Canto

 1   Int| Bradamante-Ruggiero story that eventually takes center stage in Ariosto'
 2     1|               spring flowers descends~And takes the bridle from her courser
 3     1|              LXXVI~With her left hand she takes him by the bit,~And with
 4     2|                  the king would urge him, takes the rest,~Or, when he curbs
 5     4|                low or high~Her state, who takes a man into her bed,~Except
 6     7|                  Rogero cries;~A lance he takes, and threats her and defies.~ ~
 7     8|                choose one side,~The other takes, and seems to slight the
 8     9|                 And all the women that it takes, for food~To a voracious
 9     9|            troubled sprite,~Now willingly takes counsel with his hate,~To
10    10|                the noon's intensest glow,~Takes by the shore: the burning
11    10|             thence departs; but as before~Takes not the way he took in his
12    11|               life:~Her afterwards Oberto takes to wife.~ ~ ~ I~Although
13    11|                   not wait for new alarm,~Takes the half-lifeless lady in
14    11|                  Anchor and cable next he takes in hold,~And waits the foe
15    11|                 his guilt.~ ~ LXXX~Oberto takes to wife Olympia fair,~And
16    12|                  womb~Of the full mother, takes its early food;~And hence
17    15|                 cruel horrors he intends,~Takes pleasure in a net, by cunning
18    15|                    This sometimes Gryphon takes, and whirled through air,~
19    16|                   without more dispute he takes a horse~Of those, who masterless,
20    17|               softly, 'twixt two bridges, takes the peer;~And him detains,
21    18|           presence warms,~That each again takes courage, each takes arms.~ ~
22    18|                 again takes courage, each takes arms.~ ~ XIV~As when within
23    18|                goes,~Upon a little bridge takes up his ground,~That him
24    18|               ruler set:~He with the duke takes up his load, to steer~Thither,
25    18|                   And without more regard takes down the prize.~ ~ CXI~And
26    18|                    Because he of his life takes any thought;~Of which loathed
27    19|                  oak, elm, beech, ash, he takes his ground,~Nor from the
28    19|               that beauteous face survey,~Takes pity on the boy, and does
29    19|                Ready for cruel fight, she takes the field.~ ~ LXXVI~High
30    19|                   the best,~And the other takes himself: the martial pair~
31    20|               heart a constant sting,~And takes away the taste of every
32    20|                   to obey the knight.~She takes a ship and arms the bark
33    21|                distraught by two designs,~Takes what he pregnant with least
34    22|               self-colloquy,~Dismounting, takes a large and heavy stone;~
35    23|                  freed, Frontino Rodomont~Takes from Hippalca, trusted to
36    23|        approaching day.~In haste, Orlando takes his arms and steed,~And
37    24|                   gladly to the pine, and takes the sword.~ ~  LIX~"None
38    26|                earnest suit complies;~Who takes farewell of that good company,~
39    26|              Malagigi he and Viviane~Next takes farewell and wounded Aldigier;~
40    27|                  charge.~ ~ XII~Within he takes a day or two's repose;~And,
41    27|            serjeants only for his service takes,~And with that pair the
42    31|                  to perfection grows,~And takes a finer edge; to drink and
43    31|              gorgeously embossed,~Rinaldo takes, with tempered sword and
44    31|                 lightly on his steed,~And takes his way beneath the lady'
45    31|                   tale he should receive,~Takes in good part the bold Rinaldo'
46    32|                sewer, with grief the cook takes heed,~How on the table cools
47    33|                 quells Astolpho, and that takes his heir,~And re-establishes
48    33|             pressed.~Who Liris fords, and takes all Naples' reign,~Yet draws
49    33|                 pretence.~ ~ XLIV~"Lo! he takes Milan, in the league's despite:~
50    33|                   terror fly the land.~He takes the reins, his courser backs
51    34|                   s wasted wit as well he takes,~Sees the Fates spin their
52    35|               Lethean river makes repair;~Takes from those swans their burden,
53    35|               girds his goodly brand,~And takes upon the bridge his wonted
54    35|             courtesy to him of Spain.~"He takes him not, although he may
55    37|                   fierce revenge Marphisa takes: a new~Statute that maid
56    37|                   unsuspecting youth, who takes no heed~What nuptials, ordered
57    38|              ensuing day;~And Charlemagne takes care himself to see~That
58    40|                 in the haven were.~Rogero takes the road, when his hope
59    42|                   wilfulness -- which aye takes part~With our weak senses --
60    42|                  still was led,~His offer takes, and enters a new road,~
61    43|                 the dame~What to remember takes my life away:~She with my
62    43|                 of the right horn~Rinaldo takes; and hid are roof and wall:~
63    43|                    Won by his prayers, he takes the time o' the day;~Figures
64    43|                   wheels:~Ice at our word takes fire, and fire congeals.~ ~
65    43|                     CXLIX~Since here none takes his rein, Rinaldo bends~
66    43|               That one thing from another takes its rise,~Roland and Olivier
