Canto

 1     1|     strain of Roland will I tell~Things unattempted yet in prose
 2     1|        Is to give ready faith to things which please.~ ~ LVII~"If
 3     2|        the world, discolours all things fair.~What I beheld, I say;
 4     6|       chastity,~Wisely on better things has set her heart.~Hence,
 5     7|       From his own country, sees things strange and new;~That the
 6     7|       might the observing eye of things concealed~Conjecture safely,
 7     7|          are mixed.~ ~ XXX~These things were carried closely by
 8     7|          brings such hate,~As on things horrible is wont to wait;~ ~
 9     8|         of such passing power in things below?~That thou shouldst
10    10|       Mindless that God does all things hear and see,~The lover,
11    10|        to see: for ill her eyes,~Things through the air, yet dim
12    11|      pinnace overboard,~With all things that befitted his design:~
13    11|        shield~And spear achieved things worthy to be shown,~I ween;
14    12|            We sometimes think of things unwished before:~Such wish
15    12|       speak, who first have many things to say;~Nor shall to the
16    13|    Ulysses placed.~ ~ LXI~"Great things and many thus I sum in few~
17    13|          it appears that, in the things I tell,~The wider here and
18    14|          Alphonso, we~May modern things with ancient deeds compare,~
19    15|         shields.~ ~ VIII~But all things counter to the hopes ensue~
20    15|     fortified~With counsel as to things too long to say;~And that
21    15|          ill-discerned, were all things hid from sight;~When to
22    16|       Though flames demolish all things far and wide,~This ill appears
23    17|     cruel sorrow.~ ~ LXVIII~"The things related I in part descried,~
24    18|     manage of the brand,~And all things appertaining to the gray.~
25    18|        Rampart and mine, and all things requisite;~Visits his outposts
26    19|        knows, by whom all hidden things are spied.~Thou and thy
27    20|        proved,~Above all dearest things they were beloved.~ ~ XVII~"
28    22|      joyous be~Than this; of all things fortunate the best:~In that
29    23|           XXXII~Of many and many things, whereof to treat~With good
30    25|         self, the puissantest of things.'~ ~ XXXVIII~"So grieves
31    25|           having thought on many things, in the end~Resolves on
32    25|    wholly yours for life, in all things, rest."~ ~ XCII~Rogero is
33    26|          Says of Rogero wondrous things, which you~Hearing related,
34    26|           They, 'mid more costly things in plenty spread --~Discovered
35    26|        made, enchanter sage;~Who things to come upon the marble
36    28|      hear~The sottish rabble all things rashly brand,~And question
37    28|    history~He turned; and, "Many things we have been told"~(Exclaimed
38    29|       and chaste and holy name,~(Things hardly known, and foreign
39    30|              XVII~To say so many things I am intent,~I mean not
40    31|          From whom more wondrous things he had received,~Nor this,
41    31|        His setting out, when all things were obscure.~Scaping the
42    32|          evolving in her thought~Things that may chance, she finally
43    32|          shall be,~And do in all things, as he shall command.~But
44    33|       years ago in honour stood,~Things which had been with matchless
45    33|      heard or pictures viewed~Of things to come; yet such have been
46    33|          with sight as clear~The things to be, as things that whilom
47    33|       clear~The things to be, as things that whilom were,~'Tis said,
48    33|         I lead you further other things to see,~I'll tell what my
49    33|      mount,~Heard him relate the things I now recount.~ ~ XXVII~"
50    33|      tale, as having left untold~Things first in order; next to
51    33|       Why vex yourself, and deem~Things real which are hollow and
52    34|      Constraining me to tell the things ye seek;~Though 'tis annoyance
53    34|     sovereign, far and near,~All things (so said the knight) he
54    34|          well have died;~But all things happily with him succeed:~
55    34|          Collected there are all things whatsoe'er,~Lost through
56    34|       women! -- he explored.~The things he witnessed, to recount
57    36|          more sure they hold~The things whereof the wizard's spirit
58    36|        be ye content:~For better things I promise to report,~If
59    37|        to this attends:~She many things revolves, accepts, puts
60    38|         A heap of stones. O what things may he do~That in the Saviour
61    38|         But she, that ever, when things adverse were,~With faithful
62    39|       board --~With arms and all things needful were purveyed.~His
63    39|         whom he prized above all things beside;~And clipt and welcomed
64    40|      what is vouched to me,~Such things you saw, such things made
65    40|        Such things you saw, such things made others see.~ ~ II~Your
66    40|        shallop ill defended,~The things about them all descried
67    40|     Brigliador and some precious things, to flee;~And so, twixt
68    40|        Rapes and a thousand evil things were done.~Of much, and
69    41|        God's kingdom now;~Now of things appertaining to his case;~
70    43|          time the sage of future things divined,~Whereof with him
71    43|          was reinforced,~Of many things amid themselves discoursed;~ ~
72    44|         the planet, whither flit~Things lost on earth, of sound
73    44|          she said?"~ ~ LIX~These things Rogero said, and more beside,~
74    45| Bradamant will be.~ ~ LV~But two things must he do; must, first,
75    45|       spirit dispossess.~For all things can he better bear than
76    45|      Greek no wed."~ ~ CII~These things and more beside the damsel
77    46|         son -- although~In other things outdone -- he will not be~
78    46|          to shew~That these were things hereafter to befall.~Those
