Canto

 1     2|        of his blood.~ ~ XXXI~I speak of that famed damsel, by
 2     2|      and sad and downcast air,~Speak him the broken victim of
 3     3|       were small protection:~I speak of Pinabel the Maganzeze,~
 4     3|   Italy's long grief to joy;~I speak of the fifth Azo of thy
 5     4|        Whose hair and wrinkles speak him, to her guess,~Of years
 6     6|        confined,~Dost live and speak? And so may never hail~From
 7     6|       magic shield to show,~(I speak of that the necromancer
 8     7|      way,~On all sides did she speak, smile, sing, or move;~No
 9     7|     Sabacan waste;~While so to speak their joys is either fixed,~
10     7|        knew.~ ~ XXXIV~Of her I speak before the royal pair,~Who
11     8|            XXVIII~The prince I speak of, who on Otho's throne~
12     8|   stirred.~ ~ LII~Old stories, speak they falsely or aright,~
13    10|  Alcina in her trouble sore:~I speak of valorous Rogero, who~
14    12|   Angelica I now no more~Shall speak, who first have many things
15    13|        did between us move,~To speak our common wishes frequently,~
16    13|       the world shall ring,~To speak whose separate praise with
17    16|       well am read,~That I can speak of them as 'twere my art.~
18    16|        mind the lady's actions speak,~Her, wheresoe'er she is,
19    16|       the countries round:~Nor speak I only of the nations near;~
20    17|   Christian you would be,~-- I speak to you, that catholic are
21    18|     leave, again of Charles to speak.~ ~ XXXVIII~When, on the
22    18| Relating, as of her he haps to speak,~That towards Antioch she
23    18|     lords reserve the power~To speak the woman's sentence, mild
24    18|     spread before him stand:~I speak of him, who his Baiardo
25    19|       what land.~Thence all to speak their different thoughts,
26    19|      made appear~That he would speak ere their career was run,~
27    20|      other, since 'twas his to speak, begun~With longer preamble: "
28    20|        make the hideous beldam speak.~ ~ CXLIII~At length Zerbino
29    22|      to fear:~I of the buckler speak Atlantes made,~Of whose
30    27|        valiant cousins I would speak:~Of these, Orlando of his
31    27|         I of the good Frontino speak, for whom~Rogero urged with
32    27|        let him stand forth and speak the word;~For I on him will
33    27|       dared before the warrior speak of aught,~Seeing that paynim
34    27|   aright?~That I may hear thee speak with better ease~Sit so,
35    28|      this misfortune, brother, speak;~Since vengeance with more
36    29|      of this mystery,~Of him I speak no further in mine history.~ ~
37    30|   paladin at will to stray!~To speak of him occasion will come
38    30|       longer peace advise,~Nor speak of treaty or of truce anew;~
39    31|  Dordona's every joy!~ ~ VII~I speak not of what fatal mischief
40    31|       brother's bitter blow;~I speak of fell and cruel tidings
41    34|       annoyance and fatigue to speak.~ ~ XI~"Lydia, the child
42    34|         Alcestes, he of whom I speak (so hight~That warrior),
43    34|       restless wheel, I say:~I speak of what it is not in the
44    34|     pray to Heaven for more;~I speak of sense, whereof a lofty
45    35|    worthy cradle be,~Whereof I speak, shall so the heaven ordain.~
46    35|        you recollect; of him~I speak, whose story I erewhile
47    35|    When the just Parcae or (to speak aright)~Venus and Bacchus
48    35|      He cannot, or he will not speak; and lies~On earth, like
49    35|      who that message send,~To speak him ill, and do him courtesy.~
50    35|     that, without the power to speak a word,~He wheeled his courser,
51    36|       way,~And says: "Unless I speak with you I die.~Hear me,
52    38|      she values, or before;~(I speak of one at whom young Cupid
53    38|     cause for boast.~ ~ LII~"I speak, these words to show that
54    38|       my praise upon a foe);~I speak of the redoubted Brandimart,~
55    40|  Learned from their fate; -- I speak to you, my lord --~Wont
56    40|       the foes~A bold defiance speak, and come to blows.~ ~ LXXIX~
57    41|       bear me, as you say,~(To speak the very truth) I do not
58    42|        yet by some plain token speak --~She, in her passion,
59    42|    beauty more.~"He that would speak -- would speak her praises
60    42|      that would speak -- would speak her praises true --~(Declares
61    43|        think awhile, of whom I speak,~(As said) ere to his lips
62    43|       own;~Then of the vantage speak, that from his hall~Her
63    43|      pen.~ ~ LXXI~"I of Adonio speak, that in a hound~A treasure
64    43|        and in what wise~Should speak, how tempt her; what entreaties
65    44|       in earnest or in sport, ~Speak not, except some cozening
66    44|      confest~In that whereof I speak than in the rest.~ ~ LII~
67    46|      Marphisa, "For himself to speak,~Behold him here and ready!"
68    46|       sisters closest amity;~I speak of her that gives and that
