Canto

  1     1|         age's grace and splendour art,~Hippolitus, to smile upon
  2     1|           rather grieve that thou~Art found a perjured traitor
  3     2|  fruitless every hope to foil his art)~The felon keeps my love,
  4     5|           his guerdon strove with art,~Him she would censure still,
  5     6|    presence teach,~Thou courteous art and good, his reign unbound,~
  6     6|      Pardon! and, whatsoe'er thou art, be good,~Spirit of man,
  7     6|           that, to me reply,~What art thou, who, in rugged case
  8     6|           wore:~Then wrought with art, and compassed her intent,~
  9     6|       full of every vice and evil art;~So she, who ever lives
 10     6|           that to this fatal isle art led~By way unwonted and
 11     6|           as faces differ, and in art~And wit of man an equal
 12     7|       could now believe, by magic art,~Astolpho well transformed
 13     7|         though at first his cruel art offend,~Is thanked, since
 14     7|       that eve, a palfrey, by her art,~With one foot red, black
 15     7|         the high deeds which thou art called to do,~Wherefore
 16     7|       thou debtor for thy freedom art,~This ring, which can each
 17     7|          not her own.~ ~ LXXIV~By art she gave herself the lovely
 18     8|           open view,~Unchanged by art or by hypocrisy.~This now
 19     8|           rain,~Which haply human art had not allayed.~Wise whosoever
 20     8|           life, beshrew me, where~Art thou bestowed, so beautiful
 21     8|        yet rove thy lonely round?~Art thou, indeed, to ravening
 22     9|          be brought;~Such cunning art Cymosco would assay:~But
 23    10|        her voice, she said,~"Thou art not gentle, nor art thou
 24    10|          Thou art not gentle, nor art thou a knight;~And hast
 25    11|           on every hand~The cruel art among all people past:~And
 26    11|           arms became a worthless art:~And at such ebb are worth
 27    11|          Lemnos' god, nor Pallas' art divine,~Form raiment worthy
 28    12|          steel, and vain~Alcina's art, Atlantes plots again.~ ~
 29    12|         guarded with all care and art.~The rest than diamond dug
 30    13|           thou (pursued the dame) art near~The place where he
 31    13|           make himself by his ill art appear~As suffering from
 32    14|         way."~ ~ XLII~"Thou needs art raving mad," replied in
 33    14|         the paynim foe,~That thou art without power to save, will
 34    14|       such a quest, with happiest art~Will know what is most fitting
 35    16|        speak of them as 'twere my art.~Hence if I say, or if I
 36    16|          me ill-taught in warlike art,~A feeble rabble without
 37    16|          rare grace and matchless art he wars,~The son of Aymon,
 38    17|      LXXIX~Thou mighty Lion, that art charged to keep~The keys
 39    17|          rode he well or ill, his art would show,~And with the
 40    17|        the scandal of the warlike art.~'Twere better he from tower,
 41    18|       fares our lady? wither sent art thou?"~ ~ XXXIII~"Nor mine
 42    18|       this day thou its possessor art,~Since not alone thy worth
 43    18|         to manifest their vaunted art.~One blowing through the
 44    18|           Well versed; but now in art found small-support,~Or
 45    19|        calling back to memory her art,~For she in Ind had learned

 49    20|        swear~That thou as valiant art as she is fair."~ ~ CXXIV~
 50    21|          contendest for her, thou art slain;~For such their portion
 51    21|           In close captivity~Thou art; nor ever hope to break

 53    22|      intend~To bring to scorn his art and evil ways,~Suspicious

 56    23|         from sight,~For what thou art thou plainly wouldst appear,~
 57    23|           a valiant cavalier thou art:~For such a brave desire
 58    24|          greater daring, and from art;~For in the temper of his
 59    26|          grace it more, use every art:~Yet they can now but little
 60    26|      added, without using farther art,~All that her lady had to
 61    26|       other magic and with mickle art.~ ~ CXXVIII~Sage Malagigi

 63    27|        and service can~Engraft by art on one another's tree?~But
 64    28|            Flammetta, thou, alas! art lost to me,~Nor know I if
 65    28|       promised sweets; since thou art others' prey.~'Twas my design,
