Canto

  1   Int|   Angelica is the most beautiful woman any of the Peers have ever
  2     1|      tarry, may be overblown.~To woman, (this my own experience
  3     1|       still in vain,~And found a woman his defeat had wrought,~
  4     3|          whence, face to face,~A woman issuing forth, the maid
  5     3|        on either side,~The weird woman still her faithful guide.~ ~
  6     3|          to guide~(Such the wise woman's scope) the warlike dame;~
  7     4|         and dread,~Wills, that a woman, whether low or high~Her
  8     4|       rank excess;~Say why shall woman -- merit scathe or blame,~
  9     4| injurious law, unequal still,~On woman is inflicted open wrong;~
 10     5|          his foul hand against a woman rears,~Or of her head would
 11     5|          dispossessed?~Die for a woman! rather let her kind~Be
 12     5|     great merit hear!~And say if woman can expect to earn,~However
 13     6|        fair,~Had they observed a woman's fitting port.~All are
 14     8|       for their love make man or woman glow,~Changing them into
 15     8|       surveyed,~If she were real woman, or some mock~Resemblance,
 16     8|       What other good is left to woman, who~Has lost her honour,
 17     8|      statute, which decreed~That woman's flesh the ravening monster,
 18     8|        should feed.~Though to be woman is a crying ill~In every
 19    10|          to the Zealand lord,~No woman's faith more certain could
 20    10|       Her for another, were that woman she~Who so made Europe and
 21    10|   passing goodness was the meed,~Woman take warning from this perfidy,~
 22    10|       night;~And every beauteous woman bore away,~Destined to be
 23    13|       him who pens me here,~This woman quickly will the fact display;~
 24    13|      strung.~ ~ XLII~The ancient woman, the assassin's friend,~
 25    13|     virtues ever yet~Bestowed on woman, since the ruddy flame~Has
 26    14|      Garamantes, and lament~That woman triumphs in their monarch
 27    16|     delayed."~ ~ XIII~The wicked woman, full of subtlety~(Worse
 28    17|          For the orc on flesh of woman never fed.~ ~ XLI~" `Of
 29    18|      LXXIX~And through that evil woman's treachery,~Deemed Gryphon
 30    18|    infamy o'erlaid?~And this the woman of ungrateful mood,~Who
 31    18|   reserve the power~To speak the woman's sentence, mild or stern.~
 32    20|          does so sore oppress~As woman, when her love breeds weariness.~ ~
 33    20|      country, far and wide,~Each woman is not a Medaea here~As
 34    20|   LXXVIII~"I wot if I were for a woman known,~Honour and place
 35    20|       express.~For none can do a woman worse despite~Than to proclaim
 36    20|         lost his queen.~The aged woman now, from what he said,~
 37    20|          in the hints of the old woman, read~That she had news
 38    20|      rest,~Since speaking to the woman booted nought;~Scarcely
 39    21|       perpetrated on the twain.~"Woman, while guarded by my arm (
 40    21|         arm thee not on that old woman's side,~Who by my hand shall
 41    21|         with chivalry,~That he a woman should desire to kill;~Yet
 42    21|          wish to dip his hand in woman's blood.~ ~ IX~This and
 43    21|          Upon account of a false woman's spite;~Whose wicked cause
 44    21|    resists the will~Of that foul woman, sink of every ill.~ ~ XVII~"
 45    21|        oftentimes that shameless woman prest~The good Philander,
 46    21|      side!'~ ~ XLVI~"The impious woman answered, ` 'Tis my will~
 47    21|      When his mistake to him the woman showed,~And to have slain
 48    21|       fears opprest?~Thus by the woman's suddenness constrained,~
 49    21|       offered price will buy~The woman's leave to let him thence
 50    21|       promised way,~With the old woman in his escort, went,~And
 51    22|       from the reign~Of that ill woman who him, sore bested,~Had
 52    22|        issuing from the chase,~A woman, with a passing woful face.~ ~
 53    22|         still humane~To all, but woman most, when he discerned~
 54    22|        her on foot, and had that woman old~In the dismounted damsel'
 55    22|       one.~To them exclaimed the woman: "Why in vain~Waste you
 56    23|       rude,~And with the impious woman thence, in quest~Of inn,
 57    23|    declare;~Till this the wicked woman chanced to hear,~Who past
 58    23|          father knew;~And on the woman's tale and token built~A
 59    23|         shape,~Upon that ancient woman, figuring~Like monkey, rather
 60    23|         forest gray~That ancient woman, almost dead with fear,~
 61    24|        Sore weeping came the old woman, and demand~For succour,
 62    24|          XLI~"I will, if so this woman shall command,~With whosoe'
 63    24|          company with that curst woman went.~What these befel Sir
 64    24|         me -- by words unscared.~Woman, or child, or him he terrifies,~
 65    25|       The damsel should a gentle woman scan,~Rather than take me
 66    25|     female, mid mankind or herd.~Woman to woman's beauty still
 67    25|        mankind or herd.~Woman to woman's beauty still is blind;~
 68    25|         spread it, and -- as I a woman were --~The lady me in that
 69    25|          I hear resound,~As of a woman who intreated aid.~To a
 70    25|          Feel, I am changed from woman into man.~ ~ LXV - LXIX~ (

 74    27|        If he with pain subdued a woman, shame,~Rather than honour,

 81    28|      England scower, and where~A woman they of lovely visage spy,~
 82    28|          do~In order not to be a woman's jest?~Since we, with all
 83    29|          I saw that Saracen~With woman, so outrageous in his hate,~
 84    30|        foul misdeed,~That from a woman took Frontino good.~And
 85    32|          it then that suddenly~A woman's feeble sense opprest should

 88    32|         why should I the name of woman bear,~That in my actions
