 1     1|       and fears;~And he to her a lover's service paid,~Now well
 2     1|        that full bliss by pining lover sought.~To keep the king
 3     2|       thenceforth she sought her lover (he~Was named of him to
 4     2|         Would with the cherished lover share his jail.~ ~ LXVI~
 5     4|        to a gallery she updrew~A lover, seen by him, at dead of
 6     4|         fire,~Because she with a lover's wish complied,~And quenched
 7     4|        tale of shame;~If she her lover blessed I little heed:~For
 8     5|          air.~Here oft I made my lover climb to me,~And (what he
 9     5|     merits to instil:~And for my lover with all labour strain,~
10     5|            And still the more my lover's suit I stirred,~And to
11     5|        before.~ ~ XX~"My wayward lover often I excite~So vain and
12     5|         figure what the wretched lover's woe,~When Polinesso climbed
13     5|       die.~ ~ LXIV~" `He was her lover; and for his intent~Was
14     6|         care;~She left her every lover; for before,~Others, in
15     8|       overflows,~That ever happy lover did content:~But, lo! this
16     8|     LXXXII~Meanwhile the unhappy lover lost the dame~In that dim
17     9|        such the name my faithful lover bore,~When Friesland's king,
18     9|          vow,~Which to my gentle lover I had plight;~Nor though
19    10|     perfidy,~And let none make a lover's word her creed.~Mindless
20    10|         things hear and see,~The lover, eager his desires to speed,~
21    10|         love; for you, without~A lover, like uncultivated vine,~
22    10|     tranquil breast~(Knowing her lover was beside her laid)~No
23    10|    sleeps more sound.~ ~ XIX~The lover false, who, hatching treason
24    10|     given the chalice dread,~Her lover's final guerdon evermore.~
25    10|      repossess, ~As thought, her lover flying from her shore,~But
26    14|       began~To hear, and her new lover's reasons scan.~ ~ LX~Next
27    16|         He nigh Damascus met the lover, who~Perfidious Origilla'
28    16|         and shame;~And knows her lover has not force and breath~
29    16|      stranger spare,~Who was the lover of that lady gay;~But deemed
30    17| lamenting sore,~Ever the unhappy lover might survey;~What time
31    17|        scorned crest.~But of the lover, and that courtezan,~He,
32    18|         show;~And, till her aged lover, once so dear,~Aurora roused,
33    19|         bracelet gave:~Roland, a lover, deigned the gorgeous fee~
34    22|           To solace her desiring lover's pain,~So that her honour
35    22|          day remains~To save the lover from his cruel pains.~ ~
36    22|        shown;~As anxious for the lover, it appears,~As if he were
37    23|          case,~That Roland was a lover of the maid;~So past from
38    23|     youth unhelmed, she sees her lover's front,~And pale with sudden
39    23|          cast her arms about her lover dear;~And not a word could
40    24|      knew;~And deemed he was her lover and her lord,~That pricked
41    24|       bound in trace~Of her lost lover's footsteps, sought that
42    24|          keeping the command her lover gave;~But that a hermit,
43    25|       heart incline:~The unhappy lover fruitlessly had thought~
44    26|         such contracts base,~And lover could his lady change away,~
45    27|   jealousy, at heart, aggrieved~(Lover ne'er suffered worse) to
46    27|      dame,~Her will the restless lover surely find:~Nor her nor
47    29|      mostly when~These from some lover's quarrel take their date.~
48    29|         every road~And place her lover seeks in anxious wise,~Excepting
49    30|         piteous wise,~Hoping her lover's anger to allay;~And Mandricardo,
50    30|   although she moan,~And for her lover, cold and pale, complain,~
51    31|       love to wear?~Were not the lover, 'mid his joys, distrest~
52    31|          pleasures,~The wretched lover ill his comfort measures.~ ~
53    31|      Inflicted with such ease on lover's breast,~No less by false
54    31|          crew,~Of Flordelice the lover chaste and true;~ ~ LX~Whom
55    31|        by her words, he lent her lover aid,~So by his courser in
56    31|       aid,~And free her prisoned lover from the Moor;~After she
57    32|       love,~Nor me will have for lover or for slave.~The cruel
58    32|         rise~From the distracted lover's brimming eyes.~ ~ XXI~"

61    34|         hung in air, could see~A lover vest by her barbarities.~
62    34|          have prayed,~That he my lover should have made his son;~
63    34|         I implore)~I exercise my lover still in strife,~With the
