Canto

 1     1|      the maid,~Enamored of that beauty rare; since she~Alike the
 2     1|      with man or heaven; bloom, beauty, gone.~The damsel who should
 3     4|       wise behaviour marked and beauty's bloom;~Though her fait
 4     6|          More dames than one my beauty served to warm,~And in conclusion
 5     6|         mien~Embodied Grace and Beauty would be seen.~ ~ LXX~Into
 6     7|   variety~Between, in youth and beauty matched as well:~The fay
 7     7|         Appeared with youth and beauty not her own.~ ~ LXXIV~By
 8     8|    heart with love of that rare beauty glowed,~And to his frozen
 9     8|        ocean, on such sovereign beauty.~ ~ XXXVII~Landward in vain
10     8|      hideous monster's prey~The beauty, for which Agrican did glow,~
11     8|       their fates.~ ~ LXIII~The beauty, by Circassian Sacripant~
12     8|       honour and his crown,~The beauty which made Roland, Brava'
13     8|        judgment and renown,~The beauty which had moved the wide
14     8|      LXV~But such her matchless beauty's power, the maid~Was able
15     8|   purveyed,~Spared such angelic beauty: finally,~The damsel to
16     9|         the Moor;~His youth and beauty, then in manhood's May,~
17    10|     duly witness holy lore,~And beauty infinite and grace enjoy,~
18    11|         bold Rogero's sight her beauty shrowds,~As disappears the
19    13|       in their freshest days~Of beauty worthily deserve the praise.~ ~
20    13|     world and best.~ ~ VIII~"In beauty and in valour's boast above~
21    13|        day to day,~Shall wax in beauty, virtue, chastity,~And fortune,
22    13| distinguished matron shows;~For beauty and for prudence claiming
23    18|     form, and who~Thy sovereign beauty dost in heaven, and hell,~
24    19|       froze:~From day to day in beauty waxed Medore:~She miserably
25    20|        colouring hue,~I by your beauty's kindly charms should dare~(
26    20|         ought.~ ~ LV~"Elbanio's beauty (for so fair to view~Never
27    20|      damsel brought.~Of passing beauty was the lady gay,~But little
28    20|       Zerbino, a king's son,~Of beauty and of worth example rare,~
29    20|    heart.~Thou wilt not own her beauty; a device~Put on to masque
30    20|      thee present,~And the more beauty is in her descried,~The
31    23|         The manners, worth, and beauty be possessed.~"No better
32    25|       or herd.~Woman to woman's beauty still is blind;~Nor ewe
33    28|  purveyed,~Few e'er with him in beauty could compare:~Such scarce
34    28|         to each other wight,~He beauty was throughout the world
35    28|         or near,~He any of such beauty had espied,~To him thus
36    28|      one,~Few are there that in beauty rival thee;~And rather I
37    28|      alone,~Thou leavest all in beauty far behind;~But I in him
38    28|        makes of fair array;~For beauty borrows grace from glorious
39    28|           Nor even remains (his beauty so is fled)~Enough to warrant
40    30|   enjoyed, his rival spent,~The beauty, left in Europe without
41    30|        discourse,~For might and beauty voiced, Marphisa's praise;~
42    32|   bearing high,~Wise words, and beauty rare should pleasure me?~
43    32|      wrong and sore,~If so such beauty I should shut the door.~ ~
44    32|    kings outweighed,~No less in beauty she surpassed the maid.~ ~
45    32|        visage read;~But that in beauty I am not her peer:~Not therefore,
46    32|     that the dame~Who yields in beauty, from your tower must wend,~
47    32|       the game,~If she and I in beauty should contend:~For if such
48    34|         of the two,~My pride of beauty, could to thee declare.~
49    36|         stream;~Whose years and beauty might have pity bred~In
50    41|         the Child, in might and beauty grown,~That, like his sire,
51    42|        fillets drew~So much her beauty as the magic spell.~In peace
52    42|     thousand times refused such beauty rare;~And such sweet joy
53    42|        beam with genius or with beauty more.~"He that would speak --
54    43|       form supplied;~So that in beauty rival had I none.~Enamoured
55    43|       more than one:~For I with beauty coupled winning ways;~Though
56    43|     daughter, that in sovereign beauty grew;~Nor suffered her to
57    43|       XIX~"With genius high and beauty no less bright,~Which might
58    43|        Should with contempt the beauty have eschewed~Of that famed
59    43|      city of such amplitude~And beauty such a petty burgh should
60    43|      Ulpian: he of honest fame,~Beauty, and state assorting with
61    43|         crowned~With superhuman beauty, one he found.~ ~  LXXIII~"
62    43|          She seems all love and beauty; and much more~Perchance
63    43|         to fail,~ ~ LXXXIV~"Nor beauty, to his wife the husband
64    43|    prayer shall soften her, nor beauty fire:~Corrupted will she
65    44|      other's share:~In that, no beauty with his beauty vies;~In
66    44|        that, no beauty with his beauty vies;~In that, resistance
67    44|    esteem, ungraced with it,~Be beauty or be daring what it may,~
68    44|         silly vulgar train;~Nor beauty, puissant with the weak
69    44|  splinter, ere he may~Another's beauty in its core enlay."~ ~ LXVII~
70    46|        whose name~For grace and beauty most is noised by Fame;~ ~
71    46|        her, her sister dims all beauty, where~Her radiance shines.
