Canto

  1     1|       moan;~And then his piteous tale of sorrow said,~Lamenting
  2     1|     natal hour.~ ~ LVI~Haply the tale was true; yet will not seem~
  3     1|          little gladdened by the tale.~He recks not what he says
  4     2|  cavaliers~Change at the demon's tale for rage and shame;~And
  5     2|       And in the devil's cunning tale confiding,~Renewed his wonted
  6     2|       who still pursue a varying tale,~Must leave awhile the Paladin,
  7     2|          not, I,~A tittle to the tale; yet scarcely dare~To tell
  8     2|    disease,~After his melancholy tale was done.~This was Count
  9     2|         oft repeat and piece his tale.~ ~ LX~And, after, when
 10     3|        further press the painful tale.~Chew on fair fancy's food:
 11     4|         his guest,~(And true the tale) a sorcerer, who made~Now
 12     4|      gone, but none returned the tale to tell.~So that I doubt,
 13     4|          true or false Geneura's tale of shame;~If she her lover
 14     5|   plighted,~Ariodantes first his tale recited.~ ~ XXXIII~"Then
 15     5|           for I~Not only on your tale place no reliance;~But as
 16     5|         my very eyes confirm the tale.'~ ~ XLII~" `To warn in
 17     5|        fled,~And, at the fearful tale, remained half dead.~ ~
 18     5|     combat, try~If the accuser's tale be false or true,~And she
 19     5|          forth, but daringly the tale denied.~To him the good
 20     6|       said~One who rehearsed the tale) in incest bred.~ ~ XLIV~"
 21     7|      yield small credence to the tale I tell.~ ~ II~But this be
 22     7| Convinced you will not think the tale a lie,~In whom the light
 23     7|      XLVIII~And told to her, the tale continuing,~The mode which
 24     7|         closer care,~Than to the tale of all thy seed beside.~
 25     7|        thou know'st how true~The tale) thou debtor for thy freedom
 26     7|        loved before;~Nor let the tale astonish which you hear,~
 27     8|         to good Rinaldo bound~My tale, Angelica remembering;~Late
 28     8|               LVIII~Were the old tale of Proteus' false or true,~(
 29    10|        well may say that hers no tale is told~Of truer love, in
 30    10|        bent,~Shall listen to the tale for wonderment;~ ~ V~And
 31    11|        if his lore,~Who told the tale, were true, desires to note;~
 32    13|        conveyed?~Pursuing now my tale, I tell, how drowned~In
 33    13|         The gentle damsel so her tale pursues,~While sobs and
 34    13|          Who shall be told; but, tale to you as dear~Now calls
 35    13|         root ascend,~Too long my tale would hold, nor do I see~
 36    13|          Will choose, because my tale may have an end.~Why was
 37    14|        muster sign was none,~Nor tale, nor tiding of the squadrons
 38    14|        say,~The angel yields the tale belief; and flies~Forth
 39    15|        broken member,~Hearing my tale, what he has seen remember.~ ~
 40    16|     throng.~Listened to each new tale on every side;~Heaven-high
 41    17|       the orc's consort told the tale, and how,~In every point,
 42    17|   Whether the youth believed the tale or no,~He the excuse received,
 43    18|      vainly would be scanned~The tale her messenger was charged
 44    18|      king: her guide~Pursued his tale, relating how the train,~
 45    18|     wrought so high the specious tale,~As manifested plainly, '
 46    18|         deem, nor further of the tale record.~Enough for me, by
 47    18|       the rhyme,~To listen to my tale some other time.~ ~
 48    19|         more when he his piteous tale rehearsed.~ ~ XXI~And calling
 49    21|       and assassin die,~Upon her tale, in ignominious way:~And
 50    21|  Hermonides, and had pursued~His tale, and told how she from prison
 51    22|     canto I attend~Who loves the tale, to hear my story's end.~ ~
 52    23|         flew,~And, prefacing her tale in likely wise,~Said that
 53    23|         knew;~And on the woman's tale and token built~A clear
 54    23|        so troubled, thought:~The tale which he was wonted to repeat~--
 55    24|      dight.~Nor Isabella yet her tale has told,~When bound the
 56    24|       XXIX~After Almonio had his tale suspended,~Astounded for
 57    24|      train.~And, having told his tale, the damsel prayed,~That
 58    24|          your licence, shall the tale suspend.~ ~ ~
 59    25|    greenwood, closed her eyes.~A tale more pleasing than what
 60    25|          constrained to hear the tale of woe,~She studies to divert,
 61    26|         warrior she addrest, her tale might hear:~ ~ LVIII~"I
 62    26|          And if she told another tale whilere,~Of Richardetto
 63    27|           As in the outlet of my tale was said:~Deluded by a phantom,
 64    27|   Rehearsed, and reddened as the tale he taught,~Relating to the
 65    27|         their confusion yon that tale shall hear."~ ~ CXL~"What
 66    28|          To this, the landlord's tale, replete with lies,~In shame
 67    28|      Omit this canto, and -- the tale untold --~My story will
 68    28|      landlord's history,~As of a tale or fiction, make his creed.~
 69    28|        The cavalier, he 'gan his tale recite:~ ~ IV~"Astolpho
 70    28|       wearied with the mirth her tale had bred,~Fell backwards,
 71    28|          that paynim cried,~"The tale of women's frauds would
 72    29|        bottom, who~Rehearsed the tale so often, Turpin heard,~
 73    31|           I for conclusion of my tale will say,~He was well greeted
 74    31|       not Roland's foe~I tell my tale," (pursued the dame again,)~"
 75    31|     think you will have read the tale elsewhere)~To back that
 76    31|       bore.~Too tedious were the tale at length to tell.~Hence
 77    31|         Heaven to witness to his tale.~ ~ CII~Next calls upon
 78    31|         Though doubtful how that tale he should receive,~Takes
 79    32|         his news,~Well might his tale the missing knight excuse.~ ~
 80    32|         the weary cavaliers; his tale~Not overlikely was those
 81    32|         have seen"; while so his tale~To Bradamant recounts that
 82    33|          he said,~And pieced his tale, as having left untold~Things
 83    34|       deign to tell thy mournful tale!~ ~ X~"And to be known on
 84    34|         valour high~Would make a tale too tedious to be told;~
 85    35|        contraries throughout the tale explain:~That from the Trojan
 86    35|   Bradamant who knew the piteous tale,~How murdered by him Isabella
 87    36|     rock-stone hoar~Whene'er the tale is told warm tears might
 88    36|      Marphisa mine, believe!~The tale which I deliver is not vain.~
 89    36|          stormy main?~For of the tale, if ever heard before,~Little
 90    36|      Heard young Rogero thus his tale pursue,~And joyed to be
 91    36|       answer made,)~But, for the tale was not so fully known,~
 92    37|        rather from the first her tale explain.~"That castle's
 93    37|        journey toward Arles, the tale pursue.~ ~  CXXII~Throughout
 94    39|          for short time I lay my tale aside.~In the meanwhile,
 95    40|       And told and magnified the tale of fear:~For upon many quarters
 96    41|     hight,~Was his erewhile; the tale's upon record,~And ye have
 97    42|     Bradamant renewed the wonted tale;~She cursed her hard and
 98    43|       woman heard."~ ~ XLVII~His tale the mournful cavalier so
 99    43|        For haply not with us the tale may rest)~That in the very
100    44|        not, except some cozening tale to tell;~Yet if together
101    44|      victory~The scarcely joyful tale Astolpho knew,~He, seeing
