Canto

 1     1|         my other arms his helmet bright.~If Fortune now compel thee
 2     1| Propitious Fortune will his lady bright~Should hear the youth lament
 3     1|    bearing.~ ~ LII~An apparition bright and unforeseen,~She stood
 4     2|          to Paris with that lady bright;~Riding, in merry mood,
 5     2|         ever seen which shone so bright:~Nor could the warriors
 6     3|       sage Melissa to the damsel bright;~"To tell the deeds which
 7     3|        that his wisdom shines as bright~As his good sire's, nor
 8     4|            of steel, so fair and bright,~All nature cannot match
 9     4|         valley's centre springs;~Bright walls of steel about its
10     4|        haughty heart with rowels bright.~He runs a short career;
11     4|        sore grieving for Geneura bright,~For such is his unhappy
12     4|        took his steed and armour bright:~A squire that abbey furnished
13     5|       that portion of the palace bright;~Nor any went that way by
14     5| Troy-town, ever, with a blaze so bright,~Flamed, as with all his
15     5|      such scandal on that damsel bright,~The stain should cleave
16     5|       the whole story of Geneura bright,~And her unblemished innocence
17     6|          nigh the city-walls, so bright,~The world has not their
18     6|  Broidered with gold, and jewels bright to view.~That other winged
19     7|      finest metal was her armour bright,~With gems of many colours
20     7|   exceeds the rest as far~As the bright sun outshines each lesser
21     7|          now glittering~With the bright hoop, a bracelet fair is
22     7|         purpose, holy souls, and bright,~Which from thy fruitful
23     8|         vain her eyes the damsel bright~Directs, which water face
24     8|        daughter fair, so passing bright~And lovely, 'twas no wonder
25     8|          his fancy fed:~Of those bright eyes, and that bright face,
26     8|      those bright eyes, and that bright face, I say,~Which from
27    10|          this a stronger or more bright in show~Was never yet before
28    10|        than carbuncle or diamond bright.~We of like gems discourse
29    10|          artificer and substance bright~So well contend for mastery,
30    11|       sword, restore thy weapons bright,~Sad soldier, to the forge,
31    11|      beauteous tears his pinions bright~Love bathes, rejoicing in
32    11|       golden arrow's head~At her bright eyes, then slacks the weapon'
33    12|        good steeds, to chase the bright black eyes,~The fair vermillion
34    12|  Sacripant less plies the rowels bright.~Angelica, this while, retrains
35    14|      scattered and the sky turns bright;~About his person forms
36    16|         a slavish part,~Whom two bright eyes and lovely tresses
37    17|        stands before the portal, bright~With steel, his head and
38    17|       all other damsels fair and bright,~The king of Cyprus' daughter;
39    17|     Damascus' crowded square was bright~With corslet, plate, and
40    18|       good temper was his helmet bright.~As well the others many
41    18|         as well as either helmet bright,~Marphisa, when she all
42    19|     Divided into many bowers and bright.~The combatants remain as
43    20|       Dictaean the most rich and bright;~Of fair and amorous dames
44    22|   uplifting their moist rays and bright,~Most kindly to the inquiring
45    22|        and (for Rogero's orb was bright~And smooth) the hissing
46    23|          reins or ply the rowels bright.~Already dealt is either
47    23|          but bared his faulchion bright;~ ~ CXXX~Cleft through the
48    24|      away from him his faulchion bright,~And up-torn trees, and
49    24|         crimson line,~Stains the bright arms which on the warrior
50    24|     rather, flashing to the sky,~Bright flames by thousands and
51    25|    company~He finds it full, and bright with ruddy flame;~And, in
52    25|          the mid-ear her tresses bright,~Excepting sex and name,
53    25|       warrior true,~With whom so bright a lady deigned to pair,~
54    25|         not; nor yet burned less bright~The enamoured damsel's kindled
55    25|       she slept -- that huntress bright;~And how, with all her false
56    27|          and how, that faulchion bright;~And Mandricardo said that
57    30|         since I crave it, ladies bright;~You will excuse, if moved
58    32|       and widely spread~Were the bright tresses which the hermit
59    32|        the sun's visage, late so bright and pure,~Mantles all over
60    33|          open day had shown more bright.~ ~ VI~When thus the castle'
61    33|          of visage so benign and bright,~Is lord of Guasto and Alphonso
62    34|          hue surpass the crystal bright.~A breeze, which with one
63    34|          walls, beyond all usage bright.~ ~ LII~Thither where those
64    34|       the carbuncle more crimson bright,~It seemed one polished
65    34|         rest.~Before, from those bright spheres, now earthward bound,~
66    35|           Which, since from your bright eyes the weapon went,~That
67    35|          lodged so high.~On your bright visage, on your beauteous
68    35|        as vanquished, be.~To thy bright face, bright eyes, and beauteous
69    35|          be.~To thy bright face, bright eyes, and beauteous hair,~
70    36|       another kiss those lips so bright~And sweet, if those fair
71    38|          the sole wish to see so bright a pair.~ ~ X~By them was
72    41|     mortals, have shone forth as bright~In all fair gifts which
73    41|           and on their offspring bright;~Or Borso, Nicholas, and
74    41|        this forbids that armour, bright of show,~By Vulcan hammered,
75    42|        lowest rib, his faulchion bright;~And crimsoned to the hilt,
76    42|       whilom set at nought,~Such bright, such blessed moments wasted
77    42|         lasting fuel ever blazes bright;~And goodly buckler, tempered
78    42|          no less jocund, no less bright,~Succeeds, and on the writing
79    42|           that with her triumphs bright,~Without that lady fair
80    43|          high and beauty no less bright,~Which might have served
81    43|         she right gentle was and bright,~Nor because I believed
82    43|         my say;~But seeing those bright jewels flash like flame,~
83    43|        who so safely should that bright repair~With circling wall
84    43|           CXXXII~"This while for bright Argia in that part~The fay
85    43|         assault upon her tresses bright,~As if the fault was wholly
86    43|        laid, with jewels shining bright.~On which was stretched
87    44|           where to that squadron bright~Is mighty grace and wonderous
88    44|             X~"That from the two bright progenies, which none~Will
89    44|        Will shine, wherever that bright sun may glow;~And which,
90    44|       Rogero, who that faulchion bright~Received with good Frontino,
91    44|         The emperor Charles with bright and cheerful brow,~Lords,
92    45|       that hath beheld a garden, bright~With flowers and leaves
93    45|       and more beside the damsel bright~('Twixt which oft sobs and
94    46|  Hippolita Sforza, and Trivultia bright,~Bred in the sacred cavern,
