Canto

 1     1|             I may be~Informed whose valour foiled me in the fray."~
 2     1|         prostrate laid~By the tried valour of a gentle maid.~ ~ LXX~"
 3     1|         That thou should'st hold my valour cheap, and not~Sufficient
 4     2|     enchanted place:~Or, should her valour in the adventure fail,~Would
 5     3|           guerdon of his works, and valour's fee.~ ~ XXXV~"But does
 6     3|             land.~And his redoubted valour lend such light,~The willing
 7     3|             good sire's, nor is his valour less;~Since here usurping
 8     5|            with affection might his valour fill;~But knowledge of his
 9     5|           And to deserve her by his valour meant~Of thee, if faithful
10     6|          light his goodness and his valour shed.~The pilgrim therefore
11     6|          vile,~And would prevail by valour, not by guile.~ ~ LXVIII~
12     9|             if his brand~And wonted valour fail him not at need.~Embarked
13    10|           in whom such chivalry~And valour shines. The Duke of Rothsay
14    11|            gallantry, no more~Shall valour prove their prowess as of
15    12|           others who stood high~For valour, and in France had greatest
16    12|         eyes,~Who in this world for valour has no peer,~With such a
17    12|          fair.~ ~ LXXXII~His mirror Valour bore about, and here~Each
18    13|              VIII~"In beauty and in valour's boast above~Those other
19    14|           Had routed by your single valour bled,~Of all who flocked
20    14|              Which he by chance and valour won and wore;~To find the
21    14|          angel moved those bands of valour tried,~And short to them
22    14|           beyond his very eyes:~And valour showed for her and courteous
23    14|             mounts the wall through valour, one through fear,~And all
24    15|              I see such faith, such valour in the deeds~Of young Alphonso (
25    15|           helpless wight to slay~No valour were, but rather foul misdeed:~
26    16|         gore defiled,~Shows not his valour more than cruel rage,~Heedless
27    16|              Upon the other side no valour feigns,~But shows, by doings,
28    16|            Ill matched, in arms and valour, were the foes,~For this
29    16|          But Fortune even more than Valour needs,~Which ill, without
30    17|         further faring,~If they had valour equal to their bearing.~ ~
31    17|             that it now behoves his valour flame~More clear than light,
32    17| contrast-sake combine,~That so your valour might more brightly shine?~ ~
33    18|   encounters, whom the knight,~With Valour and with Fortune for his
34    18|            firmly stand,~Maugre the valour which his deeds display,~
35    18|         begins to fail.~ ~ LXIV~But Valour, who so oft befriends her
36    18|        himself arrayed,~And who the valour of a sleeping knight,~With
37    18|      virtuous deeds, all knights of valour tried~The Syrian king invites,
38    18|         some stay,~While Dardinello valour did instil,~Fled here and
39    19|             Circassy,~Say what your valour has availed to you!~Say
40    20|            youth, with courtesy and valour fraught,~Upon the maid and
41    23|             two~Whom good Orlando's valour had laid dead:~Though afterwards
42    23|          thou mayest mark if, in my valour, I~Agree with that bold
43    23|            shall be thine if by thy valour bought.~ ~ LXXXI~"Although
44    24|            Well matched in soul and valour, either knight.~Already
45    25|             good Rogero's force and valour are,~As never now-a-days
46    25|          shewed,~If e'er his mighty valour well was scanned,~'Twas
47    25|            Nor greater strength nor valour would acquire,~Nor fame
48    26|             That she had marked his valour with surprise.~ ~ XXIV~As
49    26|        dread,~Sufficed the soul and valour of the four;~Nor better
50    30|           contend?~I so had them my valour shown, I know,~You would
51    30|         grow~As much, yea more, his valour and his might.~He at Rogero
52    31|       testimony bear~Than the tried valour which in you we see;~If
53    31|           Behold those! whom few~In valour and in prowess go before,~
54    32|             Since thou in matchless valour hast no peer,~And none with
55    32|          her for a wife, and vie~In valour, and, to win the lady's
56    32|        Lightly I hold your proof of valour here,'~(Those northern monarchs
57    32|            therefore, deem I, of my valour's meed~Ye would deprive
58    33|          blood of hostile vein.~But valour stoops at last to numbers;
59    33|          any one~Desires, again his valour to assay,~Would add but
60    34|             my part,~Should for his valour duly prize his heart.~ ~
61    34|           feats of many a sort, and valour high~Would make a tale too
62    34|        simple cavalier;~Who, saving valour, was with nought bested.~
63    34|             he oppose~And prove his valour on our other foes;~ ~ XXXVIII~"
64    35|      cavalier,~You will employ your valour to befriend~The faithfullest
65    36|       knight.~But since his doughty valour I have tried,~And wot not
66    36|             that he well Marphisa's valour knew;~-- At the beginning
67    37|             address:~A marvel he of valour, and as fair~As could be
68    38|           For mighty riches, or for valour famed.~ ~ XI~Her kindly
69    40|           with the martial Dane his valour matched.~ ~ LXXX~But for
70    41|         that these had proved: they valour were,~But valued less as
71    43|             Renowned in arms; whose valour is of all~Lauded and echoed
72    44|           son declare,~And vouch in valour as his father's peer,~"Witnesses
73    44|        themselves, on any side,~For valour or nobility of blood,~Better
74    44|          egregious mind,~Her mighty valour and her virtue high,~So
75    44|            is just and right."~"Thy valour, damsel dear, deserves from
76    44|            sworn)~Enamoured of such valour, on his part,~Would not
77    45|             Rogero was, but by that valour moved~Which sole and superhuman
78    45|             cavalier! thy matchless valour," cried,~"Hath in indissoluble
79    45|            can supply~(He sees) the valour wanting with his wit;~And
80    46|            Rogero, by thy wond'rous valour, though~I had thee at despite,
81    46|            she deserved by deeds of valour done,~What other is so worthy
82    46|        leads in age more staid;~And Valour as a guide before him goes.~
83    46|         justice, prudence, modesty,~Valour, and that fifty virtue,
84    46|            the Saracen in might,~Or valour which in the heart-core
