Canto

  1   Int|            knight named Ruggiero ("Rogero" in Rose). Ruggiero, who
  2     1|          to grace,~Record the good Rogero, valiant peer,~The ancient
  3     2|           devoted knight,~The good Rogero, nigh becomes the prey~Of
  4     2|        Afric passed with Agramant;~Rogero was his valiant father's
  5     2|       Prized in the Moorish court, Rogero hight.~ ~ XLVI~"The dwarf
  6     2|            Gradasso drew,~Or young Rogero held the honor light,~The
  7     2|         sky,~And strikes the young Rogero, who, intent~Upon Gradasso,
  8     2|      discerned.~ ~ LIII~"His blows Rogero, now Gradasso, bruise~On
  9     2|           And, at first mention of Rogero's name,~Her radiant face
 10     2|           a guide;~Who is prepared Rogero's gaol to force,~Or to be
 11     2|         emprize to assay,~And free Rogero from the enchanted place:~
 12     3|         her womb.~Next, to release Rogero from the haunt~Of old Atlantes,
 13     3|        wrought,~And destined young Rogero for thy mate,~Let nothing
 14     3|          He, first of thine and of Rogero's seed,~Shall plant in Italy
 15     3|            where the wizard knight Rogero sties;~And built with polished
 16     3|            the wizard grave~To her Rogero's honest love commends;~
 17     3|        what device might be untied~Rogero's gyves, if stedfast were
 18     3|      proved in like event,~To take Rogero from the castle high;~So
 19     3|        promise did impart,~Who has Rogero's presence most at heart.~ ~
 20     3|           cavalier,~How to release Rogero from his foe~And his enchanted
 21     4|      Foiled by the ring, and young Rogero freed,~Who soars in air
 22     4|     thought;~What should the young Rogero's lady kind~Do with Brunello,
 23     4|        fair;~Who from his infancy, Rogero styled,~(Atlantes I) was
 24     4|           the beauteous keep to be~Rogero's dungeon, safely harboured
 25     4|          release them all,~So that Rogero but remain my thrall.~ ~
 26     4|        evil influence of the skies~Rogero is confined. Thou canst
 27     4|          lovely Bradamant~Discerns Rogero, long desired and dear;~
 28     4|          XLIV~Gradasso, Sacripant, Rogero, who~With all those other
 29     4|         And at short distance from Rogero stopt.~ ~ XLV~This was Atlantes
 30     4|        still directed were,~To see Rogero from his peril freed:~This
 31     4|           by this sleight to bear.~Rogero took his bridle, but in
 32     4|            prey.~ ~ XLVII~When her Rogero the fair dame discerned,~
 33     4|            fair.~ ~  XLVIII~She on Rogero looks with stedfast eyes~
 34     4|         The griffin soars, nor can Rogero stay~The flying courser;
 35     6|           fief of Albany.~Meantime Rogero, on the flying steed,~Arrives
 36     6|            the sea.~But it is time Rogero to pursue,~Who on his courser
 37     6|          through.~ ~ XVII~Although Rogero is of constant mind,~Not
 38     6|      hurled~Through the whole air, Rogero had not found:~And, had
 39     6|           with little danger dare,~Rogero lit the grass and flowers
 40     6|           XXIX~At the first sound, Rogero turns to see~Whence came
 41     6|        praise and grateful heart."~Rogero said; and, as he closed
 42     6|          not fly."~ ~ LIV~The good Rogero, who from Fame had learned~

 44     6|         force the mountain stair,"~Rogero said; (but the resolve was
 45     6|           brandish this," the good Rogero said:~With that his trenchant
 46     6|             But swiftly at his foe Rogero sprung,~Thrust at his paunch,
 47     6|           grinds.~ ~ LXXVI~To good Rogero here was brought a steed,~
 48     6|       where it may avail,~Dispose (Rogero said) to you intent.~Silver

 50     7|           Bidding him turn, she to Rogero cries;~A lance he takes,
 51     7|        with stedfast aim, ~So hard Rogero smote her, that he bore~
 52     7|            a gay and courtly crew,~Rogero there received in lordly
 53     7|            A springe is planted in Rogero's way,~On all sides did
 54     7|        self impressed.~So witched, Rogero sure some grace deserves,~
 55     7|     compare,~By the fond fairy for Rogero stored?~I think not such
 56     7|           floor,~Hoping 'twas her, Rogero raised his head:~He thinks
 57     7|            conscious of his claim,~Rogero is with proffers fair saluted:~
 58     7|          pleasant brook.~ ~ XXXIII~Rogero revels there, in like delight,~
 59     7|             Yet never aught of her Rogero hears.~ ~ XXXV~Of hundreds
 60     7|        divining, tries; --~She all Rogero's fortune knew, how freed;~
 61     7|       Wished length of days to his Rogero more~Than that, to win a
 62     7|         tells~That with Alcina her Rogero dwells.~ ~ XLVI~Nigh dead
 63     7|            should pass before anew~Rogero should return to glad her
 64     7|          she had deemed they could Rogero aid.~ ~ XLIX~Giving the
 65     7|  recommends~To her, and recommends Rogero more.~Countless salutes
 66     7|     corrupted all the rest.~So was Rogero found, within that dell,~
 67     7|              LXV~Abashed and mute, Rogero, listening,~In vain to her
 68     7|          enchantress' name:~Who to Rogero now her purpose said,~And
 69     7|            she says,~Continuing to Rogero her relation;~To this, her
 70     7|            used to prize.~ ~ LXXII~Rogero thus, when by Melissa's
 71     7|             Which had on many like Rogero wrought;~But now the ring
 72     7|          his flank he tied~(For so Rogero's trenchant sword was hight),~
 73     8|                CANTO 8~ ~ ARGUMENT~Rogero flies; Astolpho with the
 74     8|           evil be.~Well was it for Rogero that he wore~The virtuous
 75     8|           truth to explore!~ ~ III~Rogero, still dissembling, as I
 76     8|             Conjectures truly what Rogero flies.~ ~ V~Towards him
 77     8|           he sped:~To him the good Rogero answers naught.~He hence
 78     8|        appear more slow;~But hunts Rogero's courser, as in chace~Of
 79     8|        arms, to make his dog obey.~Rogero scorns his faulchion to
 80     8|   Constrained at length, his sword Rogero drew~To clear the rabble,
 81     8|     dishonour will ensue and loss,~Rogero sees, if him they longer
 82     8|          no longer keep:~Then glad Rogero leaves a prey to sleep.~ ~
 83     8|            one squadron by the way~Rogero took, she sent; the bands
 84     8|           are free to roam,~Follow Rogero's footsteps to the reign~
 85     8|           courteous prayer~Of good Rogero with Melissa weighed.~Beside
 86     8|       Beside his prayers, the ring Rogero gave;~That him she by its
 87     8|       better save.~ ~ XVII~Thus by Rogero's suit the enchantress won,~
 88     8|           And thus, an hour before Rogero came,~Repaired to Logistilla,
 89     8|            and shagged with thorn,~Rogero wends, to seek the sober
 90     8|           and sunny shore,~Were to Rogero grievous company:~Bur for
 91     8|         busied with one matter be,~Rogero I abandon in this heat,~
 92    10|            s holy realm addressed,~Rogero goes, nor heeds Alcina more:~
 93    10|        Child I wish: his weary way~Rogero, in the noon's intensest
 94    10|            along the shifting sand~Rogero wend, upon his way intent,~
 95    10|       throws,~Though to her taunts Rogero nought replies,~Who weens
 96    10|       warranty.~Giving God thanks, Rogero took his seat~Aboard the
 97    10|          taught.~ ~ XLV~He praised Rogero much, that he had fled~In
 98    10|     repeated, spread,~"Now -- now, Rogero, bare the magic shield,~

101    10|          sore:~I speak of valorous Rogero, who~Had disembarked upon
102    10|           Whom with a joyful heart Rogero sees.~There in few days
103    10|         their weariness~Had eased, Rogero sought the prudent fay;~
104    10|              Then thought how good Rogero she should speed.~And afterwards
105    10|      ground, beneath her tutoring,~Rogero learned in air, and gained

107    10|            of Charlemagne.~ ~ LXIX~Rogero thence departs; but as before~

111    10|           sport, as him they eyed,~Rogero shook the flying courser'

117    10|           which Bradamant, to free~Rogero, from Brunello's hand had
118    10|        used the instrument;~And to Rogero this again had born;~By
