Canto

 1     1|     speechless; such remorse the words infuse.~Then by Lanfusa'
 2     1|       bears away the fruit?~Bare words and looks scarce cheered
 3     1|        doleful case:~Hence, into words his lamentations run,~Which
 4     1|          the grief and tears~And words of him, whose passion never
 5     3|        Who will afford befitting words, and lend~Wings to my verse,
 6     5|        rage possessed,~Injurious words and foul reproach are said?~
 7     5|         ears~Had these, or other words like these, addressed;~(
 8     5|    passion, which with hopes and words is fed;~And, more than this,
 9     5|        surmises,~Vain, worthless words, or idle promise bred.~And
10     5|    bewildered tone,~The last sad words which Ariodantes said; --~
11     6|        ready fish obey~By simple words and by mere magic lore:~
12     9|    perform no more,~Me with vain words instead of help have paid,~
13     9|      guard delay~The knight with words, till horse and foot he
14    12|          receive!"~ ~  XVI~These words repeated once, and yet again,~
15    12|     behold, is bare,~If thy late words were ill or wisely said,~
16    14|          be loved."~ ~ LIX~These words, and many others on his
17    17|    joined to mocks and mows, and words of shame,~The warrior they
18    19|       with grace, preferred,~And words -- to move a mountain, and
19    20|      displaid,~In his despairing words and woful mien,~For such
20    22|      surely know,~These for mere words as little will forego.~ ~
21    22|        in vain~Waste you so many words, where fruit is none?~I
22    23|          of eyes!"~ ~ VIII~These words and others she in mournful
23    23|         grot surveyed~A cloud of words, which seemed but newly
24    24|          on collecting, as these words she said;~And while yet
25    24|     LXXXV~I think not these last words of Scotland's knight~Were
26    24|      warriors were so near,~That words could be exchanged between
27    24|           who threatens me -- by words unscared.~Woman, or child,
28    25|        dame,~By slow degrees, in words and amorous wise,~Showed
29    25|              XCII~Rogero is such words his thoughts exposed,~Which
30    26|          fury waxed, and angrier words ensued,~Now upon this and
31    27|          certified~By them whose words would warrant well belief:~
32    27|        proceed to ribaldry,~From words to blows; and through their
33    28|       more:~So here I close, nor words will idly spend,~Admonished
34    29|      dearest hope;~With all such words as have that common scope.~ ~
35    29|         adrift~Have launched the words I spake, in random guise,~--
36    30|      Cries Agramant) and further words forbear.~How Fortune rules
37    30|              XXXVII~Accompanying words with tears and sighs,~In
38    30|          said~The lady these sad words, and more beside,~Lamenting
39    30|          comfort that Hippalca's words convey,~And Hope, companion
40    31|       obey,~So these he bound by words and courtesies,~And sharing
41    31|     breast.~ ~ LXXV~Moved by her words, he lent her lover aid,~
42    31|         side, and here~In simple words what chanced Rinaldo shews;~
43    32|          lest bearing high,~Wise words, and beauty rare should
44    32|         me my destiny entrained,~Words, worthy credence, moved
45    32|       ensue.~If these persuasive words were false and feigned,~
46    32|        supplies~Rogero's parting words to her addrest;~So makes
47    32|       sight.~Her with thy honied words thou might'st have won,~
48    32|      side,~With these persuasive words her fury charmed:~"O lady,
49    32|         signs replied~As well as words, and pointed with his hand~
50    34|      favour to obtain,~Forces my words from me in my despite,~Constraining
51    34|             XXX~"With these, and words like these, I moved the
52    34|           It urged them from ill words to worser deed:~Upon the
53    35|               XL~With these last words a sigh that damsel drew,~
54    35|        spending life itself, not words alone,~Should weary in your
55    36|    inclined."~Marphisa, at these words, was heard to groan,~As
56    36| obligations he is tied~In moving words relates the cavalier;~Nor
57    37|       plainer were the plaintive words they heard:~When in a valley
58    37|         to the strangers, in few words, but bold,~The wicked custom
59    38|      front was sign.~As his last words, that he received the maid~
60    38|      council prest,~And in these words the Moorish king addrest:~ ~
61    38|              LII~"I speak, these words to show that what whilere~
62    40|        slain,~But that Sobrino's words his arm restrain.~ ~ XXXVII~"
63    40|         XL~In such and such like words, with wary art,~With hope
64    41|          Nor Bradamant with idle words again~To cheat, but bring
65    43|               XXVII~"I with such words and such-like words was
66    43|         such words and such-like words was plied,~Till so on me
67    43|              XXXIX~"Me my wife's words like poisoned weapon thrill,~
68    43|         silence in the following words.~ ~ XCVII~"Albeit thou know'
69    44|         She to Rogero bade these words convey.~ ~ LXI~"Rogero,
70    44|             LXVII~Other and many words with comfort rife,~And full
71    44|         But little him Rinaldo's words molest;~Who by the maid
72    45|          or alive."~ ~ XCI~These words he said and many more, with
73    45|        in her view,~Spoken those words, which they that marry swear;~
74    45|     knight.~ ~ CVIII~For if such words have pass'd between the
75    46|        XXX~Him with the sweetest words young Leo plied,~And with
76    46|         Yet twice or thrice, ere words could find their way.~ ~
77    46|        sorrow die."~ ~ XLV~These words he spake, and more to that
78    46|     accept; and will maintain~My words against them all in listed
