Canto

 1     1|           in a tiger's breast had pity bred,~Or with his mournful
 2     1| lamentations run,~Which might for pity stop the passing sun.~ ~
 3     2|        approaching warriors say,~`Pity, fair sirs, the cruel loss
 4     2|         joy dilates.~But, full of pity, kindles into flame~As Pinabel
 5     3|         blood,~So many prevailing pity turn the scale!"~And in
 6     3|      enchanter hoar;~Let no false pity there thy mind incline~To
 7     4|         awhile essayed,~Until she pity moved with mournful mien.~
 8     9|          cruel use~But feels such pity for Olympia fair,~Wronged
 9     9|       darkness found.~ ~ XLV~"His pity for his son, the hate he
10    10|         but rather guess~It is in pity, is in goodness done:~Since
11    10|          hither fare,~Who may for pity bear me hence away;~And
12    10|          he called to mind again.~Pity and love within his bosom
13    11|           now, without remorse or pity, slay~The inhabitants, through
14    16|      esteem profest,~He felt more pity at the doleful sight~Than, '
15    17|            But if fear shook him, pity moved him more:~You see
16    17|       long was tried,~By Love and Pity bound: till Fortune brought~
17    17|          Who deemed that Love and Pity's mickle force~Was proved
18    18|           Gryphon, all thought of pity laid aside,~Threats not
19    18|        hastened, who~Was moved to pity for the works he made.~The
20    19|      beauteous face survey,~Takes pity on the boy, and does not
21    19|    kindness turned,~With love and pity he all over burned.~ ~ XIII~
22    19|     misfortune lay,~She feels new pity in her bosom rise,~Which
23    19|          was to stay with him, by pity led,~Beneath the courteous
24    19|           till he was sound;~Such pity first she felt, when him
25    20|         own prisoner.~ ~  XL~" `I pity,' (said Elbanio) 'lady fair,~
26    20|        eye bedimmed with tear,~In pity for the hapless youth, replied:~`
27    20|       their breasts with love and pity, wrought~That they of freedom,
28    21|           who only lay amazed,~By pity prest, Zerbino leapt to
29    22|       with tears," she cried,~"In pity to a youth condemned to
30    23|        felt his bosom swell,~With pity at that cruel sight and
31    23|         in wood.~Orlando, without pity, on that day~Lets none escape
32    24|     gazing upon Odoric's brow,~In pity, more than hate, as he perpends~
33    24|     between them, with the dew~Of pity cooled the fury in his mind,~
34    24|          may some wight,~Haply by pity moved, be hither led."~She
35    25|     herself the vengeful blow.~In pity, Bradamant the sorrow shares,~
36    25|        Untold; which touched with pity every wight;~Told how the
37    26|          from chains, us Love and Pity sway."~He to that stranger
38    27|           all the crowd about~For pity now, and now for succour,
39    27|           burn;~And Echo oft, for pity of his woes,~With him from
40    28|        slept nor fed:~So that for pity oft the youth repented~He
41    28|           him the damsel, full of pity, cries:~`Believe, I covet
42    29|           That second Breuse sans pity did remain;~Who, when digested
43    31|       this cruel woe~Some one, in pity to his cruel pain,~May strive
44    31|         er you loved withal,~Have pity upon me who love this peer;~
45    32|          from snake-haired Furies pity won,~In those dark realms
46    32|          thou shouldst be~Ever to pity moved by suppliant call,~
47    32|    Tristram's power:~But he, with pity touched, upon the morrow,~
48    36|       years and beauty might have pity bred~In Anthropophagus,
49    36|        now consent,~Nor even have pity of my cruel woe?~Dare, valiant
50    36|         blazoned bird upbear.~All pity he casts off, and 'twould
51    37|       replied --~An evil race, by pity never swayed,~Besides that
52    37|           death.~ ~ LXXVII~"Love, pity, sorrow, anger, and desire~
53    37|      martial might~First she such pity moved and then disdain,~
54    37|           instrument,~Who has all pity banished from his breast,~
55    39|         and heart transfixed with pity, cried~Valiant Astolpho --
56    39|           That each will love and pity overflows;~And this befalls,
57    41|          strength and breath;~For pity loth to put that lord to
58    43|          closed his history,~With pity touched, somewhile immersed
59    44|           hope to have~Pardon and pity, if in fault I be:~But,
60    45|          she sued,~His heart with pity softened and subdued.~ ~
61    45|           how righteous Heaven by pity stirred~From the wide champaign,
62    45|            and venom burned;~With pity and with love then wholly
