Canto

  1     1|     goodly truth in cavaliers of old!~Rivals they were, to different
  2     1|        who marred what praise of old~Your prowess ever won with
  3     2|    Circassy~Salute the visage of old mother earth,~Traversed
  4     2|         For 'twixt Maganza's and old Clermont's line~There was
  5     2|      round, descried an elm-tree old,~Which furnished present
  6     3|         Rogero from the haunt~Of old Atlantes, learns how from
  7     4|          CANTO 4~ ~ ARGUMENT~The old Atlantes suffers fatal wreck,~
  8     4|       maid, and warrior weak and old!~ ~ XXVII~Intending to behead
  9     4|       God!" (afflicted sore,~The old enchanter full of wrath
 10     4|         Of either table, whether old or new)~Whose trophies yet
 11     4|           That, e'er in times of old or present day,~Was undertaken
 12     5|         a dismantled street, and old,~Was built that portion
 13     5|        brought more delight.~Nor old Vesuvius, nor Sicilia's
 14     5|          and Geneura's love, and old accord;~And, in legitimate
 15     7|              XLIII~She, not like old Atlantes, rendered blind~
 16     7|     returned the magic dame;~Nor old Atlantes' form was needed
 17     7|         examined round,~A hag so old and hideous is not found.~ ~
 18     7|    wanton dome possessed~By that old strumpet, rode the cavalier;~
 19     8|         way it were~The buckler, old Atlantes' work, to bare.~ ~
 20     8|        the courser of the wizard old,~And on the croup, at ease,
 21     8|       save that he was now waxed old, would lead~The expedition
 22     8|        vengeance stirred.~ ~ LII~Old stories, speak they falsely
 23     8|        again.~ ~  LVIII~Were the old tale of Proteus' false or
 24     8|      have let them place thee in old Namus' hand!~Witless a wrong
 25     8|          to stain or slight,~The old and honoured ensign he foregoes,~
 26     8|        pursue;~ ~ XCI~Who having old Almontes' blazonry~So changed,
 27     9|          he comes to where~He of old Proteus' hears the cruel
 28    10|        love, in present times or old.~ ~ II~And this she by so
 29    10|       beneath had flung;~And the old woe, beside the tumbling
 30    10|        Henry, Earl of Salisbury;~Old Hermant Aberga'nny hold
 31    11|  turret-cell,~Where her that bad old man had mewed; but why~Recount
 32    11|       strand,~And with the whole old warfare vex the land;~ ~
 33    11|         divine~Zeuxis in days of old his work projected,~To be
 34    12|  lady-love away,~And comes where old Atlantes, by his sleight~
 35    12|       through the Castiles, both old and new,~So passing into
 36    12|         not die,~Brought here by old Atlantes' magic came:~While
 37    12|          both, descries~Atlantes old. The damsel doubts withal~
 38    12|        upon her hand anew,~Which old Atlantes' every scheme o'
 39    12|     XXXIII~Nor might nor mean in old Atlantes lies~To stop the
 40    12| squadrons he encountered; one an old~Saracen, Manilardo clept,
 41    13|        where so large a band~The old Atlantes' magic walls enclose.~
 42    13|       without the cave,~Where an old service-tree its shadow
 43    13|      divined.~For I should leave old Typhis out of view,~If on
 44    13|          the mansion of Atlantes old,~Nor would approach the
 45    14|        Rimini.~O Lewis, bid good old Trivulzio go~With thine,
 46    14|         so was Roland drest;~The old device renounced he had
 47    14|        bears, and Hector bore of old.~ ~ XLIV~Great is the Tartar
 48    14|           Who, at the root of an old ash tree laid,~Bemoaned
 49    14|      valiant head.~ ~ CVIII~With old Sobrino, on the left of
 50    15|         hidden was God's will~Of old, and ere 'twas known long
 51    15|        Vulcan wrought~The net of old, and with such cunning pain,~
 52    15|          damsel from that dragon old;~Spoils, which Sir Sansonet,
 53    16| Gibraltar's straits of yore,~And old Alcides' pillars, sailed
 54    16|          a willing steed~(As the old proverb says) who lacks
 55    18|      closely-fastened cage~Of an old lioness, well used to fight,~
 56    18|          their bosoms, young and old.~ ~  CXL~'Twas here they
 57    18|         are enemies.~ ~ CXCII~Of old an ancient forest clothed
 58    19|     which she ever graced ye, -- old or new, --~As some poor
 59    20|       Amid the hundred cities of old Crete,~Was the Dictaean
 60    20|           that yet lived, though old.~ ~ XXXVIII~"Yet Orontea
 61    20|        at the ford -- where that old beldam meets~Marphisa, and
 62    20|       and -- bent to post~On her old track -- with her the hag
 63    20|     despite~Than to proclaim her old and foul to sight.~ ~ CXXI~
 64    20|         Who, in the hints of the old woman, read~That she had
 65    21|      mantled over in the days of old;~So by the ancient limner
 66    21|      Quitting his road with that old crone to steer;~Although
 67    21|          Or arm thee not on that old woman's side,~Who by my
 68    21|    wicked love may boot,~She her old vices, in her inmost breast,~
 69    21|         the matter knew~From the old man who lingered little
 70    21|       the promised way,~With the old woman in his escort, went,~
 71    22|    learning afterwards that Otho old~Has lain for many months
 72    22|          heavy marble weighs.~As old Atlantes sees the knight
 73    22|        used to obey;~Beneath the old enchanter's care to dwell,~
 74    22|         foot, and had that woman old~In the dismounted damsel'
 75    23|     charged the dame that wizard old;~And made her eye and eyelid
 76    23|        horse; then chose a maid,~Old Callitrephia's daughter,
 77    23|      reverence due,~According to old use and honours paid,~In
 78    23|           and broke,~Like these, old sturdy trees and stems of
 79    24|    conclusion, say;~He who grows old in love, besides all pain~
 80    24|          was wrought,~Beneath an old chirurgeon's skilful care.~
 81    24|         stript the rein;~And the old harridan, who had before~
 82    24|  conveyed.~Sore weeping came the old woman, and demand~For succour,
 83    24|       Astolpho chased the wizard old,~With the loud bugle, horrible
 84    26|        amendment of their errors old,~Thitherward nobles troop,
 85    27|          bound.~ ~ IX~A cunning, old enchanter him deceived,~
 86    27|         in that steed,~Him he of old had held so passing dear,~
 87    27|       This fires anew Marphisa's old disdain,~Nor she from instant
 88    27|      cunning lore.~He, both from old and modern history,~And
 89    29|        imitates that pile beside~Old Tyber's stream, by Adrian
 90    31|      Here by the cognizance, his old display,~Afar, by her distinguished
 91    33|          But never, amid masters old or new,~Have ye of pictures
 92    33|        not artist whether new or old,~Boast of his skill such
 93    33|    illustrious Crete rejoiced of old~In giving birth to Coelus'
 94    34|     known,~And him that vexed of old the Latian reign,~And him
 95    34|          abide.~The Armenian, an old rival of my sire,~And mortal
 96    34|          the heavens, wherein of old was borne~From Jewry's misty
 97    34|        as he thought.~These were old crowns of the Assyrian land~
 98    34|         next surveyed;~Whence an old man some skins was seen
 99    35|      shall last.~ ~ XVII~Of that old sire, and why he would dispense~
100    37|         every place espied,~Some old, some young; nor, mid so
101    37|          side;~No less than that old crone on vengeance bent:~
102    38|    chosen by that twain~Was near old Arles, upon a spacious plain.~ ~
103    38|         hardly from the bower~Of old Tithonus hath put forth
104    39|         bold.~ ~ XLI~She knowing old Bardino in that wight,~Bardino
105    40|     Agramant flies, and with him old Sobrine,~Agramant grieving
106    40|         should be more expert if old in show;~And evermore in
107    40|         he found himself in gray old age,~Such as in green and
108    41|  straight from earth that fierce old man upsprung;~ ~ LXXXIX~
109    42|    wizard cavalier~All memory of old injury assaid,~And bowned
110    42|          amorous smart.~ ~ LXVII~Old hate revived upon Rinaldo'
111    43|          cavalier,~Numbered that old and honoured race among,~
112    43|         a corner took the beldam old,~And bade the dog in courtesy
113    43|       the seer is right)~To that old nurse; and, drawing her
114    43|         answer said that negress old:~'And yet this dome, like
115    43|         a grave~His pious son to old Anchises gave.~ ~ CL~There
116    44|       ears of Beatrice and Aymon old;~ ~ LXXII~Who against Bradamant
117    44|       him in vain affied,~Of his old sire complains, and him
118    46|          Greek.~ ~ LIX~As looked old Aegeus at the accursed board,~
119    46|          Tyber, bore the tent of old.~Melissa from his namesake
