 1     1|        sight, yon noble steed~Is, sure, Bayardo, who before us
 2     2|         ass was mounted, slow and sure;~His visage warranted that
 3     2|       fierce and fruitless fight.~Sure it were better, while they
 4     2|        And after harbours in this sure domain.~Nothing is safe
 5     2|         mountain-passes show;~And sure 'tis little loss to lose
 6     4|           those woods he might be sure~Many and strange adventures
 7     5|          suit were hopeless, am I sure,~So excellent she is, and
 8     6|          and throne;~But shalt be sure to join the common flock,~
 9     7|     impressed.~So witched, Rogero sure some grace deserves,~If
10     8|          tide of flood,~Through a sure channel to fair London's
11    10|         furious heat, deserts his sure regale~On shore, to follow
12    11|           I err not, I,~Saying he sure the cruellest appears~And
13    11|          that beauteous form; for sure it were~He never could have
14    13|       knight.~ ~ III~"Though I am sure," she said, "O cavalier,~

21    18|           meed.~ ~ CVI~Norandine, sure that, in the martial game,~
22    19|            were I (he replied) so sure to appay~My heart with everything
23    21|          that death was nigh,~And sure to follow, quickly changed
24    23|       departed on my ill emprize!~Sure I was lorn of memory and
25    23|         country small assay,~And, sure to be bewildered, wend the
26    23|       showed;~And was Mount Alban sure; in which repair~One of
27    23|          dear,~Worthily dear; for sure so stout at need~And beauteous
28    23|      Hippalca mine, more sage~And sure than three, to do my embassage."~ ~
29    25|         either knight,~Honour, be sure, and duty strongly sways:~
30    25|      resembles her in cheer:~More sure the more intently he espies~
31    25|       news are hither blown.~By a sure messenger, to-day I read~
32    26|          attend.~ ~ LIX~"I in the sure belief pursued my course,~
33    27|          who his hest obeyed;~For sure he never deemed they should
34    27|      ground,~He, knowing well how sure he was to speed,~Laughed
35    28|         the matter certified,~And sure it was no dream, his sight
36    31|           false suspicion than by sure!~O wound! whose pangs so
37    31|       thou seest, anew; and I,~Be sure, though thou shouldst seek
38    32|         lovers will succeed;~(For sure) with pleasure and sincere
39    33|         it fallacious joy,~But -- sure and bitter -- waking ills
40    34|         other loss to save;~Right sure he otherwise should forfeit
41    34|           task, so prompt to ire;~Sure, passing aye from good to

48    38|         lies?~Your garrisons were sure of coward vein,~If they
49    39|        truck;~And knowing through sure spy, Astolpho led~The Nubians,
50    39|           fled:~Since Agramant, a sure retreat to gain,~Bade shut
51    39|          Africa's intent,~Who had sure news that shore by Nubia'
52    41|           by manifest effects and sure,~How perfect was its first
