Canto

  1     1|        rode at speed~The warrior knew, and, while yet distant,
  2     1|          pair at fault, for they~Knew not by which she might her
  3     1|    weened, a courser's tramp she knew.~Softly she rises, and the
  4     1|          king by long experience knew~Above all other lovers,
  5     3|         to the speech; while she~Knew not, sore marvelling at
  6     5|          to my bower ascend,~But knew not who the wight, with
  7     5|         many a day~Was there who knew what moved the youth to
  8     5|      fair;~Who, for disguise (he knew not hence his name),~Had
  9     5|          him came,~Swore that he knew not what the stranger's
 10     6|       well the youthful champion knew,~Believed he was so wary
 11     7|          damsel saw, nor whither knew.~ ~ XXXIV~Of her I speak
 12     7|         She all Rogero's fortune knew, how freed;~Then borne to
 13     7|      perilous, unwonted way:~And knew that he sport, dance, and
 14     7|         and face, and cheer,~She knew so well, that, by the youth
 15     7|         ere of his escape Alcina knew,~The gentle youth was far
 16     8|       they longer cross.~ ~ X~He knew each little that he longer
 17     8|      what to do the timid damsel knew,~Save that she closer to
 18     8|       king, to whom 'twas given,~Knew that the saving succour
 19     9|     tongues beside the French he knew;~And in the African so well
 20     9|       remnant quell.~Bireno, who knew nought of this, had weighed,~
 21     9|          killed Bireno, since he knew~No other trouble could inflict
 22    10|          bed in silence, when he knew~She slept: his clothes he
 23    11|        serve to cast a stone,~He knew not if he heard, or did
 24    11|        with as little dread;~Who knew that he the rout which threatened
 25    11|          other arms arrayed;~But knew not that, from head to foot,
 26    11|         bore,~He for the country knew the stranger knight~As he
 27    11|         fear have done;~ ~  LXII~Knew him, because a page of honour
 28    12|         her guide, her lord,~She knew not if her champion she
 29    12|          Alzirdo he by those who knew him, hight:~ ~ LXX~These,
 30    12|         the country all about he knew.~Does he the right or left-hand
 31    13|      party sped,~Before the city knew what was at hand;~Some of
 32    13|              XXXI~"But that they knew, for me preserved a maid,~
 33    13|       the County cried: "I never knew~A man more opportune my
 34    14|       her party-coloured vest he knew.~Unequal strips and many
 35    14|       mansion blind~Full well he knew) this Silence he may find.~ ~
 36    15|      lost, -- nor whitherward he knew:~Such is his fear, he kens
 37    15|        sorely troubled them, ill knew~How to resist the wishes
 38    16|        Then Artalico and Margano knew~The force of Ariodantes'
 39    17|         thence: but he no sooner knew~Of the fell orc, and those
 40    17|        how late it was, awaking, knew,~With speed he from the
 41    17|        hidden till that day;~And knew, to his great sorrow, in
 42    18|       joy, when she the occasion knew~Which thither brought the
 43    18|        as the redoubted Rodomont~Knew in the dwarf the courier
 44    18|      keep all steeds beside;~And knew already where the prize
 45    18|      expected sport,~Because all knew not what had moved the rage~
 46    18|         first approach, Astolpho knew,~For still the same device
 47    18|       arms, pursued the peer,~He knew, which were the occasion
 48    18|     colloquy,~Aquilant came, and knew Astolpho good,~Whom he heard
 49    18|      best portion neither signal knew,~Nor listened to the drum
 50    19|     shoulders born.~The place he knew not, and mistook the way,~
 51    20|        men, and those that never knew~Their worth, have haply
 52    20|         to their women; for they knew~How ill they could endure
 53    21|          the approaching warrior knew,~(Hermonides of Holland
 54    21|          foe to her and hers she knew~The knight they were encountering,
 55    21|         her blind desires, which knew not rest~In seeking what
 56    21|          had in hand,~Who better knew what deadly poisons slay~
 57    21|      assistants, that the matter knew~From the old man who lingered
 58    22|        world invest.~Him well he knew, how fit for his behoof;~
 59    22|       behind,~Rogero looked, and knew what till that day~He had
 60    22|          the cavalier,~Bradamant knew to be the wicked Count,~
 61    23|      Bradamant her gentle cousin knew.~Him from afar she hailed

 63    23|   fearing evermore to go astray,~Knew not how thither she might
 64    23|    straight the miserable father knew;~And on the woman's tale
 65    23|          had ta'en.~ ~ LXXII~Yet knew not that it was Anglantes'
 66    23|           LXXIV~"I was not, as I knew, in following slow~Both
 67    23|          writing of his deity~He knew, as soon as he had marked
 68    24|         they, in their disorder, knew not where,~As happens oftentimes
 69    24|    Zerbino speedily the prisoner knew,~And Isabel, as soon, when
 70    24|        The royal damsel Isabella knew;~And deemed he was her lover
 71    24|       departed, when the thing I knew,~Seeking the wretch these
 72    24|           nor what to think they knew:~They of all matters else
 73    24|        as he his front~Uplifted, knew; and showed him to her knight:~
 74    25|           XLIX~"Of Flordespine I knew: and I had seen~In Saragossa
 75    26|  Saracens the stranger band they knew;~And they upon two sorry

 78    26|       And, through that courser, knew the knight astride;~And
 79    26|          strong.~But Mandricardo knew not of this right,~Nor would
 80    27|        appear~By open signs they knew him for the Cheat.~Marphisa
 81    27|          that Michael in the sky~Knew the glad sign of conquest
 82    28|        will but hers the husband knew:~Yet at his sovereign's
 83    28| Forthwith Jocundo that adulterer knew,~By practice, of his features
 84    29|          vainly made,~Because he knew not how to swim, was drowned.~
 85    29|   cavalier,~The miserable county knew aright;~And mighty marvel
 86    30|     Rogero's name the assistants knew;~-- Gradasso's left behind --
 87    31|       charms~Of peace, who never knew the pain of arms.~ ~ III~
 88    31|          his blow:~But when they knew, well neighed in doubtful
 89    31|     little of his valiant foeman knew;~Nor in that lord Mount

 95    33|    warrior's mood)~Was that they knew the damsel would recite~
 96    34|          too well my obligations knew,~And would be prompt my
 97    35|          pay.~Fair Bradamant who knew the piteous tale,~How murdered
 98    35|        the knight,~But that they knew his pitiable plight.~ ~
 99    36|         of the lance so quaintly knew?~And of Ferrau, who spake

104    36|         line, the martial damsel knew;~Blazoned through years
105    36|  afterwards she from her brother knew~Agramant's uncle, sire,

107    37|         mansion in that fortress knew.~ ~ XCIX~As soon as in the
108    38|         provident and sage,~That knew how young Rogero's charmed

110    39|         was good Orlando plainly knew,~By signs, whereof those
111    39|        their eyes and lids; then knew the peer;~And, seeing him
112    40|         by Brigliadoro; since he knew~In Agramant's possession
113    40|     useless is the empty hand he knew;~That where force is not,
114    40|      demand; and in the stranger knew~Dudon, the Danish Ogier'
115    40|          the least he could,~And knew he should offend her, if
116    41|     could smite.~When finally he knew, and plain descried~Rogero
117    41|  redoubted king of Sericane;~And knew that he, besides his fearful
118    42|         s bosom bred:~The wizard knew, a hundred times and more,~
119    43|         taught, and sew,~Minerva knew not better; did she sing,~
120    43|     enter safely, that my palace knew,~And with me wends Melissa;
121    43|        her recall,~Since, as she knew, to her my love was shown;~
122    43|      tied.~But when those others knew the cavalier~For that Rogero,
123    44|       risk by Richardetto run~He knew, and how Rogero him bested;~
124    44|        he Rogero for a Christian knew,~What could not then be
125    44|  together peer and paladine:~Nor knew that Aymon, with King Charles'
126    44|    scarcely joyful tale Astolpho knew,~He, seeing evermore fair
127    44|         faith he had embraced he knew;~Of all instructed by that
128    44|          worth in arms.~ ~ XC~He knew full well by ensignry displaid,~
129    44|            CIV~He by the buckler knew as soon as spied~The cavalier,
130    45|       all the bridge could gain)~Knew what a cruel slaughter had
131    45|        the Greeks was slain;~And knew that by a cavalier alone~
132    45|          be her woe,~If what she knew not to the maid were known!~
133    45|      loved,~Not that the Grecian knew howe'er that he~Rogero was,
134    45|      measured well his might,~He knew he was no match for her
135    45|          maid await;~For well he knew against the enchanted blade~
136    45|          she remembered her, and knew~Her peril, save the foe
137    45|         hard a feat for him; and knew not how~Thence into solitary
138    45|       combat with Rogero was, he knew,~Unsafe, unless that knight
139    46|  honoured by the best -- I never knew;~But, if by certain tokens
140    46|       That I Rogero hated, ere I knew~Thou was Rogero, will I
141    46|       shew.~So that they quickly knew the cavalier~From him that
142    46|       the stranger knight Rogero knew;~ ~ LX~And ran forthwith
143    46|      Presageful of futurity, she knew~What goodly fruit should
144    46|          should grow~(Albeit she knew far distant from its root,~
145    46|         the wary youth the error knew~Through which he might have
