Canto

 1     2|         Before a spirit, by his bidding brought,~Waits his command
 2     6|     wallowing herd~Troop at her bidding, roused from lazy sleep;~
 3     7|         scorn and bar the road.~Bidding him turn, she to Rogero
 4     9|          and the chief address,~Bidding him range them under his
 5    14|      quietly,~And, " 'Tis God's bidding" (whispers in his ear)~"
 6    20|     Marphisa at a venture fare;~Bidding adieu to salvage Guido's
 7    29|    knight, and threatened sore;~Bidding him stand aside, or else
 8    30|        after to Hippalca sworn,~Bidding her boldly on his faith
 9    34|  whatever be the call,~Is at my bidding ever prompt to smite,~Without
10    36|     camps is sounded every day,~Bidding the unmounted mount, the
11    36|    discord chased,~They, at his bidding, tenderly embraced.~ ~ LXIX~
12    43| follower true,~Charged with the bidding he was bound to do.~ ~ CXXIII~"
