Canto

 1     1|    This was that Paladin, good Aymon's seed,~Who Mount Albano
 2     1|     foot the Spaniard left not Aymon's son;~But him to mount
 3     1|      For she in him the son of Aymon eyes.~Her more than life
 4     2|     From Beatrix and good Duke Aymon sprung.~By daring deeds
 5     3|      XIII~The daughter of Duke Aymon stood aghast,~And silent
 6     3|     drop and then divide.~Duke Aymon's child, who slumbers not
 7     7| straight pursue,~Where she met Aymon's daughter by the way~Forlorn
 8     8|       guide,~Such honor did to Aymon's valiant son,~He not with
 9    13|       Who pent her there. Duke Aymon's daughter goes,~Seeking
10    13|        beaten path away;~-- Of Aymon's daughter, -- whom I left
11    16|        art he wars,~The son of Aymon, rather son of Mars.~ ~
12    20|       to the far-renowned Duke Aymon, who~Thither a stranger
13    20|       The issue of his kinsman Aymon's bed.~ ~ LXVI~Then cried: "
14    22|        the knight,~Her of Duke Aymon through fair mean demand;~
15    23|  Heaven had, in its care,~Duke Aymon's daughter for this pleasure
16    23|       was slain.~ ~ XXXIX~Duke Aymon's daughter scarce had turned
17    26|  aright~For this did good Duke Aymon's daughter merit~To be beloved
18    26|      XIII~Nor Buovo's nor Duke Aymon's valiant son~Can hold,
19    27|     And. like Orlando and Duke Aymon's son,~Had faithful Brandimart
20    30|      Had by his deeds ennobled Aymon's blood,~One day at noon,
21    30|            XCIV~Guichard, Duke Aymon's eldest born, and they,~
22    31|      seed and good~Of generous Aymon, as ye likewise are.~To
23    32|      This while does good duke Aymon's daughter mourn,~Because
24    32|         The third (unhorsed by Aymon's beauteous daughter)~Half
25    32|     upon examination due,~Cry, Aymon's daughter best deserves
26    32|         First of the set, Duke Aymon's daughter rose,~And next
27    33|      when her bed~At last Duke Aymon's beauteous daughter prest.~
28    33|     act the maid confest;~Duke Aymon's daughter, loth to be delaid,~
29    33|        the fall of night,~Duke Aymon's daughter, journeying Paris-ward,~
30    35|      authors to the peer.~Duke Aymon's martial daughter in affray,~
31    35|        as much have done."~Her Aymon's daughter thanked in courteous
32    36|       Marphisa at despite~Duke Aymon's daughter wages fierce
33    36|         and thither hied~Where Aymon's daughter on the listed
34    36|       bridal rite.~Her closely Aymon's martial daughter eyed;~
35    36|        avenge the stain.~Cried Aymon's daughter, no less proud
36    36|      the paunch or breast;~But Aymon's watchful daughter turns
37    37| planned the thing whilere~With Aymon's daughter and the youthful
38    38|    future fray~Rogero and Duke Aymon's son prepared;~The choice
39    39|    moment had the fury been~Of Aymon's daughter and the martial
40    39|       with flowing reins,~Whom Aymon's daughter drives with heel
41    42|    from the board~Looked up at Aymon's son; but who this while~
42    43|      show.~But little time has Aymon's warlike son;~Nor idly
43    44|        slaughter,~To whom Duke Aymon had betrothed his daughter.~ ~ ~
44    44|        speed:~King Charles and Aymon will, he hopes, approve,~
45    44|        paladine:~Nor knew that Aymon, with King Charles' consent,~
46    44|     fired.~ ~ XIII~To him hath Aymon answered: he, alone,~Cannot
47    44|       ball.~ ~ XXXV~His son to Aymon on a day made known~His
48    44|   passing good.~ ~  XXXVI~Duke Aymon heard his heir with some
49    44| dictates, do and say?~ ~ XLIV~"Aymon and Beatrice's child, the
50    44|    foot, surmount;~Why would I Aymon should dispose of me,~Rather
51    44|           LII~Rogero said: "If Aymon is disposed~An empress in
52    44|    forfeit crown,~Shall be for Aymon no unworthy son.~ ~ LIII~"
53    44|        that fair;~But should I Aymon slay, or bring some woe~
54    44|        make~Accord withal with Aymon than with me;~And that it
55    44|       the ears of Beatrice and Aymon old;~ ~ LXXII~Who against
56    44|       Charlemagne~Had given to Aymon some few days before,~Built
57    44|      from his hand,~By ancient Aymon's craft his sister spied,~
58    45|        ill.~ ~ XXI~Oh! if Duke Aymon's daughter brave and fair,~
59    45|         Respect to Beatrice or Aymon paid.~ ~ XXII~Meanwhile
60    45|        He that would with Duke Aymon's daughter wed~Must with
61    45|       alike, on foot or horse.~Aymon, who cannot strive against
62    45|      he was gone!~That, seeing Aymon still his wish gainsayed,~
63    45|   Marphisa would maintain;~And Aymon present in the press behold!~--
64    45|      yet, in spite of stubborn Aymon's no,~Bradamant shall Rogero'
65    45|   without despite~Done to Duke Aymon's, give her to the knight.~ ~
66    45|       deceive yourselves (Duke Aymon cried)~For, were the story
67    45|  Rogero's friends,~Who against Aymon, ten to one, divide.~Good
68    46|      off by thee; in that Duke Aymon's love~And favour was engaged
69    46|   prayed~To the obstinate Duke Aymon, not alone~The stubborn
