Canto

  1   Int|         are Orlando and Ranaldo ("Rinaldo" in Rose).~When Argalia
  2     1|      through the greenwood shade.~Rinaldo's horse escapes: he, following,
  3     1|      long-lost treasure;~But good Rinaldo mars his promised pleasure.~ ~ ~
  4     1|      Orlando and his cousin, free~Rinaldo, late contended for the
  5     1|        His faulchion, and against Rinaldo pressed,~Who saw with little
  6     1|           paynim pricked, by that Rinaldo strode.~But fierce Ferrau,
  7     1|       were good Orlando's casque;~Rinaldo's such, or yet a fairer
  8     1|     knight.~A different lot befel Rinaldo; who~Had chanced another
  9     1|        And, "Stay, Bayardo mine," Rinaldo cried,~"Too cruel care the
 10     1|         Furious, in chase of him, Rinaldo hies.~But follow we Angelica,
 11     1|        blind,~Or mountain, feared Rinaldo was behind.~ ~ XXXIV~As
 12     1|       thousand miles from loathed Rinaldo's beat,~To rest herself
 13     1|        What time the damsel loved Rinaldo bold;~Rinaldo, then ungrateful,
 14     1|        damsel loved Rinaldo bold;~Rinaldo, then ungrateful, stern,
 15     1|        passion slighted;~'Tis now Rinaldo loves, as ill requited.~ ~
 16     1|        for ice their former fire.~Rinaldo drank the first, and vainly
 17     1|            The maid no sooner had Rinaldo spied,~Than on her laughing
 18     1|          fear~What 'tis she does; Rinaldo is too nigh:~And from afar
 19     2|           rivals' dangerous play;~Rinaldo goes where Love and Hope
 20     2|           inspires.~ ~ II~Thou to Rinaldo show'st the damsel fair,~
 21     2|           planted.~ ~ X~When, lo! Rinaldo, now impatient grown,~Strikes
 22     2|          If she would not be that Rinaldo's prey,~Rinaldo loathed
 23     2|           be that Rinaldo's prey,~Rinaldo loathed by her as much,
 24     2|           bloodless face,~And saw Rinaldo from each thicket sally.~
 25     2|         And never more of loathed Rinaldo hear.~The hermit, who was
 26     2|        Towards his horse the good Rinaldo steers,~Breathing forth
 27     2|       sound strangely in your ear~Rinaldo took the steed thus readily,~
 28     2|         another way.~So luring on Rinaldo through the shade,~Twice
 29     2|       service to his lord.~Behold Rinaldo then in fury riding,~And
 30     2|        too slow.~ ~ XXIV~At night Rinaldo rests his steed, with pain~
 31     2|           lately shamed;~And send Rinaldo to the neighbouring state~
 32     2|         envoy for delay.~ ~ XXVII~Rinaldo never executed thing~Less
 33     2|        many a test,~Equal to good Rinaldo's shone confessed.~ ~ XXXII~
 34     3| descendent of first Henry's race.~Rinaldo shall succeed him in his
 35     3|         hate.~ ~ XXXVIII~"In good Rinaldo equal worth shall shine,~(
 36     4|   followed Love's imperious lead,~Rinaldo, disembarks on British land,~
 37     4|          noble cavalier,~Who with Rinaldo came from the Levant;~Iroldo,
 38     4|       shall speed,~And turn we to Rinaldo in his need.~ ~ LI~Day after
 39     4|         LI~Day after day the good Rinaldo fares,~Forced by the wind,
 40     4|           of their valiant feats, Rinaldo true~Forthwith his armour
 41     4|         common thought."~ ~ LXIII~Rinaldo mused awhile, and then replied,~"
 42     4|          borne too long."~To good Rinaldo's sentence, with one will,~
 43     4|           cleared the hemisphere,~Rinaldo took his steed and armour
 44     4|          mournful mien.~This when Rinaldo near approaching eyes,~He
 45     4|         sight:~Nor cares the good Rinaldo to pursue.~To her approaching,
 46     5|    brother in disguise. In season~Rinaldo comes to venge the secret
 47     5|           ruffians two,~Whom good Rinaldo from the damsel scared,~
 48     5|          slaves content."~Thus to Rinaldo did Dalinda say,~As they
 49     5|      quarrel, was to be,~The good Rinaldo pricked, nor spared his
 50     5|         Yet followed, trusting in Rinaldo's brand.~The gate was shut,
 51     5|           near,~What this implies Rinaldo makes demand:~To him was
 52     5|        the peer the portal hight.~Rinaldo through the empty city rode,~
 53     5|           exulting eye.~ ~ LXXXII~Rinaldo pierces through the parted
 54     5|       make him way:~Above is seen Rinaldo's lofty form,~The flower
 55     5|       Dread sir," to him the good Rinaldo said,~"Let not the pair
 56     5|         the realm and others near~Rinaldo all the treacherous plot
 57     5|           denied.~To him the good Rinaldo in reply;~"By deeds be now
 58     5|        his lance in rest;~As well Rinaldo spurred the knight to meet,~
 59     5|         replaced;~So that he good Rinaldo singly graced.~ ~ XCI~And
 60     6|       court beside,~And mostly at Rinaldo's instigation,~Assigned

 64     6|        fish.~ ~ XLI~"To Dudon and Rinaldo's signal blind,~I go, who
 65     8|       shape Melissa does restore;~Rinaldo levies knights and squadrons,
 66     8|           For Scotland; to pursue Rinaldo's beat.~ ~ XXII~By king,
 67     8|        and by all degrees,~To Sir Rinaldo was large welcome paid;~
 68     8|          needs.~Meantime the good Rinaldo on his mission,~Leaving
 69     8|         The wind sat in the poop; Rinaldo good~Embarked and bade farewell
 70     8|    pressed,~A broad commission to Rinaldo brave,~With letters to the
 71     8|      gratified.~Next, all to good Rinaldo's wish, was done:~Since

 83    16|         for, that need~Might good Rinaldo in his speech infer;~And
 84    16|          a deadly chill.~ ~ XLIII~Rinaldo spurs before the troops
 85    16|          from the following herd,~Rinaldo forth upon Baiardo spurred.~ ~

 91    16|          Moors believed that with Rinaldo's thew~And muscle fortified,
 92    16|         But that in time his need Rinaldo spied.~ ~ LXXIX~Elsewhere
 93    16|       Africans had left the peer.~Rinaldo turned about and took his
