Canto

 1     1|  hopeless pangs?~ ~ XLII~"The virgin has her image in the rose~
 2     1|      how she so preserved her virgin flower~Pure as it blossomed
 3     1|       bold,~Nor the redoubted virgin's name I veil:~'Twas Bradamant
 4     2|       flood;~To follow a fair virgin of his blood.~ ~ XXXI~I
 5     3|      off with him the warlike virgin's steed.~ ~ VI~Leave we
 6     3| thrill,~Addressed the martial virgin from the grave;~"May Fortune,
 7     3|      branches to pursue,~Fair virgin, would too long protract
 8     3|     the vault goes forth that virgin brave,~As through the sky
 9     4|      hence an arrow drank her virgin blood.~'Twere long to tell
10     5|       Scottish king demurred,~Virgin austerity she ever vows;~
11     6|  sluice,~Passed under sea the Virgin Arethuse.~ ~ XX~A more delightful
12     8|    upon the shore,~The lovely virgin, ere awake, they chain:~
13    12|            XCIV~With pain the virgin to the count replies,~As
14    18|     and vest, more white than virgin snow,~The coward in the

16    19|  pluck, as yet untouched, the virgin rose,~Angelica permits the
17    19|     such manly cheer~A gentle virgin was concealed, begun:~"I
18    20|      knowest it is false! Her virgin dower~Secure from brutal
19    22|     To grant whatever prudent virgin might,~To solace her desiring
20    36|    spoil and wrong,~Done to a virgin heart, shalt thou take pride."~
21    38|      holy womb,~While aye thy virgin flower preserved its bloom,~ ~
22    39|       XV~So those high-minded virgin warriors two,~Scowering
23    45|       vouches what avows that virgin bold,~In such confusion,
