Canto

 1   Int|        Ruggiero from becoming a Christian. By the end of the poem,
 2     1|     disarray;~Namus, with other Christian captains taken,~And his
 3     1|      That fatal day against the Christian creed:~And, entering a thick
 4     1|       His life a forfeit to the Christian blade.~ ~ XXXI~And this
 5     2|        Yet, in obediance to the christian king,~Prepared himself to
 6     4|      season,~Is doomed to die a Christian, and by treason.~ ~ XXX~"
 7    13|         side~I was a saracen, a Christian he)~To ask me of my father
 8    14|      ears conveyed,~Of this his Christian people, seeking aid.~ ~

10    14|       and large) king Charles's Christian bands.~Here many a scull
11    15|      fair;~ ~ LXIV~And therein (Christian renegadoes all)~Keeps fifteen
12    16|       For city there is none on Christian ground.~But what has citizens
13    16|      And muscle fortified, each Christian came.~Sobrino quickly moved
14    16|         Well matched awhile the Christian and the Moor~Appeared, without

17    17|             LXXV~If verily most Christian you would be,~-- I speak
18    18|       So firmly, as to wait the Christian band,~In number less, but
19    18|         panic sore,~They by the Christian bands are held in chase;~
20    18|      her naked arms: with tent,~Christian or Saracen, was Paris-town~
21    22|     good, who not alone to be~A Christian for the love of her were
22    23|         far or near,~In land of Christian or of Paynim creed,~In occupation
23    24|        close beleaguered by the Christian train.~And, having told
24    24|        our host, menaced by the Christian band;~Which now, besieged
25    25|      before,~He would in deed a Christian be ordained,~As in resolve
26    26|    Wrought to the damage of the Christian king,~By those two couples
27    27|       Where they would work the Christian army scorn.~ ~ III~Had he
28    27|          Yet brought not on the Christian host their foes:~That evil

31    27|         their files against the Christian foe.~"Afric and Spain!"
32    27|      beat and broke.~ ~ XIX~The Christian host throughout is overthrown,~
33    27| Marphisa rush~To battle, so the Christian squadrons crush.~ ~ XXV~
34    27|     shoulders lay,~Where'er the Christian squadrons were too slow~
35    27|    repose, again~To drench with Christian blood the thirsty plain.~ ~
36    29|        s toll be dearly paid~By Christian or by Moor, who pass his
37    30|         force~King Agramant the Christian army stays.~Such fair companionship
38    31|         peer,~Baiardo, from the Christian cavalier.~ ~ XCI~Gradasso
39    34|      LXVI~"But yet, because the Christian paladine~Has sinned against
40    36|        Than as a warrior of the Christian crew.~ ~ XXV~Troyano's generous
41    36|        Upon the other part, the Christian foes~Advance, and both divisions
42    36|         by a treacherous foe~In Christian land; and still their influence
43    38|      mightiest effort, with the Christian crew;~Hoping by siege or
44    38|         s race adust~Revere thy Christian cross of snowy grain,~--
45    38|        they ravaged fields with Christian blood;~And yet with greater
46    38|             XVIII~She adds, the Christian faith she will receive,~
47    38|        arms obtain~Shall be the Christian faith's and empire's gain.~ ~
48    38|      high,~Nor whatsoever other Christian knight.~But would ye kindle
49    38|      pleasure find,~As well the Christian as the paynim foe:~For,
50    38|       But because sister of the Christian knight~(He knows) is she,
51    39|   welcome did afford~Unto those Christian cavaliers, as said:~Who --
52    39|        To most advantage of the Christian crew.~While so the cavaliers
53    40|    destroy;~That it no more may Christian France annoy.~ ~ X~And hence
54    40|       better than thy death the Christian cheer,~Whence he might hope
55    40|         or of steel.~I rate the Christian church, were he at rest,~
56    41|     that mortal scaith,~To be a Christian, vowed in heart and faith;~ ~
57    41|       Dating from when he was a Christian made;~Who for the death
58    41|        rear.~A goodly horse the Christian champion bore;~Nor worse
59    42|      those armies two,~Upon the Christian and the paynim side;~Since
60    43|      mood.~He, that the Child a Christian made whilere,~Christens
61    43|   lament the blow!~How will the Christian church and empire moan,~
62    43|        their way~Were the three Christian warriors, homeward borne,~
63    43|       CXCI~Who, warring for the Christian faith, in fight~To perilous
64    43|         fell~On Roland and each Christian cavalier,~Than when, restored
65    43|      All, for they know he is a Christian, stand~About him with serene
66    44| maintained:~Now he Rogero for a Christian knew,~What could not then
67    45|    before the youthful knight~A Christian was, I will not heed it,
