Canto

1     3|     relieve the sacred hold,~Sue to the neighbouring Florentine
2    11|   And that it better were to sue for peace,~First from the
3    19|   part, the liberal lord did sue~With courteous prayer, that
4    21|   humbly now to good Zerbino sue,~-- Her pride abased, and
5    31|     slain, or else for mercy sue,~A prisoner to Mount Alban'
6    33|    then for peace is fain to sue;~Nor long survives, nor
7    43|  because she never ceased to sue,~Could she from me obtain
8    43| suppliant prayer forthwith I sue,~And next those goads to
9    44|     which I to your highness sue,~Is not to let my parents
