Canto

 1     2|        where he stood,~Fearing lest she might lose him in the
 2     3|       beside.~And on her head, lest spirit should invade,~A
 3     3|        as dead.~ ~ LXVIII~"And lest to shut thine eyes, thou
 4     4|      but further hint forbore;~Lest dearly he the avowed should
 5     4|      still, and watching sore,~Lest upon her the wizard should
 6     4|    Frontino threw.~ ~ XLIX~And lest the courser should become
 7     6|   flowers among,~But held him, lest he should remount the air:~
 8     6|    before, the horse bestride,~Lest he should bear him off against
 9     6| purpose every nerve to strain,~Lest empire over him Alcina gain.~ ~
10     7|  finger she~Withdrew the ring, lest it should mar the spell:~
11     7|      accoutred cap-a-pee.~And, lest Alcina should his end explore,~
12     8|     eve his sally would delay.~Lest she should hinder his design,
13     9|     The helmsman kept the sea, lest she should run~Aground,
14     9|       yield my city up and me,~Lest all be lost through my obduracy.~ ~
15    10|      and either pinion clangs,~Lest it should turn and wound
16    10|      And on her little finger, lest a new~Mischance should follow,
17    10|        Angelica; for he~Feared lest the buckler's light should
18    11|     and thus himself defended,~Lest a two-handed mace upon his
19    11|       works the roof suspends,~Lest sudden ruin whelm him from
20    11|    First from the injured god, lest worse ensue;~And Proteus
21    12|      through uncertain way,~-- Lest peradventure she be hidden
22    13|      the magic dome more nigh,~Lest her the false magician should
23    14| account of any one,~Or fearing lest, should he reveal his thought,~
24    15|        not without great heed,~Lest he into the covert snare
25    15|       good serjeants overseen,~Lest he by night get loose, and
26    16|   dedicate to heavenly spouse,~Lest this day frustrate see their
27    17|   their sex; not tremble, you,~Lest he the women slay: the others'
28    17|        love of Heaven, my son, lest thee~The monster smell,
29    17|        before the opened lair,~Lest with the herd we issued
30    18|        feared in their alarms,~Lest o'er the wall Sir Gryphon
31    18|      should remove.~This done: lest he should follow on our
32    18|       I to sacrifice?~Do thou, lest any one this way be led,~
33    18|      would fain be clear;~But, lest his being heard should bring
34    19|      dangerous 'twas to doubt; lest hostile band~Should sally
35    20|  turned to teeming wives began~Lest they in time so many males
36    20|      prove the warrior's hand;~Lest, to our loss, the election
37    20|       had flown,~Still fearing lest her visage should be known.~ ~
38    21| violence has done,~And fearing lest I all to thee relate,~Without
39    21|   thinking what were best.~He, lest more doubt of him be entertained,~
40    22|  constrained to veer outright,~Lest by the billows swampt his
41    22|     with speed.~But haste you, lest too tardy be our aid,~And
42    22|      interruption of the road,~Lest they, through this, should
43    23|     and hung his head,~In fear lest he the assassin should be
44    27|     Doralice to fare:~A third, lest they their enterprize forego,~
45    28|     not the force~To wake her, lest to know her guilt surveyed,~
46    28|        lets the youth be seen,~Lest him the king of little wit
47    28|    Madonna, is the groom,~Nor, lest he lose a doit, his paltry
48    28|     mournful dame to stay,~And lest she quit her course, prepared
49    29|  shield and mail,~That hermit, lest she from the better road~
50    29|        with rare virtue blest;~Lest haply thou shouldst harbour
51    30|     cut the quarrel short, and lest delay~Be further interposed,
52    31|      art a valiant knight,~And lest thou umbrage take at mine
53    32|        let me tell my sorrows, lest they move~Him his perverse
54    32|        fence and guard myself, lest bearing high,~Wise words,
55    32| cleanses not the heart;~Beware lest thou beneath such vengeance
56    37|    assay;~For, besides fearing lest Marphisa yearn~To execute
57    37|     execute more vengeance, -- lest she say,~-- She one and
58    37|   wicked tyrant Marganor:~She, lest he any how, in evil hour,~
59    38|     pursue your quest, I dread~Lest not a fourth nor fifth will
60    40|    goads no less the cavalier;~Lest, if he now from Agramant
61    41|        life Sobrino lies;~And, lest Gradasso to ill pass and
62    43| himself; and, for her view,~-- Lest lights should lack, whereby
63    44|       to save~Their squadrons, lest the dusty whirlwind fly;~
64    44|     afflicts himself, in dread~Lest for the Grecian prince she
65    44|     nor build a tower,~In fear lest any rob thee of that power.~ ~
66    44|      is royal Leo flown;~Haply lest him from this the foe divide:~
67    45|       and gates on every side;~Lest, from the Bulgar squadrons
68    45|      she doth not dare~Demand, lest more suspicion thence be
69    45|  Return to me, return, Rogero, lest~My hope by fear should wholly
70    45|    faulchion's tempered grain,~Lest it his opposite should cleave
71    46|       trouble at his hand;~And lest he should his wish for death
72    46|      with the stranger knight,~Lest he, as undefended, be opprest,~
73    46|  holding Fortune by the front,~Lest he should rise, with one
