Canto

 1     3|       sire,~His dirge is heard: A stripling of thy race,~Young Obyson,
 2     4|    reunited.~ ~ XLII~Now that the stripling sees her here, and knows~
 3     4|           Feared might befall the stripling, born through air,~As gentle
 4     6|   Fluttered within his breast the stripling's heart.~All Europe's region
 5     6|            Would gladly serve the stripling if he cou'd:~But, witless
 6     7|          move;~No wonder then the stripling was her prey,~Who in the
 7     7|          Yes, now she comes," the stripling often said,~And reckoned
 8     7|         the great love she to the stripling bore,~Set not on gifting
 9     7|         wrought.~ ~ LIV~About the stripling's neck, a splendid string~
10     8|          with her talons tore~The stripling, and his horse so terrified,~
11     9|           well applied~Behind the stripling's head the ponderous blade,~
12     9|         Thus fell the ill-starred stripling, in despite~Of king Cymosco,
13    10|        ocean, bears~The faithless stripling's sail across the deep,~
14    11|       chrystal light.~ ~ LXVI~The stripling heats his golden arrow's
15    12|         The royal maid a bleeding stripling found.~ ~ LXVI~But of Angelica
16    15|           the city, view~A gentle stripling; and in him the three~Agnize
17    16|      wonders seen to do~Than ever stripling of his age, he strowed~The
18    16|        fall to ground:~ ~ LXXII~A stripling he, who such sweet musick
19    18|           s despite,~And with the stripling who loved Isabel,~Is waging
20    18|        eyes.~In all his talk, the stripling, woful wight,~Here cannot
21    19|           his followers seize~The stripling: like a top, the boy turns
22    19|        not slay.~ ~ XI~To him the stripling turns, with suppliant cry,~
23    19|         XX~When fair Angelica the stripling spies,~Nigh hurt to death
24    19|           this did she foment the stripling's wound,~And, even to the
25    19|        and increased the more~The stripling's wounds were seen to heal
26    20|        wrought~On her to will the stripling should not die,~Should he
27    20|        When so successful was the stripling's might,~He took the 'say
28    20|       LXIX~On the other hand, the stripling's age, in May~Of youth,
29    21| unmeriting such pain,~(So was the stripling named, described by me)~
30    21|         There dooms the guiltless stripling to remain,~And suffer prisonment'
31    22|        her each night the amorous stripling lay,~Nor any had suspicion
32    22|      afflicting be~Than such fair stripling's torment to discern,~Or
33    22|      desire~To snatch the unhappy stripling from the fire.~ ~ XLIV~And
34    22|       fear that we shall find the stripling dead."~ ~ XLVII~"And wherefore
35    22|           Guido the savage, but a stripling yet,~Gryphon, and Aquilant,
36    22|          succour, I~Much fear the stripling in the fire will die."~ ~
37    22|           she is gone to bear the stripling aid;~Fearing he may be burnt,
38    25|       pallid hue.~ ~ IX~As on the stripling's face he turns his eyes,~
39    25|        his lady ran,~Besought the stripling so, that he began.~ ~ XXVI~"
40    25|        That true religion had the stripling swayed~Men might at any
41    26|          To venge the injury that stripling burns,~And runs at Rodomont
42    28|          would repair~To seek the stripling, and his utmost do.~The
43    28|         chaste, saw sleeping at a stripling's side.~Forthwith Jocundo
44    28|        The ground that melancholy stripling eyed.~Faustus, who vainly
45    28|          Pastime and company, the stripling gall,)~He aye betakes himself;
46    28|    recalled to mind,~And, for the stripling taken to her bed,~To deem
47    28|        night.~ ~ LVI~"As groom, a stripling in the hostel plied,~Who
48    28|       another gazed.~ ~ LVII~"The stripling asked her whitherward they
49    28|            displaid.~The cautious stripling did as he was taught,~And,
50    29|          other mischief safe, the stripling lit,~And for some scratches
51    30|   Durindane:~Yet on the croup the stripling tumbled back,~Closing his
52    30|          but often, certified~The stripling would observe his faith,
53    32|           or for slave.~The cruel stripling knows what pangs I prove,~
54    32|          sword,~Above a month the stripling kept his bed:~And had the
55    35|         Rogero found;~And let the stripling know the stranger knight,~
56    36|       guide~Her lance in mode the stripling least to pain.~Marphisa
57    36|         when that duel's turn the stripling eyes,~He stands amazed and
58    36|           were dear.~For this the stripling's love was fury, fire;~For
59    36|         Thinking another joys the stripling's love,~Thus speaks, as
60    36|           spread,~Leaving another stripling in his stead,~Of his own
61    36|         Agolant's inroad next the stripling told,~With Agramant and
62    37|            Who bade bear home the stripling on a bier:~He, finding he
63    37|            Nor does the miserable stripling read~She would avenge Olindro
64    37|           prize,~By the rapacious stripling, as I shewed,~Who being
65    38|          done) Rogero stayed.~The stripling may appay the warlike fair~
66    38|        true and dear;~That to the stripling evermore did write,~As one
67    39|          too foul an oversight,~A stripling boy in peril yet untried,~
68    41|          raiment steeps~Of gentle stripling, or of damsel fair,~-- Who
69    41|         he stood,~A new alarm the stripling terrified;~To be within
70    41|    Against the Lombards shall the stripling fight)~Of that fair land
71    42|         eastward rove:~But that a stripling Saracen should reap~The
72    43|           cabins in his round~The stripling halts, before he stops elsewhere;~
73    45|           a palm's breadth in the stripling's rear;~Constantine's sister
74    45|         it would fain~Enter, that stripling to the quick to gore:~Yea,
75    45|        force and quickness by the stripling shown;~And, without e'er
76    46|         nigh reduced to death the stripling lay.~ ~ XXVI~They found
77    46|       tender years,~And ranks the stripling above all his peers.~ ~
78    46|           these virtues gilt, the stripling glows.~ ~  XCIV~In this
79    46|        whom he smote so sore,~The stripling never was so stunned before.~ ~
80    46|        grapples; and to throw~The stripling sorely in that strife contends.~
