Canto

  1     1|       the warriors vie~In cruel strife, and blade to blade oppose;~
  2     1|         throw~Each other in the strife, and vainly still;~Since
  3     2|        hate or other springs of strife inspire,~And grind their
  4     3|        him be spoiled in sudden strife,~Of his possessions and
  5     3|   steeds advance~In that fierce strife, and struggle through the
  6     4|     snares, and full of envious strife.~ ~ II~If after painful
  7     6|     first withdrew~Him from one strife, engage him in a new.~ ~ ~
  8     9|     four;~And let, without more strife, the vessel gain~A port,
  9     9|    before,~Made me, with little strife, his easy prey:~Persuaded
 10    10|         magic shield,~Or in the strife be slain, or basely yield":~ ~
 11    10|      aid was brought him in the strife,~As saved the warrior's
 12    11|       Rogero paused, and to the strife attended:~And straight his
 13    11|         But to behold the cruel strife stood nigh.~Lo! a two-handed
 14    12|     went,~And from the scene of strife was far away~Ere either
 15    12|          which worthiest of the strife might be,~If this be stolen,
 16    14|         any, from the murderous strife~Of that scared rabble, should
 17    14|      the mightiest, spread such strife, that they~Together may
 18    14|      Her hair appeared to be at strife; in hue~Like silver and
 19    15|       thousand wounds he had in strife~Received, yet none could
 20    15|         in mail~Found at fierce strife: the two ill held their
 21    15|     Mistaking. Now this fearful strife the pair~Of warriors waged
 22    15|         plain~Drops, -- and the strife begins -- Orrilo plies~The
 23    15|        Moor usurp; what time on strife intent,~All Europe rings
 24    16|         Sir Baricond is, in the strife,~By Clarence's bold duke
 25    17|         wait, retiring from the strife, appears.~ ~ LXXXVII~Seleucia'
 26    18|  brought,~By which new cause of strife should be supplied;~And,
 27    18|      occasion which the furious strife had wrought,~Himself no
 28    19|      softens her, and bids from strife retire,~And for her offspring
 29    19|        band~Desires, and are at strife with those who fear.~And
 30    20|        he had proved in amorous strife.~ ~ LVIII~"And him she left
 31    20|        with ten foes contend to strife.~ ~ LIX~"And if he should
 32    20|       shalt thou find me in the strife~To follow thee or perish
 33    20|       four, her comrades in the strife:~ ~ CIII~Saying she deems
 34    22|         Pinnabel maintained the strife,~Whom, after, Bradamant
 35    23|        no better succour in the strife~Than piteous cry and fruitless
 36    23|        shock he suffered in the strife,~As broke his neck, and
 37    23|         after she perceived the strife was o'er,~Nearer the field
 38    24|       so many more,~Not without strife by knight shall he be stayed,~
 39    24|         siege was raised, their strife delay.~ ~ CXIII~Intending,
 40    25| strongly sways:~For the amorous strife between them is delayed,~
 41    25|        quickly succoured in the strife,~As quickly forfeit liberty
 42    26|         three warriors, for the strife arrayed:~SHE -- style no
 43    26|         told why he refused the strife; and prayed,~As well Rogero
 44    26|      And terminate their deadly strife by blows.~To him Rogero
 45    26|         the other hand,~Another strife; who sees that ensign gay~
 46    26|      These shall be deeds, that strife was but a show;~And ill
 47    26|         better were,~A cause of strife more fitting and more due~
 48    26|       she makes one knight from strife retire,~She sees the others
 49    26|       could ensue~But stir, and strife, and combat on that head;~
 50    26|         Ulien, on his part, the strife suspended;~And thither,
 51    27|         hatred; jars arise,~And strife; and means to still their
 52    27|   received~To stir the Moors to strife, nor had obeyed;~Had rather
 53    27|       cause of their so burning strife display;~Next earnestly
 54    27|     Moor~And Sacripant, another strife was heard.~Valiant King
 55    27|     have witnessed the event~Of strife between me and my Tartar
 56    27|     mien inquired~What cause of strife such deadly discord blew;~
 57    27|        have till such a time of strife delayed~My vengeance, when
 58    27|      advice, to calm such ruder strife~And quarrel, as throughout
 59    27|    enmity~The king began -- the strife which had ensued,~Because
 60    27|         to forego,~The cause of strife, in favour of his foe,~ ~
 61    28|    though undergrown,~He in the strife his opposite had thrown.~ ~
 62    29|      they had hoped the meed of strife,~Had lost their arms, and
 63    29|        stopt, the issue of that strife to know,~Wherein those two
 64    30|   instruct and aid,~That in the strife his champion may succeed;~
 65    30|       six months would they the strife delay,~Or more or less,
 66    30|         clear,~Upon a ground of strife so passing light,~With the
 67    30|       more than love for me, to strife impels~The natural rage,
 68    30|        the proud warrior to the strife defies,~No more of treaty
 69    30|       thither made,~So that the strife was little time delaid.~ ~
 70    30|    together with these seeds of strife,~-- Dearer than sword and
 71    30|         the fruits of that fell strife,~Already has ensured Rogero'
 72    31| Malagigi, Viviane:~But to their strife Rinaldo puts an end;~He
 73    31|         Was never seen a feller strife in show.~Neither believes
 74    31|        in doubt.~-- He that the strife was ended would be fain,~
 75    31|      the cavalier,~How hate and strife were blown into a flame~
 76    31|      friends in that disastrous strife~Will surely forfeit liberty
 77    31|         fears if he that deadly strife arrest,~Rinaldo's utter
 78    32|         wretchedness.~To die at strife with thee alone I grieve:~
 79    32|     when gray and yellow are at strife;~When it is gathered from
 80    32|     damsel brought,~Will follow strife and boundless enmities,~
 81    32|     should contend:~For if such strife 'twixt her and me ensues,~
 82    33|     spleen,~Diverted by another strife, were spent,~Hearing a mighty
 83    33|        him who will, in war and strife, I more~Desire in peace
 84    34|   repose~So banished, that with strife and poverty,~With fear and
 85    34|       of all that booty made in strife.~ ~ XIX~"Rejected of the
 86    34|      exercise my lover still in strife,~With the same fell design
 87    34|        more in fell and impious strife~The count has sought his
 88    35|       she, ever with herself at strife,~Deeming Rogero lost, detested
 89    36|      peer,~They end their every strife with joyous cheer.~ ~ ~
 90    36|         go~Towards the field of strife, which did divide~The squadrons,
 91    36|     thought~He but to end their strife and quarrel sought.~ ~ XLIV~
 92    36|       Rogero, who beholds their strife with pain.~So blinded are
 93    36|  Bradamant, when, through their strife displaced,~Every suspicion
 94    37|        Greek knight, in warlike strife well-taught,~Shivered, like
 95    37|        defend the felon in that strife;~Whom those illustrious
 96    38|     either side,~Two knights by strife their quarrel should decide.~ ~ ~
 97    38|        fight,~Albeit he slew in strife the Tartar knight.~ ~ LXVIII~
 98    39|         scaping one.~Him, if in strife o'erlaid, Rinaldo slays,~
 99    39|         champion in so fierce a strife to make;~Where Afric's realm
100    40|     first the fleets in furious strife were blended;~But when lit
101    40|    certified,~How in that cruel strife his town had sped,~He thought
102    41|  Sobrino is left wounded in the strife;~Gradasso and Agramant deprived
103    41|        Sobrino, in the doubtful strife unpaired:~At him he sprang;
104    42|        For in Orlando, when the strife was o'er,~Was nothing evil;
105    43|     Heaven's command as much at strife,~As Adam's deed who robbed
106    43|        Twas long ere we had any strife; in fine~We quarrelled;
107    43|       that which triumphs after strife; and now~Through his long
108    43|  whereso women are, is stir and strife.~ ~ CXXI~"And even that
109    43|         died, defending thee in strife,~I could not better have
110    44|        clear of the tempestuous strife,~In friendly port these
111    45|       works, and kindles mighty strife.~ ~ ~ I~By how much higher
112    45|       whoever lists she will in strife~Prove Bradamant to be Rogero'
113    45|       be;~And they may, without strife, without despite~Done to
114    45|     obtain,~And without further strife are these affied.~"This
115    45|        So a loud rumour of this strife, that flees~Through France,
116    46|        claim the guerdon of the strife.~ ~ LV~"Besides that by
117    46|        than she in that unhappy strife~Would see her cherished
118    46|    marked his vantage, nor from strife forbore;~And, where he saw
119    46|        stripling sorely in that strife contends.~Collected in himself,
