Canto

 1     1|       hear,~Whom I with fitting praise prepare to grace,~Record
 2     1|       Bradamant who marred what praise of old~Your prowess ever
 3     3|      your touch the thunderer's praise,~What time the giants sank
 4     3|       widowed Italy~Her ancient praise and fame in arms restore;~
 5     3|      hand to hand,~And gain the praise of Catalonia's king.~Him,
 6     4|        little heed:~For this my praise the lady well might claim,~
 7     4|         is free,~And meets with praise, not mere impunity?~ ~ LXVII~"
 8     5|       which present~A mode, his praise and merits to instil:~And
 9     6|   requite~The service done with praise and grateful heart."~Rogero
10     7|        reckless all of fame and praise declined,~Wished length
11     7|     worth commends with fitting praise,~Tempering in truth and
12    11|      Then Phillis' and Neaera's praise forbear,~And ye who sing
13    11|         he had glory hoped, and praise to gain.~ ~ XLIX~But as
14    13|     beauty worthily deserve the praise.~ ~ II~Above I told you
15    13|     which so deceived my sight)~Praise in my eyes alone Zerbino
16    13|       thee, lady, to unfold~The praise and virtues of some noble
17    13|       should relate to thee~The praise of all who from thy root
18    13|      Heroic trump should in her praise be wound.~Hence the Biancas
19    13|         above every other noble praise,~Which shall distinguished
20    13|         To speak whose separate praise with fitting lore,~Were
21    14|     Taken and kept entire, more praise has shed~On you, than if
22    15|         You, sir, earned worthy praise, when you o'erbore~The lion
23    15|        great Octavius does more praise command,~Nor Anthony who
24    15|      native land -- their every praise.~ ~  XXXIV~"Let these, and
25    16| Agramant, desire to show,~Where praise, where riches are, they
26    16|    churches ought to show!~What praise! what glory! that alone,
27    17|         cavalier earns fame and praise,~While others scornful hoots
28    17|       side:~Nor deems enough to praise and hold him dear,~But wills
29    17|       wills that all around his praise should hear:~ ~ CXII~And
30    17|       princely deed, and worthy praise."~ ~ CXXVI~A voucher he
31    18|        of large portion of your praise defraud:~But, of your many
32    18|         now we conquer, see the praise, the gain! --~If conquered,
33    18|      way, leave none who merits praise behind.~ ~ XLVII~Zumara'
34    18|         can;~Who will no little praise that day deserve,~If he
35    19|  studies in that part~Worthy of praise and fame are held to be,~
36    20|         Fame bears my kindred's praise on outstretched wing,~Even
37    22|    other hand, a hundred will I praise,~And make their virtue dim
38    22|     that victory, worthy little praise.~"By what amends can I of
39    23|  recompence, for ever sing your praise.~ ~  CIX~"And any loving
40    24|     should not merit blame, but praise and meed.~ ~ XXXII~"The
41    25|    force of love, and thirst of praise!~Nor yet which most avails
42    26|  Bradamant well would deathless praise inherit,~Who nor in wealth
43    26| Admiring, upon all bestowed her praise;~But when she on Rogero
44    27|          Deserving well eternal praise to gain,~Vouching their
45    27|         with unwearied pain her praise rehearse~With pen and ink
46    28|     womankind; though ne'er~Was praise or fame conveyed in that
47    28|    pleased the monarch, who the praise conferred,~As that wherein
48    28|     wrath o'erblow,~Yet greater praise than blame on these bestow.~ ~
49    29|    adventure were~Achieved with praise or shame: in evil trim,~
50    30|         I see~If thou as worthy praise or blame regard~Such tardiness
51    30|       beauty voiced, Marphisa's praise;~Heard, how Rogero thither
52    31|       To that king paladin with praise replied~The stranger peer;
53    32|         graces to complete?~The praise of spotless truth to thee
54    32|         one;~Surpast in martial praise by few or none.~ ~ LV~"These
55    32|      Rabican's good paces merit praise,~To hurry him the damsel
56    33| Frederick shines;~And well that praise deserves, since by his spear,~
57    33|       that goodly knight, whose praise you heard~When rugged Ischia'
58    33|          Of Guasto hight -- the praise and prime renown~For that
59    33|   Unless perchance he thinks it praise and gain,~By such illustrious
60    35|     worthy names, which lasting praise should gain.~Two swans there
61    35|      debt I owe,~Speaking their praise; an author I below!~ ~ XXIX~"
62    36|      command,~That evermore the praise of justice bear,)~Were practised
63    36|     Hearing him, while upon her praise he dwells,~As the sky reddens
64    37|     hemisphere;~Whose gifts and praise have so extinguished been,~
65    37|      Cynthus' hill~Resound your praise, and lift it to the skies)~
66    37|       he promises as well,~Your praise to all posterity to tell.~ ~
67    37|      than one page I with their praise should swell,~Nor ought
68    37|       If, passing others, her I praise alone:~Nor joys this one
69    37|    Arria, and many more~Merited praise, because that glorious crew~
70    37|   leisure, will delay~Her every praise at length to certify.~Not
71    37|      been alway~Worthy of every praise and fame, withal~Had they
72    37|        And well deserving every praise; the peer~Derived of generous
73    38| Deserves excuse, it also merits praise:~This to preserve, I say,
74    38|       heart~It goes to waste my praise upon a foe);~I speak of
75    40|       gay;~Who, shouting in his praise, with loud acclaim,~Made
76    42|       several names with mickle praise explain~As well their own
77    42|         Should dare to sing her praise in humble strain,~As he
78    43|        mind would be~Worthy all praise, if he avoided thee.~ ~
79    43|    would shine thou dimm'st the praise;~Whom other studies, other
80    43|      becomes not man himself to praise.~ ~ XIII~"A sage within
81    44|       so his prowess harms,~But praise that peer and own his worth
82    45|       proper force, was due~The praise that they in knightly joust
83    45|     than thee, nor merited more praise;~Nor any other steed, whose
