Canto

  1     1|            IX~Vowing with her the warrior to content,~Who in that
  2     1|        maid who rode at speed~The warrior knew, and, while yet distant,
  3     1|          Arriving, quickly to the warrior's eyes~(Though many days
  4     1|      still;~Since neither valiant warrior was below~His opposite in
  5     1|         whom he slew,~(So was the warrior hight) that stream beside,~
  6     1|        Then by Lanfusa's life the warrior swore,~Never in fight, or
  7     1|      pursue.~ ~ XXXII~For far the warrior fared not, ere he spied,~
  8     1|       best in fight.~ ~ XLVII~The warrior in the field had been, and
  9     1|         deep attention, while the warrior weeps,~She marks the fashion
 10     1|           And she now clasped the warrior to her breast,~Who in Catay
 11     1|          valiant knight,~Behold a warrior threads the forest hoar.~
 12     1|     approaching near,~Had he seen warrior pass, by whom were borne~
 13     1|        now his way:~Then tell the warrior's name, that I may be~Informed
 14     1|             LXXI~After the woeful warrior long had thought~Upon his
 15     2|         hopes to place her in the warrior's hands.~ ~ XXII~And, with
 16     2|       keep, the two~Contend which warrior shall begin the fight.~When,
 17     2|     Beneath the wizard's blow the warrior bent,~Which made some deal
 18     2|     flanks, between;~While he the warrior's empty blows eschews,~Shifting
 19     2|           case,~He, the celestial warrior, bore his shield;~But why
 20     3|           many a famous plant~And warrior, who shall issue from her
 21     4|       bold~And puissant maid, and warrior weak and old!~ ~ XXVII~Intending
 22     4|        Unless to her defence some warrior hie;~And as her champion
 23     4|         dame;~So that the valiant warrior who has stood~In her defence,
 24     5|         only quenched the haughty warrior's flame,~But the fond love,
 25     5|         thou hearest he cry,' the warrior said;~`But as thou lovest
 26     5|          ever close concealed the warrior went;~Not, since he had
 27     5|           of what he vouched, the warrior cried.~False Polinesso,
 28     5|          event;~Since through the warrior half his weapon went.~ ~
 29     6|         In what he of the missing warrior said.~Yet was it true that
 30     6|           to sight,~Bears off the warrior with such rapid wing,~He
 31     6|           but console the unhappy warrior's grief.~ ~ LV~As best he
 32     6|        Who with extended hand the warrior greet.~He, with a kindling
 33     7|         levelled spear,~To do the warrior scorn and bar the road.~
 34     7|       Whose virtue to himself the warrior brought.~And such remorse
 35     7|          at his neck the youthful warrior slung.~ ~ LXXVII~Provided
 36     8|        Within himself to stop the warrior thought,~And thus, with
 37     8|         go.~Not to stand fast the warrior deems disgrace,~And turns
 38     8|           And other armour of the warrior bold,~Of which he was in
 39     8|        welcome paid;~And next the warrior, at his better ease,~The
 40     9|       through.~In that the gentle warrior was arrayed~In Arab weeds,
 41     9|        the duke be slain.~ ~ LIV~"Warrior to went with me, I in my
 42     9|          hopes as well, if he the warrior slay,~To have the dame,
 43     9|           which lies~Free for the warrior's flight, with armed train:~
 44     9|          now broke, his sword the warrior drew,~That sword which never
 45    10|       fire.~ ~ XXXVI~While to the warrior thirst and labour sore,~
 46    10|           the proud damsel at the warrior throws,~Though to her taunts
 47    10|          the strife,~As saved the warrior's liberty and life.~ ~ LII~
 48    10|          in so long a flight,~The warrior is for ever on the wing.~
 49    10|        are the rest enrolled:~The warrior's name, renowned throughout
 50    10|       astound,~And compassing the warrior, form a round.~ ~ XCI~So
 51    11|        giant made~Upon the lesser warrior's casque, and by~The mighty
 52    11|          helm untied,~So that the warrior's face Rogero spied.~ ~
 53    11|        Not only nought she to the warrior said,~But dared not raise
 54    11|         From whence to France the warrior's passage lies.~ ~ LXXVIII~

 56    12|           s: if here~The restless warrior stand, it sounds from there,~
 57    12|          Before she lit on either warrior's trace,~By city or by farm,
 58    12|        but shouldst thou meet~The warrior whom thou seekest, front
 59    12|          first she would upon the warrior play:~The helmet she took
 60    12|            where hope the toiling warrior leads,~Searching his lady-love,
 61    12|          rugged scene~Seem in the warrior's sight a paradise.~Although
 62    12|        And with benign return the warrior greet.~ ~ XCIII~'Tis true,
 63    13|           night and day I for the warrior yearned;~And was assured,
 64    13|         to bear;~And as a perfect warrior by the knight,~Praised,
 65    13|       This mighty wrath in either warrior stirred;~In sign whereof
 66    13|          s bed,~Encounters with a warrior: but to say~Who was the
 67    14|        vain)~More of the puissant warrior stands in dread~Than of
 68    14|          their standards plant,~A warrior had arrived some days before;~
 69    14|           The crown of Tartary, a warrior wight;~The son the famous
 70    14|       resolved to go~And find the warrior who the deed had done;~But
 71    14|         won and wore;~To find the warrior of the sable vest~Seemed
 72    14|           and half concealed,~The warrior 'gan in greater hurry ride;~
 73    14|       Than monkish tonsure at the warrior's hands:~Heads fly and arms;
 74    15|           all care would send the warrior back~By the securest and
 75    15|      could not shake himself, the warrior spied.~ ~ LVI~With subtle
 76    15|            who had not marked the warrior's feat,~Was searching in
 77    15|           Egypt's caliph they the warrior found;~And with a wall two
 78    15|        Which ('twas believed) the warrior's relicts were,~Who freed
 79    15|        But she to Antioch (as the warrior learned)~Had with another
 80    16|       ready knaves, who serve the warrior, rear~The knightly helm
 81    16|        But he was hindered by the warrior stout,~Who came from England
 82    16|          Thanked in his heart the warrior, who well met,~Had thus

 84    17|          run,~Wounded the unhappy warrior in mid-face,~So that he
 85    17|        Who as a worthy knight the warrior grace,~And over and above
 86    17|        the deed:~He took away the warrior's horse, more white~Than
 87    17|         how, in white array,~That warrior, with the lady and the rest,~
 88    17|           and words of shame,~The warrior they with volleyed stones

108    20|       which had nigh quenched the warrior's sight, --~All for the
109    20|       That motionless an hour the warrior lies.~Marphisa, now victorious
110    20|          courtesy, which fain~The warrior would have done, had rendered
111    20|           prince, exclaimed, "Sir warrior, you are sage,~In having
112    20|          a metal rock,~And at the warrior's morion thrust so well,~
113    20|            and tries~The Scottish warrior more to sting and heat.~

116    22|         following him, I say, the warrior took~The Armenian road,
117    22|         speed, or he had from the warrior shot;~But loosening now
118    22|           every trace~Of what the warrior had pursued is gone.~He

122    22|           As if about to die, the warrior spied.~He wondered first,
123    22|        such a shame~(The blushing warrior said) the stain eraze?~For '
124    23|         more nigh, to embrace the warrior flew;~And named herself,

126    23|      intended theft,~The bleeding warrior's surcoat, richly wrought,~
127    23|        Yet well I trust, if I the warrior board,~To make him render
128    23|         sister broke.~Nor far the warrior had pursued his beat,~Ere
129    23|         all obscured remained the warrior's sprite;~Nor, for forgetfulness,
130    24|     awhile revolved,~And thus the warrior finally resolved.~ ~ XXXVIII~
131    24|        every place had sought the warrior, save~Within the palace

239    41|      haughty look,~Heaven, as the warrior trod, in terror shook.~ ~
240    41|         rage and pain~Thereat the warrior felt, and strange it seemed~

245    41|     cuirass split; but harmed~The warrior is not by the furious stroke,~

247    41|           issuing widely from the warrior's head~A stream of life-blood

258    42|          Was almost on the gentle warrior's tongue,~And there by courteous
259    42|          it touched his lips, the warrior thought.~But let me, sir,

289    45|        But first Frontino was the warrior's care,~Whom he unharnessed
290    45|           nought thereof unto the warrior said;~And on whoever lists
