Canto

  1     1|          so seeks the Saracen to cheer,~Behold a messenger with
  2     3|     Aldobrandino, who will carry cheer~To Rome (when Otho, with
  3     4|      that lady, flew~With joyful cheer to greet the damsel true;~ ~
  4     4|          not before with savoury cheer~He amply had his wearied
  5     5|       and female, live in loving cheer;~Nor gentle heifer dreads
  6     5|         much Geneura's shape and cheer,~One visage well another
  7     5|         seemed so worthy, by his cheer,~That he made sign the battle
  8     5|         mercy prayed with humble cheer,~Unfit to strive in joust
  9     6|    melancholy sound;~"If, as thy cheer and gentle presence teach,~
 10     6|       shuns the revellers' noisy cheer,~Tells his love sorrows
 11     7|      ring, the board and festive cheer~Removed, and sitting, play
 12     7|        his speech, and face, and cheer,~She knew so well, that,
 13     7|         the enchanter's borrowed cheer;~With that grave face, and
 14     8|    manners, grace, and beauteous cheer,~Wisdom and wit: if now
 15     9|         Persuaded by his outward cheer yet more,~I thought, and
 16     9|        fierce and horrid was his cheer.~At this dismay'd, the King
 17    10|     through the deep, with meery cheer.~ ~ XVI~Already Holland
 18    10|     better contemplate her lofty cheer,~And you no other treasure
 19    11|      more conceal your beauteous cheer.~Cruel, though answering
 20    11|       one a giant was of haughty cheer,~And one a bold and gallant
 21    11|           unchanged in heart and cheer.~ ~ XXXVI~He, as one well
 22    11|        true.~After with friendly cheer and equal glee~Had once
 23    12|      borne off in such afflicted cheer,~Impelled by fury foul,
 24    12|       would depress with altered cheer,~Or into France send back
 25    12|    disdainful glance and furious cheer;~And him esteems a knight
 26    13|         of the troop, of brutish cheer~Was he, the foremost of
 27    13|     Resembling thy Rogero in his cheer~And every look, Atlantes
 28    14|      blood, and marked his felon cheer;~And piercing shrieks the
 29    14|    knight,~Which sweetly tend to cheer the afflicted heart~Of the
 30    14|          pleasured by his kindly cheer.~For not alone dwells Hospitality~
 31    14|     together gazed, with pitying cheer,~On their eternal, loving
 32    15|       worth, and make him goodly cheer.~ ~  LXIII~Then Cairo was
 33    15|        and more full of pleasant cheer,~Where still along the sea
 34    16|     devised, she feigns a joyous cheer,~Towards Sir Gryphon goes,
 35    16|          to the plenar court)~To cheer me, -- left with fever sore
 36    16|     wealthy king, with sumptuous cheer,~Within that place would
 37    16|        Rinaldo not, unchanged in cheer;~Nor thinking such a cruel
 38    17|         such front and shameless cheer,~-- And cries, "It seems
 39    18|     beheld the monarch's altered cheer,~Who bent to clasp his neck,
 40    18|     thief -- both written in thy cheer --~Whence are these arms?
 41    18|           Him honoured with fair cheer, and home would bring,~And
 42    18|   Gryphon's sake, with courteous cheer;~And, as his gift, in fine
 43    18|        Nor suffer sun or star to cheer the view.~Above the welkin
 44    19|     heart seen as is the outward cheer,~He who at court is held
 45    19| Excelling all the rest in goodly cheer.~ ~ LXXIX~On a large courser
 46    19|          that beneath such manly cheer~A gentle virgin was concealed,
 47    20|     sheltered them and courteous cheer,~The night ensuing took
 48    20|           with security and open cheer,~Stops at the ford the damsel
 49    20|          to her Zerbino's goodly cheer~And gentle features had
 50    20|        if you had made me kinder cheer,~Haply from me the secret
 51    23|      afar she hailed with joyful cheer,~And now more nigh, to embrace
 52    23|          say,~Salutes and kindly cheer, ensue of course;~And next
 53    23|       conspicuous in thy haughty cheer."~ ~ LXXV~"No one can say,"
 54    23|           I~Agree with that bold cheer thou so commend."~-- "And
 55    24|         better they observed his cheer,~They had judged rightly
 56    25|       the youth resembles her in cheer:~More sure the more intently
 57    25|       features and the beauteous cheer."~Rogero said; "and yet
 58    25|        her heart: with courteous cheer~She wooed the maid to hunt
 59    25|       there was none~In the male cheer by which she was misled,~
 60    25|         us such court and goodly cheer,~As men to queen or high-born
 61    25|         Rogero for his sake good cheer;~But not with wonted welcome; --
 62    26|         captive two with doleful cheer,~Who found themselves awaited
 63    26|     raised her face with haughty cheer,~And answered him: "Thy
 64    26|       she forgets her friends to cheer;~But Malagigi and Vivian,
 65    27|        the Saracens, with humble cheer,~Thank Heaven for the success
 66    27|    warlike Rodomont, with goodly cheer~And kindlier mien, the landlord
 67    28|          of his hand, now of his cheer,~And, questioned by that
 68    28|         table, rich in spiritual cheer,~Had speedily bestirred
 69    29|          Rodomont, with troubled cheer,~Afoot, as he that tower
 70    30|       and advanced with wrathful cheer.~A solid staff and knotted,
 71    30|          knights, with change of cheer,~Some weep and some rejoice,
 72    30|           its fasting youth doth cheer.~With them a day or more
 73    32|     Marphisa hight, of beauteous cheer,~Bold and as skilled in
 74    32|        heartened with more solid cheer.~If new or ancient were
 75    32|      gale,~Is seen to change her cheer, and is no more~The fair
 76    32|          me, though in beauteous cheer~The palm I to that damsel
 77    32|         s defence, her beauteous cheer~And mirth revive, and brighten
 78    33|  courteous lord,~For his kind of cheer and hospitable board.~ ~
 79    33|          to bring the hospitable cheer;~And hopes that now the
 80    33|         foregone, with nought to cheer,~Laments, and sighs, and
 81    34|    strength with us, with genial cheer."~Continuing his discourse,
 82    34|  Sufficiently with goodly forage cheer.~Astolpho they with fruits
 83    34|        against the Philistine to cheer;~ ~ LXIV~"He, your Orlando,
 84    36|         every strife with joyous cheer.~ ~ ~ I~Where'er they be,
 85    38|        lend -- I read it in your cheer --~That good Rogero should
 86    39|          the friends with joyful cheer,~By England's duke and Danish
 87    40|          thy death the Christian cheer,~Whence he might hope to
 88    41|          sun-burned sicklemen to cheer,~And which ('tis said) lured
 89    41|          angry voice and haughty cheer,~The pagan interrupted,
 90    42|     Italy, and is with courteous cheer~And welcome guested by a
 91    42|      marking, ever and anon, his cheer,~Observes his heart with
 92    43|      distance nor for straitened cheer,~Which will not let Thought
 93    43|          and Astolpho make great cheer;~Yet other mirth whose warriors
 94    43|         will now be theirs! what cheer!~What of thy consort will
 95    44|       triumphal and with festive cheer~The troop returns within
 96    44|       arms returns with fondling cheer:~So Leo, though Rogero in
 97    44|        and found such hospitable cheer,~He to fare further had
 98    45|        bound, and without sun to cheer,~Rogero lay, upon a grate
 99    45|          both cheeks with loving cheer.~"I would," he cried, "that
100    46|         generous wine and goodly cheer~Thither bade carry, in a
101    46|       day, when at their festive cheer~Was seated solemnly the
