 1     1|        thy breast.~What were thy gain, and what the guerdon won,~
 2     1|      long toil I see not what we gain~But simple loss and unrequited
 3     1|        call,~(Who shall no glory gain) for such is he~Who is the
 4     2|        other on his horse:~Small gain to this; for inexperienced
 5     3|     Adria (better held and surer gain)~Which gives her title to
 6     3|          duel, hand to hand,~And gain the praise of Catalonia'
 7     3|    bounds, whom papal gold shall gain,~Who shall from him Bastia
 8     3|      faithful guide.~ ~ LXV~They gain a hidden glen, which heights
 9     4|          glory, death may be his gain.~Here Arthur, Galahalt,
10     4|      rear,~You by the deed shall gain a glorious prize,~The sweetest
11     5|      industry, Geneura's love to gain.~ ~  XVI~"With all my heart,
12     5|          hope stood more fair to gain its end?~No less than you,
13     6|      Lest empire over him Alcina gain.~ ~ LVIII~He to remount
14     9|        if from his side~He could gain footing on the adverse shore;~
15     9|          more strife, the vessel gain~A port, where Antwerp's
16     9|         lightly hopes his end to gain;~Nor for the earthly thunderbolt
17     9|       seemed breath and force to gain.~As African Anteus, in the
18    11|       glory hoped, and praise to gain.~ ~ XLIX~But as the usage
19    12|        him replies,~On his great gain intent, his glorious prey;~
20    12|      forth his hand the prize to gain.~For so it was, that neither
21    12|   Spaniard what he sought~Should gain, or I to his intent conduce."~
22    14|          his victory reaps other gain,~Than yielding up himself
23    15|       him more than any battle's gain~Which Julius ever won on
24    15|     captains for their lord will gain,~Andronica did with Astolpho
25    16|         er every nation, you may gain~Eternal glory, bought with
26    16|      fair enterprise arrayed,~No gain, no glory served you as
27    16|        standards, in the hope to gain,~By young Zerbino's death,
28    17|       there make off, but little gain~By flying him; for swifter
29    18|          Fill road and field; to gain the city-wall~Some strive,
30    18|     conquer, see the praise, the gain! --~If conquered, see the
31    18|        the tourney's meed should gain.~ ~ CXXXIII~Eight days or
32    18|          with his loss he better gain~Esteemed, that here to hazard
33    18| themselves they think sufficient gain.~Thither by what he deems
34    18|      thus some spoil or prize to gain,~They, every one, towards
35    19|          every thing to lose, or gain~Their liberty, -- to her
36    19|     touch the ground before they gain~Their feet, and now the
37    20|          dispersed, their living gain.~Arms are the trade of some,
38    20|        the adventurous youth can gain,~And they, for this, anew
39    20|        are covetous of spoil and gain,~And ill-bested withal in
40    20|          for theirs, not others' gain.~The dames all others sentence
41    20|     shouldst behold, nor seek to gain the prey."~To her the prince, "
42    21|         rigorous mood the worthy gain~Have and enjoy. In close
43    21|         Progne, a Medea; impious gain!~-- And but his knightly
44    21| defrauded of the meat;~So on ill gain intent, the leech, in lieu~
45    22|      fruits he of her love would gain,~Nor find her ever stubborn,
46    22|        failed another's spoil to gain,~And voided in the joust
47    23|       Promising any one a mighty gain~That should denounce by
48    23|           XLIX~Or were it but to gain the promised prize; --~She
49    23|        fire within me, now would gain~A vent; and it is this which
50    26|       whom aught else but sordid gain is dear;~But they who real
51    26|          that, on him bestow the gain;~And all of those, whom
52    26|        belief he should Marphisa gain,~He more than once had jousted
53    27| Deserving well eternal praise to gain,~Vouching their deeds, a
54    27|     changed, to either's loss or gain.~The compromise was liked
55    28|          hoarded out of frequent gain~From parting guests, and
56    28|        in turning some relief to gain,~Finds neither on this side
57    29|        he his wicked will should gain;~Who, having his unhappy
58    29|        fragment clung,~Who so to gain the higher steep would strive;~
59    30|        evil may ensue and little gain~Out of the battle you to
60    32|         What supplication cannot gain,~I hope to make thee do
61    32|    ensues,~Nought can the damsel gain, and much may lose;~ ~ CVI~"
62    32|       lose;~ ~ CVI~"And save the gain and loss well balanced be~
63    33|   erthrown.~They, that intent to gain the golden shield,~Had sought
64    33|          he thinks it praise and gain,~By such illustrious warriors
65    33|     sought him there with little gain,~Fared to his camp afoot,
66    34|      deemed he had deserved such gain,~Pressed close the Lydian
67    34|        For on my father, bent on gain and gear~And avarice, of
68    34|          honest suit he hoped to gain~Had been at first rejected
69    35|      which lasting praise should gain.~Two swans there are amid
70    35|       impious river's bank, they gain~A hill, and on that hill
71    35|     tread in Caesar's steps, and gain~Authors for friends! They,
72    36|       from nature and from habit gain~What they henceforth can
73    37|         in seeking other gift to gain,~(For Nature, without study,
74    38|   Christian faith's and empire's gain.~ ~ XIX~Charles, no less
75    38|          good preferring private gain,~So spake in answer to the
76    38|      wight,~Who risks his own to gain another's right.~ ~ LIII~"
77    38|      right.~ ~ LIII~"If there be gain, ye know, Late thirty-two,~
78    38|     success you see,~At least to gain the victory use art,~Which
79    39|      Agramant, a sure retreat to gain,~Bade shut the city-gate
80    40|          The Nubian upon hope of gain intent,~Impatient of delay,
81    41|         you be conqueror, little gain ensues,~Yet little loss
82    41|      honoured title of a marquis gain;~ ~ LXV~And because Charles
83    43|    erewhile the mother, that for gain~Bartered her chastity, whose
84    43|      betray me then, O wife, for gain,~If there was one that would
85    43|          way,~And on thy journey gain withal a day."~ ~ LII~Good
86    43|         Corrupted will she be by gain and hire.~ ~ LXXXIX~"When
87    43|        with a life, thy glorious gain,~Which neither heat nor
88    43|      guerdon; mine the loss; thy gain~Is single; but not single
89    44|        price no gentle heart can gain:~Nor by nobility, nor kingly
90    45|         not all the bridge could gain)~Knew what a cruel slaughter
