Canto

 1     1|       Fortune now compel thee to forego~The prize, and do my will
 2     1|          can I then my very life forego?~No! let me die; 'twere
 3     2|          He to the Pagan cries: "Forego thy theft,~And down, false
 4     5|       honours thee,~I promise to forego the fruitless chase~Of one,
 5     7|        Should of his joyous life forego one year.~ ~ XLIV~By him
 6     9|          would have consented to forego~My life to scape from him,
 7    12|        to feet;~Nor only wouldst forego the casque, but give~The
 8    14|        the champaigne country to forego,~This had the paynims purchased
 9    15|          present, should my fear forego.~How fields are fitly won
10    17|         sir, for love of Heaven, forego~Of anger and of death the
11    17| Demosthenes his cause might well forego.~With paper armed he seems,
12    18|       who made him rage and hate forego;~Strait shall you hear who '
13    18|      Meseems, if in his honour I forego~This life of mine, for favours
14    18|        make the youth his though forego,~Whom he held passing dear;
15    19|         not for death this being forego,~Until more foes than one
16    22|        mere words as little will forego.~ ~ LXII~"But let me face
17    23|         will as well his panoply forego,~That it may to Mount Alban
18    24|          and hope withal I shall forego~This dance of folly; but
19    24|        This is no cause I should forego my claim.~ ~ LX~"Take it
20    24|         it is that he should not forego~An inch of vantage; who,
21    25|        no haste her sorrowing to forego;~Sometimes her face, sometimes
22    26|      shown me at another's cost,~Forego the joust, and to your reasons
23    26|         so far his purpose would forego,~As on his prey to waste
24    27|       lest they their enterprize forego,~Rogero and Marphisa has
25    27|         heard him out, -- "Nor I forego~That sword to thee nor any
26    27|     warning thee, thy purpose to forego,~Until thou shalt have witnessed
27    27|       would consent that lady to forego,~The cause of strife, in
28    27|          constrained his lady to forego,~The king of Argier, overwhelmed
29    28|      that like himself he should forego~Revenge upon the author
30    28|       host his buxom daughter to forego,~And let them, where they
31    30|         parforce the Tartar must forego~His every title to the famous
32    31|           save that courser thou forego,~Be it through heaven above
33    33|         nor dish nor goblet they forego;~Nor void those ravening
34    34|   through us -- I now the masque forego;~What I, from him, beneath
35    38|      lightly she her hatred will forego.~ ~ LXX~If silently Rogero
36    38|          forthwith, if I my word forego!~And may it me and mine
37    39|         fair France for Afric to forego.~Meanwhile Astolpho in Biserta'
38    40|       and his evil sect he would forego.~That day no further feats
39    43|       thus the matter of my song forego.~Not more to what is shown
40    43|      that she her faith will not forego;~Partly that she believes
41    43|      richest presents tempted to forego~Her faith, a prey was she
42    44|          lord,~Nor will in ought forego his plighted word.~ ~ XXXVIII~
43    44|       the Grecian prince she him forego.~Hence this belief, this
44    44|          Him will he follow, nor forego, until~That Grecian leader
45    45|         sure he is to die; if he forego~The lady, he foregoes his
46    45|      makes that knight the joust forego~Is that he would not his
47    45|      Than, living, her Rogero to forego.~ ~ XCVII~"Rogero mine,
48    46|         to whom all living dames forego~The palm, and all of Grecian,
49    46|       Not only Bradamant would I forego,~But whatsoe'er I in the
50    46|      Bradamant he swayed,~And to forego his settled purpose won;~
51    46|      will persuade his father to forego.~None of the virtues, in
