Canto

  1     1|     humble heart.~For though all hope to quit the score were vain,~
  2     1|         nothing comprehends,~(So hope and fear her doubting bosom
  3     1|          empery:~And feels, with hope revived, her bosom beat~
  4     2|      Rinaldo goes where Love and Hope invite,~But is dispatched
  5     2|         What time he snatched my hope and peace away.~ ~ XLI~"
  6     2|           There (fruitless every hope to foil his art)~The felon
  7     2|       strain;~Whose coming added hope to my desire~(Alas! desire
  8     2|         desire~(Alas! desire and hope alike were vain)~Both barons
  9     2|      shield disclosed,~I from my hope and they from freedom fell:~
 10     3|        his early fire)~If such a hope of thine exalted line.~Dark
 11     4|         were met,~Where'er, they hope he may return, pursue~The
 12     4|       other, as it might present~Hope of adventurous quest or
 13     4|          shall die.~Nor is there hope of ransom for her head,~
 14     5|        emprize to quit;~Nor idly hope to turn her stedfast sprite,~
 15     5|       will cease.~ ~ XXIV~" `Nor hope of pleasure this so much
 16     5|      whom you wear the weed:~And hope, that putting on myself
 17     5|      bear you in effect,~If your hope stood more fair to gain
 18     5|              LXXXVII~How was the hope to king and people dear,~
 19     6|        her my every fancy, every hope~Centered and ended as their
 20     6|          that, alas! without the hope of cure?~Why thus the good
 21     6|         truth impart,~Not that I hope with profit to advise:~Yet '
 22     7|        with a heart long torn by Hope and Fear.~ ~ XXVII~When
 23     7|          prey,~Changes it all to hope: the other tells~That with
 24     7|       spy?~ ~ LVIII~"Is this the hope that stars, observed by
 25     7|       show;~A seed which, we may hope, will soon conceive~A Julius,
 26     8|         was the peer,~It was his hope (as he assured his guest)~
 27     8|        throne, which nevermore~I hope to repossess, compelled
 28     8|       her in vain.~ ~ LXXVII~"My hope, where are thou, where?
 29     8|          other quarter cries --~"Hope not on earth to enjoy the
 30     9|     repair~Further, he gives her hope to venge the abuse:~He does
 31    10|   endures her sight;~And, if his hope he long deferred, will die:~
 32    10|      Embarking, I from hence may hope to fly.~Here shall I starve;
 33    10|          other differs; fear~And hope in other on the bosom prey:~
 34    10|       rejoice in this array,~And hope (he said) deliverance through
 35    11|         had passed~Long space in hope the maid might re-appear,~
 36    11|      strives to comfort her, and hope instill,~That future good
 37    12|           But tempered with high hope. Sometimes the peer~Stopt
 38    12|         the stair.~At length, in hope they in the woodlands round~
 39    12|         had not; I have now; and hope~To compass easily my present
 40    12|    greenwood shade,~And when all hope of finding her is spent,~
 41    12|       bush assay;~Even so, where hope the toiling warrior leads,~
 42    13|         gem and vest,~So I might hope Zerbino's lot to share,~
 43    13|     prayer,~And that I could not hope for other aid;~For he assailed
 44    13|      languish in this grave.~All hope is lost of my Zerbino's
 45    13|       And cannot, (so Desire and Hope deceive),~Without the missing
 46    14|    despair can show.~He, who the hope within him entertained~To
 47    14|          know;~Nor pardon can we hope, if we retrace~Our sinful
 48    14|         fortune rare:~Yet have I hope to point him out to thee;~
 49    15|       errant knight~Would vainly hope with life to make retreat;~
 50    15|         Only could him in battle hope to quell:~But this plucked
 51    15|       LXXX~The duke no less with hope of conquest glows~Than if
 52    16|      lord, I should have died of hope delayed."~ ~ XIII~The wicked
 53    16|          their standards, in the hope to gain,~By young Zerbino'
 54    16|        that overhung~Him, in the hope to make him prisoner, flew,~
 55    17|        than her own.~ ~ LII~" `A hope conducts me here,' the monarch
 56    17|      grinding stone:~Yet him the hope detained amid the flock,~
 57    18|         fell;~Never without some hope, that at day-break~The storm
 58    18|       with more fear (his weaker hope o'erthrown).~The sorrowing
 59    18|         fight;~And I more honour hope than trouble dread~From
 60    18|         red.~ ~ CL~"Have thou no hope to make me fly, or yield~
 61    18|      shield;~But I, in God, well hope the contrary.~-- This as
 62    18|        their king,~The heart and hope of all his following.~ ~
 63    18|          the boughs such shelter hope the pair~As may conceal
 64    19|         its spite:~But them with hope of clearer sky sustained~
 65    19|         mail,~And with unceasing hope of comfort fed~Master and
 66    19|         hand;~And, to remove all hope of flight, between~One castle
 67    19|    Marphisa, "and I, at my post,~Hope to prove this upon thee,
 68    20|        his side~Answered, "Ne'er hope: With me you lose or win."~"--
 69    20|          at thy side:~But let us hope not to escape with life.~
 70    20|  interrupt our crew.~'Tis thus I hope, by succour of the sword,~
 71    20|          Think now, if thou hast hope to crop her flower."~-- "
 72    21|     captivity~Thou art; nor ever hope to break thy chain,~Unless
 73    21|             No, no; have thou no hope,' (replied the knight,)~`
 74    22|     wondrous daring glowed,~That hope, which long had ceased to

 76    22|         caitiff plied~Whose last hope of escape in flight was
 77    23|       took the adventure, in the hope to read~Who was the doer
 78    23|      Orlando lean~Upon the empty hope, though ill contented,~Which
 79    23|               CXV~With such vain hope he sought himself to cheat,~
 80    24|  interval of wit;~And strive and hope withal I shall forego~This
 81    24|         Charlemagne,~Thither, in hope to find thee, took my way.~
 82    24|          I of our bodies cherish hope not light,~That they shall

 88    26|        this helm and shield;~And hope, if suffered of your band

 90    27|   furnished as a loan:~Otherwise hope not for that horse, save
 91    27|          When him I such example hope to make,~That thou shalt

 93    28|         in the town.~From others hope is none; since they who

 95    29|         comfort, and his dearest hope;~With all such words as
 96    30|       has done undo.~ ~ III~Well hope I, from your sovereign courtesy,~

106    32|       reign,~Who with this empty hope my fancy feed,~Me in perpetual
107    32|           maugre her affliction, Hope will rise,~And form a lodgement
108    32|    beyond those twenty days~This hope affords fair Bradamant content:~

111    32|     fierce disdain:~From her all hope the wretched damsel spurns,~
112    32|      supplication cannot gain,~I hope to make thee do in they
113    33|     appears the thing,~Devoid of hope remains the mournful king.~ ~

121    37|        desire, on thee bestow,~I hope thy soul shall have; hope
122    37|        hope thy soul shall have; hope to be nigh,~To see thee
123    38|     youthful lord;~Though in the hope more treasure to have won~
124    38|         Weighing in even balance hope and fear,~O'errated still;
125    38|    Bactrian shore,~Ill would you hope to find such other four.~ ~

134    41|         the gulfs of hell.~Small hope there is or none: with faultering
135    41|        escaped from wreck, where hope was none;~When master and
136    41|           I;~Nor is there reason hope to entertain~That, if we
137    41|        upon his side.~To God, in hope that he would hear and spare,~

148    44|          I from my parents am in hope to have~Pardon and pity,

150    44|         would make.~He, save his hope deceived him and was vain,~
151    45|       And that to wed the damsel hope was none,~He fled, perchance,
152    45|           More puissant far than Hope, O Fear! thou art;~To thee,
153    45|       not where, --~Oh! how true Hope false Fear shall from on
154    45|          turn again,~And comfort Hope, whom Fear hath almost slain.~ ~
155    45|          return, Rogero, lest~My hope by fear should wholly be
156    45|       strong foe, and to abandon hope.~ ~ LXXIX~By how much more
157    45|           LXXIX~By how much more hope fails the damsel, so~Much
158    45|        her cruelty,~At least the hope would have remained in store~
159    46|       the neighbouring shore;~So hope withal to pay my promised
160    46|       Malaguzzo know;~And mighty hope from Adoardo hear,~That
161    46|          known; nor he bereft~Of hope should ever be, so life
162    46|         foeman I had reason due.~Hope then that I will succour
163    46|         good fortune which their hope repayed,~Seeing that valiant
164    46|          elected king possest --~Hope the Greek empire from his
165    46|      course to run;~And 'tis his hope to show him he would have~
