Canto

  1     1|          realm of France Spain's martial flower.~'Twas thus Orlando
  2     1|         slew most paynims in the martial fray.~But counter to his
  3     1|      Sericane~By her to seek the martial monarch's aid,~Who swayed
  4     3|       that thrill,~Addressed the martial virgin from the grave;~"
  5     3|        flourish as the flower of martial fields.~ ~ XLIII~"By him
  6     3|        most he shine in peace or martial fray.~ ~ XLVII~"Lucania,
  7     4|         To liberty," replied the martial maid,~"Nor offer shield

  9     8|        round herself arrayed her martial swarms.~ ~ XIII~Divided
 10     8|          was done:~Since for his martial bands on every side,~In
 11    11|     human heart?~Through thee is martial glory lost, through thee~
 12    13|        And yet again advised the martial maid,~(Counsel she had a
 13    14|      Appeared King Oran with his martial train,~Who might almost
 14    14|          paynim host;~But in the martial muster sign was none,~Nor
 15    14|         witnesses with joy their martial beat,~But to permit their
 16    14|       With these, that men their martial worth may know.~ ~ CXIV~
 17    15|        and base, whose hearts in martial fields~Had found no shelter
 18    15|       Europe rings with arms and martial deeds,~And war is everywhere
 19    16|      Whole and collected for the martial game:~Then to his horse
 20    16|         captain, armour, and for martial lore.~ ~ LIV~Less worthless
 21    16|  harnessed, and worse trained to martial fray,~Forthwith King Dardinel,
 22    17|        new emprise; by which, in martial course,~The monarch would
 23    17|       display;~Better to see the martial gallants ride~By twos and
 24    17|        Gryphon's might,~Into the martial press rides valiantly,~Then
 25    17|         of case again to ply,~In martial tournament, the sword or
 26    18|          marvellously fierce, in martial raid.~ ~ XCIX~Marphisa was
 27    18|          pressed Orlando sore in martial game,~And him who had Mount
 28    18|         she fain would prove her martial might,~And to defy the pair
 29    18|          The paladin salutes the martial queen.~ ~ CII~They questioned
 30    18|          Syrian king invites, in martial play, --~The bold Marphisa,
 31    18|    Straight to the city ride the martial band,~And, through the high-street,
 32    18|     Norandine, sure that, in the martial game,~Both prizes destined
 33    18|   following t'wards the gate the martial maid,~(The mob dividing
 34    19|           Than thitherward, with martial garb and mien,~Six thousand
 35    19|         with the others she, the martial maid,~Will run her risque;
 36    19|        Pricked forth against the martial maid, to show~'Twas courtesy,
 37    19|         other takes himself: the martial pair~Already, with their
 38    20|      Refused not to disclose her martial name,~Since he agreed to
 39    20|       gathering arms and levying martial band,~Phalantus' service
 40    20|      Guido ceased to address the martial peers,~And cursed withal
 41    20|          should, if slain, those martial peers~Deliver by his death
 42    20|              I fear not, I," the martial maid replied,~"To execute
 43    20|        by my hand should die~The martial race, encompassed by this
 44    20|          I will first pursue the martial maid,~Ere more of these,

 46    22|     valiant warriors, skilled in martial play,~Our age has seen not.
 47    22|        and leave your steeds and martial geer;~Nor put yourselves
 48    22|      Cast into Merlin's tomb the martial may;~When her a bough, which
 49    22|     hopes to view his well-loved martial maid;~And thitherward, without
 50    23|        buried deep in earth, the martial maid;~Nor weening to behold
 51    23|         she for him preserve the martial weed;~Since of his arms
 52    25|     Disarmed, another casqued in martial sort;~And with them was
 53    25|        youth's hands, and him in martial gear~Was hastening, with
 54    25|   Covered, except her face, with martial gear,~-- In place of spindle,

 60    26|          aid.~ ~ CXXV~Marphisa's martial steed, in turning short,~
 61    27|          so fast;~And hence that martial pair arrives the last.~ ~
 62    27|     Ranged on the other part, in martial wise,~Italians, English,
 63    27|   renowned for trophies won,~The martial maid, Marphisa's fearless
 64    27|          would meet him first in martial course.~ ~ XLIII~The Tartar

 66    27|      voice which champions me to martial field;~But see that his
 67    27|        armour sheen;~Nor without martial cuirass on her breast,~Find
 68    27|          He had to overcome that martial maid,~If he with pain subdued
 69    27|         he, nor let scathe, that martial maid,~Neither endured that
 70    30|        be.~In arms will make his martial prowess known,~As for the
 71    30|         field of combat to those martial lords.~ ~ XXVIII~Nor what
 72    30|        Nor worthy to be tried in martial field;~And prayed them --
 73    30|         And shall Rogero, new to martial lore,~Me, onto to one, with
 74    30|      wend their way~In arms, the martial paladin behind.~Bradamant,
 75    31|       more question, charged the martial two.~Rinaldo with the friendly
 76    31|       with Marphisa leagued, the martial maid,~Sansonet, and the
 77    31|        brayed,~So many drums and martial noises sounded;~So many

 80    32|       All gentle bearing and all martial might?~As there is nothing,
 81    32|           Norway one;~Surpast in martial praise by few or none.~ ~
 82    32|    boldest of the bold,~Amid the martial ranks of chivalry.~Serves

 85    32|        Yet higher honours to the martial maid.~ ~  LXXXII~With modest
 86    32| admission,~Though unadorned that martial maid be seen,~Thou canst

 88    33|        that he vanished from the martial maid,~And with the vision
 89    34|          never moved a-field his martial train,~But when that warrior
 90    35|        to the peer.~Duke Aymon's martial daughter in affray,~Conquers
 91    35|       And as the maid appears in martial scale,~The moody monarch
 92    35|         Scarce for her horse the martial damsel can~Find space to
 93    35|         These warriors' arms the martial maid bade lower~From that
 94    35|          mournful Flordelice the martial maid,~She that still held
 95    35|          My company (replied the martial fair)~For some part of the
 96    35|          proud Moor was flung in martial course.~ ~ LX~"Say thus,
 97    35|      furthest barrier, stops the martial fair;~To furnish Flordelice
 98    35|         the field;~And loud that martial damsel's bugle pealed.~ ~
 99    35|  Champions like thee, untried in martial feat."~ ~ LXXIII~They on

101    35|  Discoursing all this while, the martial maid~Spake with her beavor
102    36|     Marphisa bold; but when that martial may~Has for her brother
103    36|          the knight, that on the martial plain~The manage of the
104    36|      Resembles much in mien that martial peer.~ ~ XIV~"The damsel

107    36|     LXVII~Gladly a sister in the martial queen~Rogero, she in him
108    36|      trace~Their noble line, the martial damsel knew;~Blazoned through
109    36|       lord no more."~So says the martial damsel, nor implies~The
110    37|         and shameful, glows~Each martial damsel's visage, overspread~
111    37|         this show.~ ~ XXXVII~The martial damsels bid for Ulany,~And
112    37|           and of royal mien each martial brother;~ ~ XLVII~"And truly
113    37|        saying, in those maids of martial might~First she such pity

117    38|          liege-lord; so did that martial maid;~Who had not with reiterated
118    38|    oftentimes espied ere now~Her martial prowess, tried by goodly
119    38|       And holy skill may be that martial fair.~ ~ XXIII~In sacred
120    38|       Mandricardo from our host;~Martial Gradasso hath withdrawn
121    38|    Matched singly with a host of martial peers.~ ~ LXIII~"Meseemeth,
122    38|        to impart,~As of his many martial lords the best,~Yet shows

126    39|       slew,~Charging at his more martial squadrons' head;~And with
127    39|        whom so often crost,~That martial maid had her Rogero lost.~ ~
128    39|       rider's haste.~But neither martial maid, amid that herd~Of
129    40|       for aid.~ ~  XLI~Jugurtha, martial Hannibal, and more~In ancient
130    40|          both retreated from the martial fray,~Beholding pact and
131    40|         not in battle mixed that martial lord.~ ~ LXIV~Thence he
