Canto

 1     3|        One that in peace or war doth fairer show;~Nor lineage
 2    15|       path upon the sandy shore doth lie,~Barred by the giant'
 3    16|      vain delight:~Yet evil use doth sovereign reason chase,~
 4    22|       Lo! him the traitor's sin doth hither speed,~Of all his
 5    23|      knight than thee the horse doth ride,~And vainly would his
 6    30|         beak, its fasting youth doth cheer.~With them a day or
 7    37|    other be, whose actions Fame doth swell,~Thirsts for man's
 8    38|       Branzardo, who your place doth fill,~As viceroy and lieutenant
 9    38|     brother aims the steel,~Who doth his miserable soul possess,~
10    41|         even there short season doth remain:~The reeling ship
11    41|   fierce assault and cruel coil doth keep~Upon all sides that
12    41|      The Lord, that every thing doth see and hear,~Had to that
13    42|       close them, nor, I think, doth sleep:~She listens with
14    42|     Where he that hubbub hears, doth thither swoop,~Until he
15    42|         hell~(Where she herself doth ever gnaw and eat,~While
16    42|         that battle far himself doth see:~Every ten miles he
17    42|       mighty virtue as on earth doth reign,~Or ever yet hath
18    42|         Joys that such daughter doth to him belong.~Her shall
19    43|       thirst~Of sordid gold! it doth not me astound~So easily
20    43|    Deserted and neglected then) doth smile,~This yet rejoices
21    43|      lady to be true.~His going doth his woful wife deplore.~
22    43|        fatal state, and what it doth import;~We to all other
23    43|        CXIX~"He in wide circles doth about her wind,~Hoping now
24    43|        site, and sumptuous work doth he behold,~And royal ornament
25    43|    clear herself and shame him, doth she stun~Anselmo, never
26    43|       Wildly her hands together doth she smite,~And gnaw; with
27    43|         And as in talk it often doth befall~That one thing from
28    44|        which a duteous daughter doth behove;~I know; but what
29    44|         sire complains, and him doth brand,~Laying his filial
30    44|      the sea, increased by him, doth flow,~He saw the imperial
31    44|        road that's shown to him doth ride.~For towards the bridge
32    45|        45~ ~ ARGUMENT~Young Leo doth from death Rogero free;~
33    45|    placed~In her by man, to him doth shortly show,~How wight
34    45|     moving wise~And efficacious doth she make lament;~(Nor from
35    45|         with none;~And one that doth the place of jailer fill~
36    45|       What is become of him she doth not dare~Demand, lest more
37    45|        tis morn;~When me my sun doth of his rays deprive,~Against
38    45|         beauties from the sight doth hide;~The wild winds howl,
39    45|       this while Rogero's hands doth loose.~"Infinite thanks
40    45| disguise:~To him the matter Leo doth disclose;~And after prays
41    45|        night and day, and ever, doth molest,~Ever afflict him,
42    45|        Never will he confess he doth repent:~Rather than not
43    45|  blazoned on the crimson shield doth bear;~And (what the Child'
44    45|       with consent~Of Bradamant doth that avowal make:~For to
45    46|           XXXIX~And that he him doth for Rogero know~Not only
46    46|       gown,~Unarmed, beside him doth young Leo fare.~A worthy
47    46|        advices shew~Constantine doth a mighty host prepare,~And
48    46|   fairer place this ample world doth hold.~ ~ LXXV~Guested within
49    46|        side we view;~Whether he doth in court or camp command,~
50    46|     fear,~Who by strange proofs doth sift, and certify~To his
51    46|          CXXIV~But not for this doth Rodomont refrain:~He swoops
52    46|     CXXXVII~Rogero at his vizor doth present~His naked poniard'
