Canto

  1     5|        willed her brother dear,~Zerbino, is not here the foe to
  2    10|         by their monarch's son, Zerbino, view.~ ~ LXXXIV~"The lion '
  3    13|      the damsel bland~Who loves Zerbino, hears the piteous woes.~
  4    13|         Praise in my eyes alone Zerbino won,~Who was the mighty
  5    13|    festal show,~And to his home Zerbino was returned,~If thou know'
  6    13|   native land, ~Hoping in brief Zerbino to possess,~I cannot tell
  7    13|      roar~To perish, nor behold Zerbino more.~ ~ XIX~"Though I had
  8    13|       and vest,~So I might hope Zerbino's lot to share,~I was content
  9    13|         to ill:~For he, in whom Zerbino put his trust,~Cooled in
 10    13|       he, Almonio hight,~Who to Zerbino seemed great faith to bear;~
 11    13|          All hope is lost of my Zerbino's aid:~For from their speech
 12    16|        host, their flags below.~Zerbino, marching by the stream,
 13    16|          pricked before~Valiant Zerbino and his whole array,~Until
 14    16|       When thither the vanguard Zerbino led.~Forth pricking from
 15    16|      their steeds among.~ ~ LIX~Zerbino was more wonders seen to
 16    16|      the hope to gain,~By young Zerbino's death, a glorious force,~
 17    16|        courser strong,~But bold Zerbino quickly rose anew;~And,
 18    16|         sees them, will pursue.~Zerbino at Mosco first, that overhung~
 19    16|        matchless was his force,~Zerbino cleft the rider and his
 20    16|      But him with downright cut Zerbino plied~Behind, and cried
 21    16|       Where the huge crowd upon Zerbino falls,~Ariodantes and Lurcanio
 22    16|        count,~Who do their best Zerbino to remount.~ ~ LXV~Then
 23    16|     Ariodantes, and their head,~Zerbino, there alone the torrent
 24    16|      Saracens, the cry~Of young Zerbino's peril smote the ear;~For,
 25    16|          And thus Rinaldo round Zerbino clears~The field so widely,
 26    18|    ample camp give way.~No less Zerbino and Lurcanio good~Do deeds,
 27    18|         These Leonetto's, those Zerbino's brand~O'erturns, all rivals
 28    18|      earth the shade.~When good Zerbino, he, whose valiant sprite~
 29    19|         who the youth surround,~Zerbino leads, and bids his followers
 30    19|      short in middle note.~ ~ X~Zerbino, captain of those horse,
 31    19|       mountain, and so won~Upon Zerbino's mood, to kindness turned,~
 32    19| suppliant in his dainty breast.~Zerbino, who the cruel action scanned,~
 33    19|         dead.~ ~ XIV~So grieved Zerbino, with such wrath was stung,~"
 34    20|          in ire~Puts upon young Zerbino scathe and scorn,~And makes
 35    20|       to hear,~I tell you 'twas Zerbino, a king's son,~Of beauty
 36    20|         CXVIII~Vainly the young Zerbino, through the glade,~Had
 37    20|  morning-light,~That he escaped Zerbino's grasp, and lay~Concealed
 38    20|    wrath was past away.~ ~ CXIX~Zerbino laughed parforce, when he
 39    20|           CXXVI~"And be it so," Zerbino cried, and wheeled~Swiftly
 40    20|       and vanished in the wood.~Zerbino, deeming her a cavalier,~
 41    20|         crimson dye,~Such shame Zerbino felt as his mischance,~Little
 42    20|       more."~ ~ CXXXIV~So spake Zerbino, and like grief displaid,~
 43    20|         said,~Though she before Zerbino had not seen,~Perceived '
 44    20|  Isabella, who had wounded sore~Zerbino's heart, was long detained
 45    20|           CXXXVI~And she to her Zerbino's goodly cheer~And gentle
 46    20|  hearing what in rage and grief~Zerbino vents, perceives the youth
 47    20|      likes him best;~As readily Zerbino to the crone~Humbled himself,
 48    20|      hoar,~Who, ever restive to Zerbino's prayer,~To what she had
 49    20|      speak.~ ~ CXLIII~At length Zerbino to his tongue gave rest,~
 50    21|            CANTO 21~ ~ ARGUMENT~Zerbino for Gabrina, who a heart~
 51    21|       force.~Towards loud cries Zerbino spurs his horse.~ ~ ~ I~
 52    21|       Both fared: so sullen was Zerbino's woe.~I said how vexed
 53    21|          Did humbly now to good Zerbino sue,~-- Her pride abased,
 54    21|    maintain."~ ~ VIII~Him young Zerbino answered courteously,~Twas
 55    21|      lay amazed,~By pity prest, Zerbino leapt to ground,~And from
 56    21| profound,~In silence, hard upon Zerbino gazed;~Then cried, "It does
 57    21|         in other way.~ ~ LXVIII~Zerbino, in excuse, assured the
 58    21|     truth admits reply.~ ~  LXX~Zerbino thence, upon the promised
 59    21|         LXXI~Well read in young Zerbino's hate, the dame~Would not
 60    23|        by another path, astray,~Zerbino came, with that deceitful
 61    23|         a double vest.~ ~ XLIII~Zerbino after some short space came
 62    23|        touched them all.~ ~ XLV~Zerbino asked the occasion, and '
 63    23|  between two mountains wrought.~Zerbino feigned surprise, and hung
 64    23|       in likely wise,~Said that Zerbino did the deed; and drew~The
 65    23|      built~A clear assurance of Zerbino's guilt.~ ~ L~And, weeping,
 66    23|       To block the hostel where Zerbino lay,~For all the town is
 67    23|       pair~Of heavy letters, is Zerbino chained.~For before yet
 68    23|     punish ("Death!" their cry)~Zerbino for the crime he has not
 69    23|      him their stay,~For prince Zerbino such defence provides,~There
 70    23|       Than her own vital being, Zerbino wore.~ ~ LV~She had beneath
 71    23|    towards the plain.~He marked Zerbino, and at the first sight~
 72    23|       they led~Thus captive, to Zerbino drawing near:~At this the
 73    23|       chief had rent~From young Zerbino but the night before,~And
 74    23|        trembling in his breast,~Zerbino sat; how he at Roland's
 75    23|        bore.~ ~ LXIV~When young Zerbino at his side surveyed~The
 76    23|      see~The could no other but Zerbino be.~ ~ LXIX~When speech
 77    23|       taught to weet.~More than Zerbino him he eyed, and, near,~
 78    23|   Gabrina flee,~After she young Zerbino had betrayed:~Who like a
 79    23|    XCVII~At his departure waxed Zerbino woe,~And Isabella wept for
 80    24|        s guilt repaid,~Youthful Zerbino sets at large the train;~
 81    24|      had departed on his quest,~Zerbino paused some deal; then,
 82    24|  watched on either side.~ ~ XVI~Zerbino speedily the prisoner knew,~
 83    24|     friends esteemed most true,~Zerbino Isabella had conveyed;~Hoping,
 84    24|         pace,~They make towards Zerbino eagerly,~And, kneeling,
 85    24|    clipt by one of less degree.~Zerbino, looking either in the face,~
 86    24|        know."~In silence prince Zerbino hears him tell~His story,
 87    24|     venge such infamy,~Youthful Zerbino doubted: the review~Of faithless
 88    24|      who had before~Nigh caused Zerbino's death, among them bore.~ ~
 89    24|       her trouble, vainly made.~Zerbino, when he saw her, raised
 90    24|          XLIII~To keep the pact Zerbino makes him swear~A mighty
 91    24|        as ill content:~For much Zerbino's mercies both offend,~Which
 92    24|   traitor did the same.~ ~ XLVI~Zerbino, who the Paladin pursues,~
 93    24|     XLVII~So mighty is the love Zerbino bore,~Nor less than his
 94    24|       But thither in his search Zerbino fares.~Last to those trees,
 95    24|      rags, the champaign strew.~Zerbino and Isabel, in grief profound,~
 96    24|          LII~Questioned by good Zerbino, him the swain~Of all which
 97    24|       chanced, informed aright.~Zerbino marvelled, and believed
 98    24|       mood.~ ~ LVII~Here prince Zerbino all the arms unites,~And
 99    24|        prowess prove!'~ ~ LVIII~Zerbino having done the pious deed,~
100    24|     Take it not thence," to him Zerbino cried,~"Nor think to make
101    24|     descends, or hangs on high,~Zerbino stands, attentive how to
102    24|         blow descends,~It would Zerbino like a cane divide;~But
103    24|       Here little vantage young Zerbino drew~From strength and greater
104    24|        Bent by the weighty blow Zerbino sped;~And, had the helmet
105    24|       his crest,~Hoping to part Zerbino to the chest.~ ~ LXIX~Zerbino,
106    24|   Zerbino to the chest.~ ~ LXIX~Zerbino, on the watch, whose eager
107    24|         thigh descended.~ ~ LXX~Zerbino, here and there, seeks every
108    24|    disposed her friend,~As well Zerbino, by the other's care,~Was
109    24|      befel~The Scottish prince, Zerbino, let me tell.~ ~ LXXV~For
110    24|         my sail upon the main?"~Zerbino, who on her his languid
111    24|       thou pleased, my heart," (Zerbino cried,)~"To love me yet,
112    24|         mouth conjoining~To her Zerbino's, languid as a rose;~Rose
113    24|      Twas here his feeble voice Zerbino manned,~Crying. "My deity,
114    24|     mood?~When stiff, her loved Zerbino, with pale face,~And cold
115    24|     That, in her transport, she Zerbino's glaive~Would easily have
116    24|      They on his mournful horse Zerbino placed,~And traversed many
117    26|           Marphisa was; that on Zerbino laid~The task to bear about,
118    28|   Charged with the corse of her Zerbino dear:~I left her, where
119    29|       heard a voice which spake Zerbino's name,~To follow whom,
120    29|        soul made repair,~And in Zerbino's arms was locked again.~
