Canto

 1   Int|        Renaissance Italy (it is worth noting that the Estes where
 2     1|         lend a willing ear,~The worth and warlike feats I shall
 3     1|         the prize,~Forfeits her worth in every other's eyes.~ ~
 4     1|         The other knight, whose worth I rate as high,~His warlike
 5     2|       And horse and maid, whose worth outstrips belief,~Were ill,
 6     2|          trusting in her single worth.~She having made the king
 7     3|       should I seek at full its worth to blaze,~Not mine were
 8     3|     large the puissant acts and worth,~And name of each who, figured
 9     3|  XXXVIII~"In good Rinaldo equal worth shall shine,~(Such is the
10     3|        captains of the land~His worth shall class; such fame his
11     3|         others he transcends in worth.~I see this captain, ill
12     4|       if you would your warlike worth assay,~Prepare the worthiest
13     5|        realm, was none of equal worth.~ ~ XIV~"Me he persuades,
14     5|     Then added, how he hoped by worth, which he~Had more than
15     5| cavalier,~Proving his matchless worth with spear and mace;~For
16     7|      her relation;~To this, her worth commends with fitting praise,~
17     9|      bold~Appear to vouch, such worth to you belong;~And you believe
18     9|   embassy;~But he, who knightly worth or courteous lore~Had never
19    11|        much, esteemed above~Its worth, as given him by his lady
20    11|        art:~And at such ebb are worth and chivalry,~That the base
21    11|        blade.~Misjudging of his worth, the foolish race~Deemed
22    12|         Orlando made his mighty worth appear.~ ~ LXIX~Two squadrons
23    13|      led;~Who thus the seeds of worth in early days,~To bloom
24    14|        glorified above the rest~Worth in the Syrian fairy's castle
25    14|          that men their martial worth may know.~ ~ CXIV~With crimson
26    15|          And for his prisoners' worth has little care.~Then, having
27    15|         as a cavalier~Of mighty worth, and make him goodly cheer.~ ~
28    16|      One and the other host its worth, before~Charles and king
29    16|    prest.~More certain proof of worth, when warriors close,~There
30    17|         An evil use to make our worth appear:~Then questioned
31    17|          And over and above his worth, before~All others, hold
32    18|        art,~Since not alone thy worth deserves this fee,~But merits,
33    18|     virgin's name,~And such her worth, she oft with naked brand~
34    18| experiment, if they indeed~Such worth as is by Rumour voiced display.~
35    20|     those that never knew~Their worth, have haply hid their honours
36    20|      shall, by much, Marphisa's worth outgo.~ ~ IV~To her returning
37    20|         s son,~Of beauty and of worth example rare,~Now grieved
38    21|        and misbecame~One of his worth and honourable fame.~ ~
39    23|        the deities~The manners, worth, and beauty be possessed.~"
40    23|     first sight~A baron of high worth esteemed the knight,~ ~
41    23|     plainly wouldst appear,~Thy worth conspicuous in thy haughty
42    23|         tiny fragments sped.~Wo worth each sapling and the caverned
43    24| transitory,~Fleeting, of little worth, and quickly spent;~And
44    24|      two infidels, unmatched in worth,~The valiant heart and strength,
45    25|         Are witnesses of little worth and light.~-- This, as it
46    26|        delight;~But in Rogero's worth, excelling spirit,~In his
47    26|       not have shown a Hector's worth as well,~Having two such
48    26|        all the rest,~Wanting in worth, will many make appear~Who
49    26|        in her heart~Bore of his worth the image so imprest;~--
50    26|         Rodomont, whose martial worth~Scatters its splendour through
51    26|      those two couples of whose worth I sing.~ ~
52    27|        because less endued~With worth than Mandricardo I appear;~
53    30|      whip his ears between.~Woe worth him! he must founder by
54    30|     kindled be?~ ~  XXXIII~"Woe worth me! I was proud, with little
55    31|        beloved, and love, whose worth~I prize above all dwellers'
56    32|     season, which shall pass in worth~The mightiest race that
57    32|         it on the knight, whose worth~Is, in his judgment, fairest
58    32|        LXXXIX~"Though she small worth in Tristram's sight possess,~
59    33|    noble warrior, unexcelled in worth~By other, that has yet appeared
60    33|         When through Alphonso's worth the Spaniards yield,~And
61    34|      the journey made~To wit or worth; nor through your winged
62    36|  reveres and lauds his father's worth,~He even deems him one unmatched
63    37|       so blest,~(Blest with all worth, which in this earthly round~
64    42|     country, honour, charms and worth.~ ~ LXXXVI~One was Elizabeth,
65    43|         Who (from their lovers' worth and charms secure)~Against
66    43|    Bartered her chastity, whose worth alone~Excels what gold earth'
67    43|         see~My gentle consort's worth and faithfulness.~'Leave
68    44|       warmth the praises of her worth inspired,~With love of her
69    44|         peer,~"Witnesses of his worth our squadrons are,~They
70    44|     ever to fulfil?~ ~ XLII~"Wo worth the while! and shall I then
71    44|      may,~Dexterity or prowess, worth, or wit,~Or goodness --
72    44|       me~The boon wherewith thy worth I should requite"~(Charles
73    44|    praise that peer and own his worth in arms.~ ~ XC~He knew full
74    45|         thy wit pourtrayed,~And worth, of all so bruited, that
75    45|        aid,~And not to let such worth be overlaid.~ ~ XLII~The
