 2     5|      That still 'twixt man and wife, with rage possessed,~Injurious
 3     5|     free)~Her he shall have to wife, with ample dower,~Who saves
 4     9|      does speed,~And finds new wife or maid whereon to feed:~ ~
 5    11|     afterwards Oberto takes to wife.~ ~ ~ I~Although a feeble
 6    11|           LXXX~Oberto takes to wife Olympia fair,~And her of
 7    14|      outraged, sister, mother, wife, and maid,~And cast on earth
 8    17|     visage wore.~With her were wife and maid, a numerous court,~
 9    17|  Fortune guide,~When the orc's wife alone was in the lair.~Seeing
10    17|     Come with desire beside my wife to die.'~ ~ XXX~"He afterwards
11    17|     cheat, as first to him the wife had told:~In any case to
12    17|        in any thing assist his wife.~ ~ LXII~"So the orc's wife,
13    17|    wife.~ ~ LXII~"So the orc's wife, as well upon her side,~
14    17|        was instructed that his wife was gone;~For the orc's
15    17|      shun,~He would direct his wife to some repair,~Whence he
16    18|       him, had promised to his wife.~ ~  LIV~Lurcanio next met
17    18|      place:~For every maid and wife, who there is bred,~Is through
18    18|     finish in the bosom of his wife.~ ~ CLXXV~And now the Saracen
19    19|      the greenwood shade,~With wife and children; and, short
20    20|     from her Alexandria had to wife,~With those whom he had
21    20|     oft ten thousand, maid and wife,~I in the place have witnessed;
22    20|       adieu to salvage Guido's wife,~And to the four, her comrades
23    21|     bathed in bitter tears the wife discerned.~ ~  XXI~"And
24    21|        Nor he, who only on his wife relies,~Trusts any with
25    21|        up to thee.'~So did his wife into that quicksand steer~
26    21|  husband (it appears to me)~If wife she rightly could be called;
27    25|       reign.~Foully did Ninus' wife and impiously~For her own
28    27|     there,~To know if any to a wife were tied;~And landlord
29    28|    Silent even young Jocundo's wife remained;~He showing her
30    28|      in his arms would die~The wife from whom he was to wend
31    28|      immersed~For his deserted wife: he, on his side,~For other
32    28|        with the mention of his wife, that wound~Inflamed and
33    28| conqueror, by a dame received,~Wife of the comeliest, of the
34    28|        Because he had his evil wife espied~In the embraces of
35    30|       en;~And, there embracing wife and children dear,~Mother
36    32|    Wooed and yet woo her for a wife, and vie~In valour, and,
37    32|            LXVIII~"As well, if wife or maid seek that repair,~(
38    34|      horde~Of those who left a wife or wedded lord.~ ~ XV~"But,
39    34|    that cavalier;~Weening this wife that I, upon my part,~Should
40    34|        from the monarch as his wife,~As meed of all that booty
41    34|        summer-day thus village wife we view,~When the new silk
42    36|    Bertram name)~His brother's wife with an incestuous flame;~ ~
43    37|       were he living now,~That wife, so virtuous and to thee
44    37|       thus to him that village wife replies:~ ~ XXXVIII~"What
45    37| foreign shore,~A baron and his wife their steps address:~A marvel
46    37|  Lungavilla,~And she, his lady wife, yclept Drusilla.~ ~ LIII~"
47    37|     brave defence and long,~Of wife and life was plundered by
48    37|   chaste a lady and so fair,~A wife's and not a leman's name
49    37|    good will of thine avenging wife;~ ~ LXXIV~" `And of our
50    37|        or the daughter, or the wife,~Seeking no more their rebel
51    37|    nuptial noose,~Still to his wife he would allegiance bear,~
52    41|        dear;~And how he by his wife should long be sought,~With
53    42|       and chastity,~Above that wife who whilom bore her name.~
54    42|          CI~"If certain of thy wife's fidelity,~Thou hast more
55    42|       her dear~Than one, whose wife is evil known to be,~Or
56    42|        would'st be assured thy wife is true~(As sure methinks
57    42|     breast.~If faithful is thy wife, thou shalt drink clean.~
58    43|       tis folly to explore,~My wife's a woman; every woman's
59    43|       and see;~Whatever by his wife is done and said;~Passes
60    43|    assay,~Whereby my cherished wife was reft away!~ ~ X~"Wherefore
61    43|      in me~The knowledge of my wife's fidelity.~ ~ XXIII~"I
62    43|       belief, and certitude~My wife to me was faithful evermore,~
63    43|        fault aware.~The chaste wife's lord thereof may drink;
64    43|   dwelling on a day,~Beheld my wife, who pleased him so at sight,~
65    43|  watchful eye.~ ~ XXXIX~"Me my wife's words like poisoned weapon
66    43|    Bethink thee of what hue my wife became,~Taken by me in such
67    43|      wouldst betray me then, O wife, for gain,~If there was
68    43|       know what husband of his wife should know,~Is cause, by
69    43|            XLVIII~"If she, thy wife, by avarice was inclined~
70    43|        was true,~Had tried his wife by too severe a test:~For
71    43|       breast.~I know not if of wife thou has heard tell~(For
72    43|        treasure on the judge's wife conferred."~"Thereof," replied
73    43|     LXXXIV~"Nor beauty, to his wife the husband cries,~Nor noble
74    43|       His going doth his woful wife deplore.~O heaven, what
75    43|         XC~"Now to support his wife, as best he may,~From falling
76    43|  grieves, he guilty should his wife suppose;~As if she hath
77    43|       If shame and evil to his wife be done;~Of if she yet her
78    43|     between the beldam and his wife:~For whereso women are,
79    43|        his evil vein~He to his wife, unhappy wretch! hath shown,~
80    43|     her evil will.~ ~ CXL~"The wife Argia, that is hid fast
81    44|       XXXVII~But Beatrice, his wife, with more despite~Arraigns
82    44|      with the sword.~Me as his wife let him that wins me, wear;~
83    45|     hinder Leo of his destined wife~Marphisa works, and kindles
84    45|       It seems impossible that wife or maid,~Blest with thy
85    45|        him should his plighted wife be torn;~And nought thereof
86    45|       Bradamant to be Rogero's wife;~ ~ CIV~And this, before
87    46|        is paired her brother's wife, who ne'er~Swerved from
