~For having born so long
16    21|            fruit!~Oh what a worthy guerdon is thy meed!~Branded by
17    22|        with such prowess. That the guerdon due~To his ill deeds might
18    25|            pain,~Favour and goodly guerdon to obtain.~ ~ LIII~"For
19    26| Richardetto turned; and, as a meet~Guerdon for his good deed, the cavalier~
20    26|          warrior prest;~Who an ill guerdon would from him abide,~Did
21    29|        to-day by thee.~ ~ XVII~"In guerdon for this present, I request~
22    30|         you to wage prepare;~Small guerdon will be bought with mickle
23    31|        earned,~So that the hope of guerdon does not cease.~For worthy
24    43|         Foiled and outscorned, for guerdon of his pains.~ ~ CXXVII~"
25    43|          am I not a partner of thy guerdon?~ ~ CLXXII~"Thine is the
26    43|               CLXXII~"Thine is the guerdon; mine the loss; thy gain~
27    46|        wife:~So comes to claim the guerdon of the strife.~ ~ LV~"Besides
