 1     1|      gain, and what the guerdon won,~Though I should yield my
 2     1|        of old~Your prowess ever won with sword and mail."~This
 3     2|         secret grief confessed,~Won by her gentle speech and
 4     2|        a dark and barren vale I won,~Where caverned mountains
 5     4|        After the hippogryph has won such height,~That he is
 6     6|       Rinaldo for Dalinda mercy won;~Who from her fault's due
 7     6|       and towns above a hundred won.~ ~ XLV~"Nor at this hour
 8     6|        I each separate good had won,~Which to mankind is dealt
 9     7|       made good, the drawbridge won:~And ere of his escape Alcina
10     8|   Rogero's suit the enchantress won,~To his first shape transformed
11     9|        slay me when his end was won.~ ~ XLIII~"Ere new disturbance
12     9|     duke taken, and the victory won:~And thought to feast and
13    11|    troop of mares, had made his won:~These, seeking pasture,
14    12|         fair,~Which how Orlando won the helmet said;~And from
15    13|        in my eyes alone Zerbino won,~Who was the mighty king
16    14|      king in vain,~That save he won the blade Orlando wore,~
17    14|         he by chance and valour won and wore;~To find the warrior
18    14|       my love deserve; if it is won~By birth, -- who boasts
19    15|    forego.~How fields are fitly won was then made plain;~For
20    15|      whom new countries will be won;~Ten chase a thousand of
21    15|        s gain~Which Julius ever won on Afric's strand,~Or in
22    15|      new kingdom and new empire won."~ ~ XXXVI~Thus of the victories,
23    15|        those parts, and wont to won~Ashore or under water, and
24    15|         the palm he has already won;~As he that hopes with small
25    16|         in this city make their won.~ ~ LXXXVII~"Satan (in sooth,
26    17|        of warriors to the rocky won,~Gradasso, and Agrican's
27    17|         to acquire;~For that is won for Christ, which you desire.~ ~
28    18|     mode to enrage these two is won;~And other means may work
29    18|       truth, in glory thou hast won;~Whatever satisfaction thou
30    18|     Twas he that in the tourney won such fame,~And had, by one
31    19|         move a mountain, and so won~Upon Zerbino's mood, to
32    19|    XVIII~Angelica, when she had won again~The ring Brunello
33    19|    before~He the mid square had won) his collar through,~So
34    20|   pleasure him to see and hear,~Won from her mother; and, about
35    20|       say of all the troop, and won~Such grace with Orontea,
36    20|    fails to free,~She will have won the victory in vain;~For
37    22|          within the enchanter's won.~Impeded by his shield and
38    22|        might his fortilage have won.~To earth himself like fox,
39    23|     Durindana from the count be won.~Pursuing whom, I through
40    25|        had in that long warfare won:~Nor them to interrupt or
41    26|           Prudence like his who won Thrasymenae~And Trebbia'
42    27|     resort.~ ~ X~Now, the field won, wherein with mickle fame~
43    27|        so renowned for trophies won,~The martial maid, Marphisa'
44    27|         consent they could have won.~ ~ XLIV~King Agramant,
45    27|       had he by force or treaty won,~And when and where and
46    27|        who that single palm has won.~-- How is it possible that
47    28|      the wives of others can be won~To do what others by our
48    29|   hundred and a thousand may be won;~But none beside me, or
49    29|        be,~Than were all Europe won to-day by thee.~ ~ XVII~"
50    30|       XLII~"Ah! as I might have won you from my foe,~Why did
51    31|   Gradasso had the brand,~Which won such thousand palms in Roland'
52    32|        snake-haired Furies pity won,~In those dark realms that
53    32|        words thou might'st have won,~To deem that cold and darksome
54    32|         I should forfeit what I won in arms.~ ~ CV~"And if it
55    33| victorious train,~When Gaul was won, bethought him how to cast~
56    34|         his share, when all was won,~My sovereign beauties for
57    34|      grace my person would have won,~Nor waited many days, had
58    34|      father would not have been won,~To him I would so earnestly
59    34|        taking what his arms had won --~Armenia and Cappadocia
60    36|         when you, with ensignry~Won from the foe, and with his
61    36|         so the lady should have won;~How Risa open to the foe
62    37|      the ancients; as if glory, won~By woman, dimmed their own,
63    38|      hope more treasure to have won~Than swelled rich Croesus'
64    38|        more fields than we have won.~ ~ LVI~"I fear, if heretofore
65    39|    first assault, the walls are won,~And with Orlando who the
66    40|        plate from ancient altar won.~The mother this, that bore
67    40|       he thy neighbour, will be won,~Surely with men and money
68    40|       Child as courteous answer won.~-- Their names on either
69    40|       him that iron mace,~Which won him deathless fame in many
70    41|         profit, if the field be won,~Weighs not against the
71    43|    prevent the child from being won,~As was erewhile the mother,
72    43|         from memory; me Melissa won~(So well she soothed and
73    43|      consort), or the contrary.~Won by his prayers, he takes
74    43|     wrought on her till she was won~To buy the beauteous dog,
75    43|        hard and bloody conquest won:~Dead was Sir Brandimart;
76    43|       CLIV~At the fair conquest won by Roland's blade,~Sansonet
77    43|    other followers carried are,~Won from good warriors, whose
78    44|         garden by his might~Had won the blade with mickle toil
79    44|         have lofty Atlas passes won,~The horses that the Nubian
80    44|         such a glorious victory won~-- But for that sad disaster --
81    44|       shall it be by any riches won:~So vile a price no gentle
82    44|        town was bent~Anew, late won by the Bulgarian foe.~In
83    44|        not for them the warrior won the field,~The warrior,
84    45|       him Rogero Bradamant hath won,~Making that maid appear
85    45|   clutch by whom that field was won,~Was nigh remaining shorter
86    45|      royal sire, the knight~Who won that battle to such trust
87    45|     could, yet hardly could, be won;~Nay, I will say outright,
88    46| Erewhile Rogero for the Bulgars won;~How Leo and his sire were
89    46|       reads aright;~And he hath won the lady for his wife:~So
90    46|      him that loves her best be won,~None passes him, nor with
91    46|      forego his settled purpose won;~But that proud lord in
92    46|      realm, by their entreaties won;~And, to afford them aid
