Canto

 1     1|      deign,~Thou that this age's grace and splendour art,~Hippolitus,
 2     1|        fitting praise prepare to grace,~Record the good Rogero,
 3     1|          is withered; whatsoever grace~It found with man or heaven;
 4     3|            mid those by heavenly grace~Chosen to minister this
 5     3|          Disposer of all earthly grace:~And, kneeling, hears a
 6     3|        his age, I wot, no common grace)~To hold the half of Italy
 7     3|   crowded fields, which scarce a grace supply,~Where Greek, Italian,
 8     4|          content,~And the king's grace, if through your means he
 9     5|    produced no friut,~Nor her to grace my duke could I dispose.~
10     5|          rare adventure, and the grace~With which the fair Geneura
11     5|       visage shew;~That he might grace him with such guerdon fair,~
12     6|         you my lodging please to grace,~Sir cavalier, and will
13     6|        banishment,~From her fair grace cast out. 'Tis then I weet~
14     6|        With such a mien~Embodied Grace and Beauty would be seen.~ ~
15     7|        witched, Rogero sure some grace deserves,~If from his faith
16     8|        her, some reasons full of grace,~Sage and devout the approaching
17     8|         the Godhead's sight find grace.~The first and all those
18     8|       this thou didst not in thy grace disdain.)~To have let them
19     8|     stray;~Endowed with manners, grace, and beauteous cheer,~Wisdom
20     9|         feign desire,~To win his grace, and have him for my sire.~ ~
21    10|          And beauty infinite and grace enjoy,~Which feed and nourish
22    11|        neither showed regard nor grace.~The one a giant was of
23    13|     praise-worthy excellence and grace.~ ~ LXXI~"And above every
24    14|         gifted more.~To him much grace was done by Agramant,~As
25    14|       the gift of they redeeming grace,~The account is quit and
26    15|       where it needs.~ ~ C~While grace the warlike three devoutly
27    16|      bloody brand, nor grants he grace,~In his career, to servant
28    16|          name;~-- With what rare grace and matchless art he wars,~
29    17|        Armenia; this the more~To grace, a vest, with noblest tissue
30    17|        worthy knight the warrior grace,~And over and above his
31    17|         man who shares~The royal grace, sits next below the king;~
32    18|          her own,~Makes him find grace in Norandino's eyes;~Who,
33    18|       world beside, unmatched in grace:~And Venus wills, till their
34    18|         had, in youth a pleasing grace.~Nor bound on that emprize, '
35    19|       court is held in sovereign grace,~And he that to his lord
36    19|  honoured king may lay:~No other grace I supplicate, nor I~This
37    19|       Medoro thus his suit, with grace, preferred,~And words --
38    20|         courage, gentleness, and grace.~ ~ XLIV~" `Ah! were the
39    20|          askest, though a scanty grace,~Were difficult to compass
40    20|         hundred women, grant him grace.'~ ~ LIV~"This was severe
41    20|      Absolve Elbanio by especial grace.~ ~ LVI~"To pardon him in
42    20|          the troop, and won~Such grace with Orontea, that the knight~
43    20|    implored the maid, she of her grace~Would bear her on the croupe
44    21|          thing below,~And in HIS grace divine my fame can clear --~
45    21|          yield to him with ready grace,~He haply would have ravished
46    23|        of the dead should vainly grace;~As one who, soiled with
47    24|     heaven, that had to him such grace displayed,~Giving him to
48    24|         am content,~Who, if full grace he has not merited,~Yet
49    25|        and do my sister no small grace;~And, having in a female
50    26|          held to-day,~And we. to grace it more, use every art:~
51    26|          when weary of imploring grace,~Those worthy peers (whose
52    26|          strength she shewed and grace)~Resembled heavenly Mars,
53    27|  untaught;~For with that special grace the sex is blest,~'Mid those
54    27| preferred that sovereign to such grace~As modest lady may, nor
55    28|        array;~For beauty borrows grace from glorious weeds.~Beside
56    28|      least, if neither youth nor grace avail,~The money may, with
57    29|          not lightly a perpetual grace,~A real joy, to be postponed
58    30|  gratulate they wend,~And do him grace and honour without end.~ ~
59    31|        all, nor grant one paynim grace;~And, ere they were by others
60    33|        born,~Whom with its every grace shall Heaven adorn.~ ~ XXX~"
61    33|       Italy, through this king's grace;~For all Rome's peerage,
62    33|        ask not, I, to be~-- Such grace I dare not ask -- restored
63    33|         a sinner I,~To such high grace unworthy to pretend.~To
64    34|       constrained;~Who with more grace my person would have won,~
65    34|   thriven,~But that such helping grace from God was given.~ ~ LVII~"
66    34|          usage, God bestowed~The grace, that weapon him should
67    34|       blinded so that knight, of grace forlorn,~That twice and
68    35|           All breathing love and grace, the victory~Will I resign;
69    37|        her prayer,~Tanacro, as a grace, would death bestow:~Resolved
70    37|       And of our lord for me the grace obtain,~To be this day in
71    37|          sort;~Who held it for a grace, with loss of shield,~Harness
72    38|    Rinaldo did the gentle damsel grace;~For he had oftentimes espied
73    39|     should remembered be:~Of the grace given him by his holy guide~
74    39|      souls! Oh great felicity!~O grace! which rarely man from God
75    39|         welcomed her with loving grace;~Nor his warm wishes would
76    41|             Had done with little grace; nor turned to God~Until
77    41|       blow;~To whom, for special grace, the King of heaven~A body
78    42|          all of equal charms and grace possest.~ ~ LXXXI~Upon two
