Canto

 1     1|       myself, should'st mount and stay~To wait this battle's end,
 2     1|          his gallant steed,~And, "Stay, Bayardo mine," Rinaldo
 3     2|        drink, and on its banks to stay;~On the left side a cultivated
 4     2|     course,~Called to the dame to stay, and rode and cried.~This
 5     3| perscribed by fate;~Nor let aught stay thee till the thief be thrown~
 6     3|         the house of Saxony shall stay,~And prop the ruin with
 7     3|      endeavours bent to bless and stay~The people, that his sovereign
 8     3|       would too long protract thy stay;~And Phoebus, many times,
 9     3|         more shalt need Melissa's stay."~ ~ LXIV~All night the
10     3|         there thy mind incline~To stay the execution of my lore.~
11     4|     griffin soars, nor can Rogero stay~The flying courser; while,
12     4|      daughter needs some friendly stay,~Now sore bested, against
13     5|     brother, then right young, to stay~In our king's court, came
14     5|           love of God, the battle stay;~Then list, sir king, to
15     6|          bounds, and the deserter stay.'~Rogero thanked the tree
16     7|         came, and restless at her stay,~Often believed some hinderance,
17     8|         pleasure took with her to stay.~ ~ XXXI~His heart with
18     8|        him as himself, behind him stay;~Whether to bring him back
19     9|           clean; but after little stay,~Came with new arms, with
20    11|        prying eyes, prolonged her stay;~ ~ XI~And about evening,
21    12|           a dome, Rogero there to stay.~Here too Rogero comes;
22    12|           the enchanted cage they stay,~Nor can depart; while in
23    13|         kings; the column and the stay~Of glorious realms and houses
24    14|      yield their sovereign little stay."~Nothing the blessed winged-one
25    14|           who had been his former stay,~From the good habits he
26    15|           exile, loathing more to stay,~Burnt with desire to tread
27    15|         had Orrilo shouted "Hola! stay!"~But that the duke had
28    16|           had I borne for thee to stay,~I know not if I should
29    16|     honour safe in his protecting stay;~And this encounter with
30    16|         the buckler so the weapon stay,~Though made of palm within,
31    16|        Behind, and cried withal, "Stay, traitor, stay."~Nor from
32    16|           withal, "Stay, traitor, stay."~Nor from its aim the sword-stroke
33    17|        beneath his palace-roof to stay;~Where he let nought be
34    17|       love of Heaven he would not stay;~Since there he tarried
35    17|         with him. What caused her stay~In Nicosia was a cruel gale~
36    17|          them enter, and the duel stay:~They part the knight, whom
37    17|          the wiser few their fury stay.~ ~ CXXXII~That which of
38    18|        rich Aleppo makes a longer stay.~God, to make plain that
39    18|      parforce a-foot, I sought to stay~A robber, who had sore offended
40    18|        the Africans, who had some stay,~While Dardinello valour
41    19|      pleased the maid,~Who was to stay with him, by pity led,~Beneath
42    19|          they had prolonged their stay~More than enow, the damsel
43    19|           himself; who there must stay and wed~Ten wives by him
44    19|       content beneath the yoke to stay,~According to the custom
45    19|     LXVIII~"And at your choice to stay shall also be,~Whether a
46    19|            That he who here would stay and would be free,~Can with
47    19|       pleased beneath his roof to stay.~ ~ CVII~They unsuspecting
48    20|          fortune has been here to stay,~I oftentimes have heard
49    20|        apart, by them implored to stay:~Who since the fleeting
50    20|         opined) they there should stay~Upon man's sex, which had
51    20|       present there) to make some stay~Would have compelled them
52    22|         long had ceased to be her stay,~Again upon the grieving
53    22|           time can here afford to stay."~"Behold the man," that
54    23|         in that place resolves to stay,~Couched on the verdant
55    23|          to bad faith ascribe her stay,~But this to Fortune charge,
56    23|       abandons who make him their stay,~For prince Zerbino such
57    23|    Waiting him, in that territory stay:~But, after that, would
58    23|           that swain, he will not stay~Till the morn break, or
59    24|        year shalt with the beldam stay,~Nor ever leave this while
60    24|       beside a fount is forced to stay:~Him to assist the pitying
61    25|        knight's expected succour, stay.~Then Love is not of evil
62    25|           thee:~But seeing how my stay increased thy woe,~I, who
63    26|         cut of spear or faulchion stay;~So that the two the battle
64    27|       with paladins, his faithful stay,~Arrived demanding what
65    27|         did the king that courser stay.~At last he caught him;
66    28|          hope to find his natural stay.~ ~ LXXXIX~Rodomont navigates
67    28|         brooked no more aboard to stay,~But bade them land him,
68    28|      advice that mournful dame to stay,~And lest she quit her course,
69    29|        was ledge or barricade,~To stay the horses's fall, who lost
70    29|          meddling, saucy villain, stay thy feet!~ ~ XLII~"Only
71    30|       Bradamant, his spouse, does stay,~But Fate forbade, that
72    30|        the courier damsel she did stay:~With tidings of her love
73    30|          in Mount Alban's keep to stay;~Nor ever thence that lady
74    31|           to hold my horse, shall stay."~So spake Mount Alban's
75    31|           safely as himself might stay~The foe in his pavilion,
76    31|        through talk their journey stay,~Neither through speed abate
77    31|         with him in his pavillion stay.~The paynim king in armour
78    32|          that does for her Rogero stay,~Tidings are brought which
79    32|        for the youthful warrior's stay,~She, full of hope, the
80    32|          one only in that mansion stay,~He with those two, or more,
81    32|           one remain;~The fairest stay, and she least fair retreat.~
82    33|      Benevento's duke the monarch stay,~Whose thinner files his
83    33|           almost at the same time stay~With succour, and the papal
84    33|          noble duke the foe shall stay,~And, at Ticino's passage,
85    33|          of the staff, his wonted stay,~Through joy, with outstretched
86    36|         slow,~And undecided if to stay or go.~ ~ XVI~Now fierce
87    37|         whom (does she advance or stay)~Triumphs and trophies evermore
88    40|         it be better to depart or stay:~Lastly for Agramant decides
89    43|       obliged herself with her to stay.~Through all the signs the
90    44|        that the crew their coming stay,~Albeit the wind blew fair
91    46|       vigour had recruited by the stay.~He, Leo, and Melissa then
