Canto

  1     1|            late contended for the maid,~Enamored of that beauty
  2     1|        hand.~As soon as seen, the maid who rode at speed~The warrior
  3     1|           united chased the royal maid.~ ~ XXII~Oh! goodly truth
  4     1|          rest herself a while the maid intends,~Wearied with that
  5     1|           remembered by the royal maid.~ ~ XLVI~He for her sake
  6     1|       builder rears.~Like haughty maid, who holds herself above~
  7     1|         not the more for this the maid intends~To heal the mischief
  8     1|           free.~And now again the maid her thoughts addressed~Towards
  9     1|           with troubled face,~The maid spectatress of the cruel
 10     1|          tried valour of a gentle maid.~ ~ LXX~"Bold is the maid;
 11     1|         maid.~ ~ LXX~"Bold is the maid; but fairer yet than bold,~
 12     1|         rock.~ ~ LXXV~Then to the maid he goes submissively,~With
 13     1|       convert to sudden hate;~The maid no sooner had Rinaldo spied,~
 14     2|       foul misdeed;~And horse and maid, whose worth outstrips belief,~
 15     2|      meaner might;~And chased the maid by woods, and floods, and
 16     2|        desire to bring him to the maid,~Gallopped before him still
 17     2|         others' cares, the gentle maid addressed~The knight, and
 18     2|           he beheld my dear-loved maid,~Like falcon, who, descending,
 19     2|           prowess of that valiant maid to see.~And now the panting
 20     2|         To learn who that unhappy maid might be,~One on the melancholy
 21     2|        ear; and, bent~To help the maid, imprisoned in that hold,~
 22     2|        fall, and saved the gentle maid.~Some while astounded there
 23     3|          woman issuing forth, the maid addresses,~Barefoot, ungirt,
 24     3|         Fortune, chaste and noble maid, fulfil~Thine every wish!"
 25     3|         the church she called the maid,~Where she had drawn a magic
 26     3|         be.~The first shall wed a maid of France's seed.~This is
 27     3|                LXIV~All night the maid reposes in the cave,~And
 28     3|     already guested.~ ~ LXXVI~The maid Brunello knows as soon as
 29     4|      falls."~ ~ VIII~The watchful maid attends to every thing,~
 30     4|        with spear and shield:~And maid and courier through a valley
 31     4|         woe,~To move the stedfast maid the dwarf had power:~She
 32     4|      appearance well consoled the maid,~Who, with small cause for
 33     4|  enchantments could not blind~The maid, whose virtuous ring assured
 34     4|           For, with the ring, the maid against him goes;~Firm and
 35     4|    between that bold~And puissant maid, and warrior weak and old!~ ~
 36     4|     liberty," replied the martial maid,~"Nor offer shield and courser

 41     5|          to have found the gentle maid,~Who the whole story of
 42     5|       Because he would preserve a maid so fair,~Perils his person
 43     6|           love he lately bore the maid;~For he too foul, and full

 50     8|           the beholder, stood the maid~Alone, as Phoebus, plunged
 51     8|         beach he lies,~And by the maid, exhausted, falls asleep.~
 52     8|             twas no wonder if the maid,~When on the beach she stood
 53     8|            was moved to spare~The maid, for reason or for piety.~
 54     8|     matchless beauty's power, the maid~Was able that fierce crew
 55     8|         to Paris-town to seek the maid,~Had been reported! or those

 57     9|      Since he so long the missing maid pursues,~Nor of the damsel
 58     9|        refused to parlay with the maid,~And give her counsel in

 60    10|       more, a young -- a harmless maid.~ ~ XV~Almighty God! how
 61    10| dishevelled, run;~And seemed like maid beside herself, and who~
 62    10|         fed.~How on the beach the maid became the prize~Of the
 63    10|          towards the rock-chained maid he pressed,~And on her little
 64    10|       moved, forebore,~Untied the maid, and raised her from the
 65    11|           delight, --~That gentle maid, there naked in his hold,~

 79    12|          a fire was seen~A gentle maid of pleasing look and guise;~
 80    13|           I told you how a gentle maid~Orlando had discovered under

 94    18|          prevented by the warlike maid;~Who late into the crowded
