Canto

 1     1|    threads the forest hoar.~The stranger's mantle was of snowy white,~
 2     1|       As those two knights, the stranger and the king.~Their spears
 3     1|       dropt short and dead:~The stranger's, too, fell senseless;
 4     5|      With what full proofs, sir stranger, you have heard,~I of my
 5     5|     That thither had repaired a stranger knight,~To combat in Geneura'
 6     5|       that he knew not what the stranger's name.~ ~ LXXVIII~Not far
 7     5|          Between Lurcanio and a stranger knight;~Where, on a spacious
 8     5|      intent was justly due.~The stranger, after long and earnest
 9     6|      him a squire he brought,~A stranger in that country; and, concealed~(
10     6|      block the road against the stranger, who~Would break her bounds,
11     6|      LXI~Was never yet beheld a stranger band,~Of mien more hideous,
12     8|     shore has tost!~Who for the stranger damsel prowl about,~Of her
13    11|        for the country knew the stranger knight~As he perused his
14    13|          but to say~Who was the stranger champion I delay;~ ~ XLIII~
15    14|     bearings, which the valiant stranger wore;~Who answered that
16    15|      Alike the native's and the stranger's dread,~Wont even to Cairo'
17    16|         only did the threatened stranger spare,~Who was the lover
18    16|       Was never witnessed yet a stranger dance!~For the Scots only
19    17|   genial bed,~Too soon to be by stranger lords possest.~The matter
20    17|         I cannot say~Who is the stranger, that fell in with me~Journeying
21    17|       That they should cost the stranger knight his head:~Enough
22    19|         but that thither made~A stranger, as it chanced, who lent
23    19|       spite~Swiftly assails the stranger at the door;~And is about
24    19|     LXXV~"I will not henceforth stranger shall complain,~So long
25    20|       Duke Aymon, who~Thither a stranger roved, my mother bore.~And '
26    20|      aye were wont to greet~The stranger) with such hospitable rite~
27    20|      With creek and port, where stranger bark could shun~Foul wind
28    20|         less severe~Against the stranger to these shores conveyed!~
29    20|       and rarely passes day~But stranger wight is slaughtered in
30    20|       XCIII~For so to friend as stranger, noxious are~The powers
31    20|     galloping alone.~If you the stranger's name desire to hear,~I
32    21|          VII~As nearer now, the stranger knight espied~That face,
33    22|         as a prey,~To the first stranger who should pass that way.~ ~
34    22|         And any damsel whom the stranger bore~With him, dismount,
35    23|    fortune hither shall convey,~Stranger or native, -- to this crystal
36    23|       act, so passing dread,~Of stranger folly never shall be said.~ ~
37    25|         When now Rogero and the stranger knight,~Clear of the city-gates,
38    26|     there, among you, one," the stranger cried,~"Will prove upon
39    26|      and Pity sway."~He to that stranger next the reason shows~Why
40    26|          meseems, may crave the stranger's name,~Who thus the champions
41    26|        stoled,~For Saracens the stranger band they knew;~And they
42    26| Spurring with flowing rein, the stranger knight.~Against the tempered
43    27|       Valerio was the name that stranger bore;~A name I shall remember
44    28|         day~And every hour, the stranger youth he sees,~Studious
45    31|       vizor's sight offends~The stranger champion, of the sable weed,~
46    31| interrupt his rapid course:~The stranger's broke his spine and shoulder-blade;~
47    31|       source~Of my regret" (the stranger knight replied);~"But I,
48    31|         with praise replied~The stranger peer; alighting on the plain,~
49    31|   revolving weighed~Who was the stranger knight, so passing stout;~
50    31|      took no stain.~ ~ XXIV~The stranger knight, upon the other side,~
51    31|       For Montalbano's lord the stranger guest,~The baron recognised,
52    31|      like his father deemed the stranger knight.~ ~ XXXV~I will not
53    31|         Flordelice was she, the stranger dame;~That his own self
54    32|       kept his bed:~And had the stranger here but closed his news,~
55    32|      And so, repeating what the stranger said,~To such a pitcher
56    32|         beside~Demanded who the stranger dame might be?~"That lady
57    32|        there be room within, to stranger knight~The castellain gives
58    32|     arms and fight~He must what stranger thither shall repair;~And
59    32|     style,~She renders back the stranger's courtesy;~Rises to welcome
60    32|       determined in his mind~No stranger in his keep should ever
61    33|          And sought to kiss the stranger's feet in vain.~ ~ CXVII~"
62    35|      let the stripling know the stranger knight,~Without the walls,
63    36|         huge desire to meet the stranger wight,~And armed withal (
64    36|    first that champion with the stranger vies;~Thinks to prevent
65    37|      alone;~But worse by him to stranger dame is done.~ ~ XLII~"If
66    37| paternal style,~(Since they the stranger loved; and loathers were~
67    40|    spies,~But knows not who the stranger cavalier:~He marks how,
68    40|         made demand; and in the stranger knew~Dudon, the Danish Ogier'
69    42|        crest, a broken yoke the stranger wore;~Red flames upon his
70    42|      monster's hands.~ ~ LV~The stranger horseman, like a warrior
71    42|     from his croup.~Arrived the stranger smote her in the flank,~
72    42|     rugged height.~ ~ LVIII~The stranger, when he to her dark retreat~
73    42|     prowess evermore.~ ~ LX~The stranger answered: "Let it irk not
74    42|   draught,~Raising his head the stranger knight espied,~And saw that
75    42|    please~A wight" (pursued the stranger) "that is wed."~Rinaldo,
76    46|      Leo with amaze~When he the stranger for Rogero knows,~With lips
77    46|     bride's possession with the stranger knight,~Lest he, as undefended,
78    46|   disclosed to view,~She in the stranger knight Rogero knew;~ ~ LX~
79    46|         hear~The purpose of the stranger cavalier.~ ~ CV~To Charles
