Canto

  1     2|          The knight replied, "Then nought to me remains~But that I
  2     3|            the gift shall bring~To nought all sorceries and magic
  3     4|            her steed, and smote at nought,~And practised all she had
  4     4|        maintain, in such an act is nought~For which the damsel should
  5     5|          roof.~ ~ XLIX~"Suspecting nought, I seek the balcony,~In
  6     5|          self-destruction moved by nought~But her ill deed, which
  7     6|          his possession!~Since, if nought else, the air, the very
  8     8|           good Melissa deemed that nought was done~Save she restored
  9     8|           slow, now faster, flies,~Nought fearing this: while conjured
 10     8|      hinder his design, of this~He nought imparted to his Flordelis:~ ~
 11     8|        vain~Well nigh a month, and nought of him discerns,~Sallies
 12     9|         camp to see;~Still seeking nought beside: next up and down,~
 13     9|            quell.~Bireno, who knew nought of this, had weighed,~And
 14    10|        Though to her taunts Rogero nought replies,~Who weens small
 15    10| enchantment of the magic shield to nought.~ ~ CVIII~I say the ring,
 16    11|         and ruin had concerned him nought,~The naked rock the bold
 17    11|       damsel naked stood,~Not only nought she to the warrior said,~
 18    12|          he was arrayed,~He deemed nought wanting to his full content,~
 19    12|           is he in fairy spell, it nought~Imports, if hard or soft
 20    13|           way to have me with him, nought~For solace of his restless
 21    13|         board had little maimed or nought,~(Turpin says there were
 22    14|        that the cheerful day,~With nought to intercept it, pierced
 23    14|           such silence moved, that nought was said~Or heard of this
 24    15|        uninstructed thither wends,~Nought of the subtle mischief understands;~
 25    15|          slay,~If the two brethren nought the intent gainsay,~ ~ LXXXI~
 26    16|            and pride,~The bands do nought but quit their ground and
 27    17|  palace-roof to stay;~Where he let nought be wanting which might please;~
 28    17|           to depart, but moved him nought;~To go without Lucina he
 29    18|           the square,~Since flying nought avails, from work and wall.~
 30    18|            their lines.~ ~ CLX~But nought by sovereign or Sobrino
 31    18|         tomb.~ ~ CLXXI~Seeing that nought would bend him, nought would
 32    18|        that nought would bend him, nought would move,~"I too will
 33    18|       mortals Destiny would set at nought~If every wight futurity
 34    18|        being heard should bring to nought~The pious purpose which
 35    19|          in rising rows;~Which for nought else is used, except the
 36    20|            the youthful Alexandria nought~Made answer, saving with
 37    20|           hundred thousand held as nought,~And now, deprived of courage,
 38    20|       pertinacious crone replied,~"Nought shalt thou hear, thy comfort
 39    20|       speaking to the woman booted nought;~Scarcely his heart found
 40    21|        again into those parts.~But nought availed the purpose he designed;~
 41    21|         divided head and neck; for nought~Was there of helm, the warrior
 42    21|          or nill he, in conclusion nought~Is left him but the bitter
 43    22|          was the spell.~ ~ XXVI~At nought Astolpho could more joyous

 50    23|            his fury so, in him was nought~But turned to hatred, phrensy,
 51    24|       prize;~For love, in fine, is nought but phrensied rage,~By universal
 52    24|          To Paris he returned; but nought of this~As yet was known
 53    25|     finishing in pain."~He to whom nought more pleasing could be said,~
 54    25|           joy discern:~For hearing nought, we feared that she was
 55    26|           this while, yet spake he nought.~"With thee," he cried, "
 56    26|        with affront.~Which booting nought, she had retraced her way,~
 57    26|         had his promise plight,~He nought unknown to his compeer would
 58    27|          Their fell pursuer covers nought beside.~Ere he had heard
 59    27|           will I turn." And he, at nought dismaid,~So saying, in his
 60    28|            the universal world was nought,~That he so much desired
 61    28|           LI~" `One damsel that in nought shall us constrain,~-- Then
 62    28|          faith and worship held at nought;~ ~ C~And said that she
 63    29|           address Orlando answered nought,~Save that his foot he to
 64    29|           himself was he to sight,~Nought of Orlando she in him surveyed:~
 65    29|     clenched fist, and force which nought can meet,~-- Smote on his
 66    29|           sore, lies dead.~Orlando nought the slaughtered mare regards,~
 67    30|            question was a thing of nought,~Nor worthy to be tried
 68    30|           in that quarrel they are nought to blame.~Those err, nor
 69    31|     Service may be endured, though nought is earned,~So that the hope
 70    31|         this other, was a thing of nought:~This after some digression
 71    31|           to contend in fight, and nought beside,~Take comfort, for

 83    36|            ample world esteemed at nought,~Of the Child's friendship
 84    37|            without study, yieldeth nought)~With mighty diligence,
 85    37|      receiving honour due:~For, as nought good endures beneath the

 91    41|       Befall what may, by me shall nought be done~Unworthy of a king,

 93    41|  incautious Brandimart, suspecting nought~Orlando would have let him
 94    42|          had failed her, there was nought~Wherein she could confide,
 95    42|          occasion, when it profits nought.~Next that magician Montalbano'
 96    42|    quenches amorous fires;~And how nought cures the mischief caused
 97    42|        sweet joy was whilom set at nought,~Such bright, such blessed
 98    43|          would my honour buy!'~She nought replies; nor save by tears
 99    43|           of a prize which costeth nought.~ ~ CXIII~"Argia somewhat
100    43|             to spy some trace:~But nought in the beginning can he
101    43|            wherewith, this dome is nought?~ ~ CXLII~" `If worthy of
102    43|       melancholy death will profit nought:~When, had I died, defending
103    43|             without thee, there is nought I may~Ever possess, without
104    44|      regard he bears his heir,~Can nought resolve till thither he
105    44|          imperial practice knowing nought,~Promised his beauteous
106    44|         change or chances, good or nought,~Shall wander from its way
107    44|          thither measured, and for nought beside.~He saith; and from
108    45|         thousand deaths, he can do nought,~But more will be deserved,
109    45|         plighted wife be torn;~And nought thereof unto the warrior
110    45|          paynim wight,~I deem that nought avails the marriage-tie.~

112    46|            the cause; but yet from nought appears~Who is the person
113    46|          setting all his family at nought,~Had out of durance vile
114    46|           armed no more~Than if in nought concerned in that affray:~
