Canto

 1     1|        to his side,~Deaf to his prayer, but flew with better speed.~
 2     5|          after long and earnest prayer,~Lifted to covering casque,
 3     8|       kindred and the courteous prayer~Of good Rogero with Melissa
 4     8|  justest reasons to support his prayer.~ ~ XXIII~The king made
 5     8|        Which to the suppliant's prayer made this reply:~ ~ LVI~`
 6     9|         will do a battle, at my prayer,~Upon the justest quarrel
 7     9|       move my stedfast mind,~By prayer and by protest, from this
 8     9|         resolve they read,~That prayer and protest are alike in
 9    13|   overtake his prey;~And many a prayer and glozing flattery taught,~
10    13|         vainly spent,~And every prayer and every flattery,~He would
11    13| perceived that fruitless was my prayer,~And that I could not hope
12    14|        fate, when at the many's prayer~The king bade loose him;
13    14|         celebrate mass-rite and prayer;~And those who had confessed,
14    14|      believe it?) amid mass and prayer.~Strange Michael thought
15    15|       waged at both the ladies' prayer.~ ~ LXXIV~Though it was
16    15|      turned aside his mind from prayer.~ ~ CI~For his misfortune,
17    17|     free her, by arms, gold, or prayer.~ ~ LXV~"Together with the
18    18|     sore~Reproach, and now with prayer he moves, and tries~What
19    18|         Who, toiling, them with prayer or menace stirred,~To march,
20    18|         moon, at young Medoro's prayer,~Out of a gloomy cloud put
21    18|           CLXXXV~At the youth's prayer from parted cloud outshone~(
22    19|     lord did sue~With courteous prayer, that till the coming day~
23    19|      They unsuspecting with the prayer complied,~And by the cheerful
24    20|         that we should hear his prayer;~But if he rashly boasts
25    20|       was hight)~Nor needs long prayer to make the dame agree,~
26    20| compelled them by her courteous prayer.~They disembarked; and that
27    20|       ever restive to Zerbino's prayer,~To what she had rehearsed
28    21|         have I but by threat or prayer~He him to further his desire
29    21|        be manifest.~ ~  LXV~"No prayer will move, nor offered price
30    22|      for long time with earnest prayer,~For courtesy the good Rogero
31    23|       piteous cry and fruitless prayer for life.~ ~ V~When she
32    23|      her thence; and prayed, if prayer should need,~That there
33    23|        at Angelica's persuasive prayer,~He to his farm had carried
34    24|          If ever earnestness of prayer could boot~To melt a heart
35    24|         mercy, without time for prayer,~A cruel death shall wait
36    24|    Willingly granted Isabella's prayer,~And straight to truce and
37    25|   Heaven as well might mock the prayer;~Night fades, and Phoebus
38    25|       and Elements I force: thy prayer~Shape to the scope to which
39    25|     viewed:~Nor answered she my prayer, but, for reply,~Me with
40    25|     obey,~Stood out against his prayer, more stiff than stone,~
41    26|        former day,~And now with prayer, now followed with affront.~
42    26|         before~Have prayed, and prayer and menace proving vain,~
43    26|         had, at her companions' prayer,~Cloathed her in female
44    26|    added many matters, with the prayer,~She would excuse him by
45    27|       elder's and with orphan's prayer,~Into the pure serene, where
46    27|     other hurled their books of prayer.~His hand within her locks
47    27|        XLIV~King Agramant, with prayer and kingly word,~Had willingly
48    27|        even should the maid thy prayer deny,~Let her in every wish
49    27|         to a village-landlord's prayer,~That in his inn besought
50    28|       dame complaint with their prayer.~They upon some bestow what
51    29|        in that sound,~He having prayer, and Ave vainly made,~Because
52    30|   against the Moorish monarch's prayer:~Since either deemed he
53    31|   bested,~And tear employs, and prayer, and suppliant vow:~-- "
54    31|     appear."~She ended, and her prayer so well addrest,~It touched,
55    32|        him unhelped by force or prayer~Of any one amid the paynim
56    33|        chamber at the monarch's prayer;~Wherein whatever deeds
57    34|  complains, that he rejects his prayer.~At length the Thracian
58    36|        wherewith to wound,~With prayer and threat, he interferes
59    37|        Ulany prefers demand, or prayer,~That they would venge them
60    37|   refused to live, and made her prayer,~Tanacro, as a grace, would
61    37|         solemn office, mass and prayer;~In the holy temple making
62    37|    people and his friends, with prayer, withstand;~And he bids
63    38|         had not with reiterated prayer~(As so she might have done)
64    40|        for guide,~That fast and prayer be made their army through,~
65    40|         Vigil and vow, and holy prayer and fast,~Kin, friends,
66    40|      warrior would not hear~The prayer to turn; but mid the foes
67    40|    force is not, little profits prayer.~He couched his lance, their
68    41|    heavens with vow, lament and prayer,~As far as they by sight
69    42|       done and said:~Had him by prayer and menace sought to bend,~
70    42|     Angelica more dear.~Rinaldo prayer unable to withstand,~In
71    42|       wend;~But he in fine that prayer can ill deny,~So honest
72    43|        If, unpersuaded still by prayer and boon,~She does no outrage
73    43|       by.~To her with suppliant prayer forthwith I sue,~And next
74    43|      from his threshold go.~Nor prayer shall soften her, nor beauty
75    43|       nurse's evil oratory,~The prayer and presence of the suitor
76    43|     could not fish the truth by prayer or fee,~Touching no chord
77    43|       one, to the other now her prayer~She made for knife, wherewith
78    44|       gentle gales,~Nor vow nor prayer the patron makes; and moors~
79    44|          if I anger Love, whose prayer shall save~Me from his fury,
80    44|     promise plight,~To grant my prayer; and fain would have you
81    45|      And thus, according to her prayer, commands~The Child to be
82    45|      Rather than not with Leo's prayer comply,~A thousand deaths,
83    45|        Charles at my daughter's prayer that edict made~Which has
84    46|          and with such forceful prayer appealed;~So gently and
85    46|       risk his life.~ ~ CXV~But prayer availed not on the damsel'
