Canto

  1     1|         this is what the weeping monarch rued,~And this he so bewailed
  2     1|          her to seek the martial monarch's aid,~Who swayed the sceptre
  3     1|        sore against his will the monarch stayed.~He donned his helm (
  4     1|        full of fell despite,~The monarch ill the interruption bore,~
  5     1|      Grieve not," she said, "sir monarch, for thy fall;~But let the
  6     1|       thinking but increased the monarch's pain,~He climbed the other
  7     2|       The Alfana that the Indian monarch rode,~The fairest was that
  8     4|    undertaken by a cavalier.~Our monarch's daughter needs some friendly
  9     5|      land.~ ~ XVIII~"Dear to the monarch, to the daughter still~This
 10     5|           To please so well that monarch, as to be~By him accounted
 11     5|      courtly cavalier,~Or by the monarch, heard with tearless eye.~
 12     5|       Feigned that meanwhile the monarch's anger ran~Too high, he
 13     5|       stops his horse before the monarch's chair,~While all to hear
 14     6|     happier hour;~Since this the monarch made his daughter's dower.~ ~
 15     8|         men was seeking, for his monarch's aid,~In Charles's name;
 16     9|          wilt join the Hibernian monarch's hand,~Who forms a fair
 17     9|         son,~Arbantes hight (the monarch had no more),~To Holland
 18     9|      tidings told to Friesland's monarch, he~Confiding to his son
 19     9|        be freed~When I am to the monarch's hands conveyed:~Thus I,
 20     9|         One, good Orlando to the monarch's ear~Bade bear a message, `
 21     9|          too swift.~ ~ LXXII~The monarch turns his back, and leaves
 22    10|       Scots, a crew~Led by their monarch's son, Zerbino, view.~ ~
 23    11|         even in her citadel,~His monarch Agramant to satisfy,~Brunello
 24    11|          recommends~To the Irish monarch, who to serve her swore:~
 25    12|         would be most fool?" the monarch said;~"But if indeed you
 26    12|          enrolled~Or Tremisena's monarch, who was said~'Mid Africans
 27    13|           Of Louis born, twelfth monarch of his name,~And Bretagne'
 28    14|          And next, without their monarch Fulvirant,~Erst killed by
 29    14|          woman triumphs in their monarch spent.~ ~  XVIII~Marmonda'

 32    14|         XLIV~Great is the Tartar monarch's daring, those~At such
 33    14|    chivalry:~Who all advised the monarch to prepare~For the assault
 34    14|         the assault (so bids the monarch) form;~Who will himself

 36    14|      seems, will Setta's valiant monarch hide:~Morocco's king and
 37    14|         she it was, whom Sarza's monarch more~Loved than his realm, --
 38    15|          fitting guard. Upon the monarch wait~King Bambirago, 'mid
 39    15|      Mulga, Prusion,~The wealthy monarch of the blessed isles;~Malabuferzo,
 40    15|         the left bank of Rhine a monarch bred;~No sovereign is so
 41    15|          this captain clears the monarch's way;~But on his country,
 42    16|         and sinew, to resist~The monarch was, but ill supplied with
 43    16|        By King Sobrino sent, the monarch's aid.~ ~ LXXVIII~He more

 46    17|        went;~Hence by the kindly monarch much esteemed,~And Gryphon

 48    17|           in martial course,~The monarch would assay his warriors'
 49    17|           The gorgeous feast our monarch will display~Each fourth
 50    17|    before his eyes.~ ~ XXVI~"Our monarch, who is named king Norandine~(
 51    17|    through neighbouring vale the monarch roves,~And secret wood,
 52    17|   Through empty tent and hut the monarch wends:~Nor who has robbed
 53    17|      their pinnace to convey~The monarch thence: but he no sooner
 54    17|         re-appear.~ ~ XXXIX~"The monarch to the cave did Fortune
 55    17|         XLIV~"To her the amorous monarch made reply,~That he the
 56    17|      hope conducts me here,' the monarch said,~`To save thee and
 57    17|        We slay (persuaded by the monarch bold)~As many goats as with
 58    17|        by the sword,~Had not the monarch quickly stopt the fray.~
 59    17|          by blood and might,~The monarch formed, and marched for
 60    17|      dight,~And stand before the monarch, in the weed~Of him who
 61    18|  Cloridano tread,~And find their monarch Dardinello dead.~ ~ ~ I~

 65    18|          LXIX~When he beheld the monarch's altered cheer,~Who bent
 66    18|    before them made its way.~The monarch of the tidings was advised,~
 67    18|       knight~Could by a puissant monarch rendered be,~Him with the
 68    18|          brethren witnessing~The monarch's drunken eyes with venom
 69    18|     square the mob withdrew;~The monarch raged with anger and despite.~
 70    18|          cruel fight;~And to the monarch next, amid his brand,~Cries,

 72    18|      rampart span.~With the bold monarch of Andology,~The valiant
 73    18|      given; because that day~The monarch had beheld the valiant two~
 74    19|        master laid.~He, with the monarch, buried Cloridane,~And after
 75    24|         fight defy.~ ~ XXVI~"The monarch's justice, who fair field
 76    24|    betrothed, a mighty cross~The monarch deems, and comes to venge
 77    24|          twain,~Loudly began the monarch of Argier~To threat with
 78    24|          heat.~At him the Sarzan monarch drives amain;~Who stands
 79    25|       The tidings to the Spanish monarch past.~Thou that whilere

 83    26|          one stirrup's loss, the monarch reeled.~-- "Rogero," Mandricardo
 84    26|        No less was by the Tartar monarch done;~Who neither Child

 86    27|       Now smiles upon the paynim monarch, who~Besieges royal Charlemagne

 93    27|         a guise, yet grieved the monarch more.~ ~ XCV~Not that he
 94    27|      here his honour touched the monarch deemed,~So that his visage
 95    27|      should refrain.~In that the monarch would do ill to force~Even-handed
 96    27|         best lore, at length the monarch said,~And to obey his sentence
 97    27|           There will no more the monarch of Algiers~Abide, but of
 98    27|           Would fain behold that monarch's kingdom drowned~With such
 99    27|       That through his means the monarch, brought thus low,~His fathers'
100    28|        confest.~This pleased the monarch, who the praise conferred,~
101    28|          And, questioned by that monarch, on a day,~If ever in his
102    28|     before.~ ~ XXX~"Glad was the monarch, of his coming taught,~As
103    28|     curtiest wight,~And greatest monarch; Oh! what appetite!'~ ~
104    28|          had heard.~ ~ XLII~"The monarch, who to every thing beside~
105    28|        to that chink the Lombard monarch led,~Who spied the mannikin
106    28|      another, with surprise,~The monarch and Jocundo are confused;~
107    28|         in this wise,~The paynim monarch from the table rose:~Then
108    28| encounters equal pain;~The pagan monarch so found small relief,~By

112    30|         upspringing, "Arms," the monarch cries,~And shows a visage
113    30|        Not unavenged the unhappy monarch dies;~For in the very moment
114    30|          the same moment he that monarch slew:~He, albeit thick,

118    32|         Thither, unbidden by the monarch, sped,~Prompt to assist
119    32|       with what joy and glee~The monarch greeted her who brought
120    32|        tidings paynim prince and monarch read:~Since, knowing either'
121    33|           Hither Great Britain's monarch sent the seer,~To him, that

124    33|      detain.~Behold that valiant monarch couch his spear,~And in
125    33|        Genoa's burghers, by this monarch broke,~And rebel city stooping
126    33|      Pavia's walls surround.~The monarch sees but that which he commands,~
127    33|      Spaniards round the valiant monarch wield.~Behold! his horse

131    33|      heritage,~Like Lucifer, the monarch waxed in pride,~And war
132    33|        royal meat,~Nor leave the monarch aught to drink or eat.~ ~
133    33|         fittest mean~To free the monarch from those birds unclean;~ ~
134    34|           And craved me from the monarch as his wife,~As meed of

141    34|         Though thousands aid the monarch in his need,~And, in despite
142    35|       affray,~Conquers the giant monarch of Argier,~And of the good
143    35|       that more doughty were the monarch's deeds;~But that the wily
144    35|         martial scale,~The moody monarch threatens her to slay,~Unless
145    35|      assay."~Silent remained the monarch of Argier,~Amazed, that
146    35|           alone,~Afoot the moody monarch left that ground:~Yet not
147    35|      afoot, did part~That paynim monarch from the bridge of dread;~
148    35|       heart's core;~And such the monarch's chance, he quickly learned~(

156    38|     tiding brings;~And finds her monarch half subdued in Arles,~For
157    38|         those lords among --~The monarch so bespeaks the assembled
158    38|       course pursue,~Yea (as the monarch said) your course outrun.~

164    39|       into the town:~So has that monarch holy faith at heart.~'Tis
165    39|       his first passage, Sarza's monarch took.~Thenceforth had been
166    39|        flying Moors, so well the monarch chased,~As to o'ertake him
167    40|   command, and little space~That monarch had to fortify the place.~ ~
168    40|       towards heaven, and to the monarch cried:~"I see so fell and
169    41|           And presses Sericana's monarch hard,~Turns round, and,
170    41|       Thought from the trunk the monarch's head to smite.~Sobrino,
171    42|         little light~The wounded monarch had, amid much shade:~For
172    43|         hermit; and as well~That monarch made as vigorous as whilere.~
173    43|         fear~Of some mistake the monarch's tongue was tied.~But when
174    44|    bested;~What time the Spanish monarch's hest was done,~And with
175    44|    pained;~When one for Africk's monarch couched the spear,~And one
176    44|       rein;~Nor aught omits that monarch which may do~The warrior
177    45|       testify~And many gifts the monarch's courteous vein.~His journey'
178    46|         German crew~The puissant monarch leads his martial band,~
179    46|      twice sore anguish felt the monarch, gored~In flank and thigh,
180    46|   despite;~So vainly strives the monarch of Argier~To rise from underneath
