Canto

  1     1|            strain of Roland will I tell~Things unattempted yet in
  2     1|         went but now his way:~Then tell the warrior's name, that
  3     2|         tale; yet scarcely dare~To tell to other what I stood and
  4     3|         long time awaited thee,~To tell what is the heavens' pronounced
  5     3|       wizard's grave.~ ~ XXIII~"To tell at large the puissant acts
  6     3|          to the damsel bright;~"To tell the deeds which they shall
  7     3|          task too long; as long to tell each deed~Achieved for Rome
  8     3|      practised and so sly~As now I tell thee, by his king is sent,~
  9     3|        sound implies~I, sir, shall tell hereafter with its cause;~
 10     4|          none returned the tale to tell.~So that I doubt, fair sir,
 11     4|       virgin blood.~'Twere long to tell who launched the cruel dart,~
 12     4|           a doom;~And she began to tell in humble tone~What to another
 13     5|            damsel, fair of hue,~To tell the occasion of her scathe
 14     5|           nothing hide,~And I will tell the secrets of my suit:~
 15     5|     betides me to Geneura say;~And tell her, too, the occasion of
 16     7|       small credence to the tale I tell.~ ~ II~But this be great
 17     7|    obtained for which she came.~To tell you that which was not told
 18     7|            and gone.~My next shall tell his route, and how he gained~
 19     8|            they falsely or aright,~Tell how a puissant king this
 20     8|       returns.~No more I now shall tell you of these two,~More bent
 21     8|           canto which ensues shall tell.~
 22     9|                 XXXVIII~"To them I tell my project, and the pair~
 23     9|          sad news should to Bireno tell:~While he toils sore his
 24     9|        that I confer with you,~And tell my case to all who seek
 25     9|         one and all: Twere long to tell~How she caressed Bireno,
 26    10|        each troop shall separately tell.~ ~  LXXVII~"Lo! where yon
 27    12|           before~I of those others tell, I should display~The labours
 28    13|            Pursuing now my tale, I tell, how drowned~In grief (her
 29    13|       Zerbino to possess,~I cannot tell thee with what happiness.~ ~
 30    13|           daughters' honour more I tell~Than of the lofty virtue
 31    13|            LXXIII~" 'Twere long to tell of Alda de Sansogna,~Or
 32    13|      appears that, in the things I tell,~The wider here and there
 33    14|          thy bands example be,~And tell what ills such license still
 34    14|         which breeds terror but to tell.~ ~ XXXII~When the squire
 35    14|        beauteous were as what they tell.~He wound his way 'mid corpses,
 36    14|      Moorish monarch's force would tell,~Which Charlemagne this
 37    14|        wide-circling blow so fully tell.~The first half Flemings
 38    14|       unmentioned fall,~Who cannot tell the name and land of all.~ ~
 39    15|           was ashamed his grief to tell.~ ~ CIV~This: for that Aquilant
 40    15|          aye be told. My next will tell~How he effected this, and
 41    17|          and spear.~'Twere long to tell who so unworthily~Had erst
 42    17|       shall hear.~Of Gryphon now I tell, who at the just~Arrived,
 43    17|          is time that I of Gryphon tell;~Who unsuspecting, she,
 44    18|    murdered by the cavalier;~And, "Tell me," he exclaimed, "thou,
 45    18|         little -- every one, could tell~'Twas he that in the tourney
 46    18|        cries: "Cloridane,~I cannot tell thee what a cause of woe~
 47    19|           and of the others will I tell:~Who, death before their
 48    20|           name,~Since he agreed to tell the style be bore.~She quickly
 49    20|            bearers of the children tell,~To truck the girls for

 51    21|         fort.~Argaeus he of whom I tell was called,~Husband of that
 52    21|            I the certain mean will tell aright.~He will return,
 53    22|         knight espied.~Who I shall tell; but first I must away~From

 75    31|           of whose doughty feats I tell,~Doing by them what wolf

 87    34|        despite,~Constraining me to tell the things ye seek;~Though '
 88    34|         more tedious of the men to tell,~Whose base ingratitude
 89    35|          quickly learned~(I cannot tell you who the tidings bore)~
 90    35|    courteously that lady prayed~To tell her whither she designed
