Canto

 1   Int|   witch Morgana and her sister Alcina; Mandricardo, a fierce but
 2     6|        steed,~Arrives in false Alcina's empery:~There from a myrtle-tree
 3     6|    seated by the sea:~Puissant Alcina owned the house and land.~
 4     6|       for an isle.~ ~ XXXVIII~"Alcina made the ready fish obey~
 5     6|        fay.~With laughing face Alcina mounts behind,~Leaving the
 6     6|     befel the peer:~This while Alcina to console me tries,~And
 7     6|        with the morn,~Of which Alcina keeps a mighty share;~By
 8     6|         full of love, the kind Alcina fed~With full delights;
 9     6|      beloved, or more;~Nor did Alcina now for other care;~She
10     6|        When kindest I believed Alcina's will,~And fondly deemed
11     6|         as you see me changed, Alcina roots;~While this transformed
12     6|       pleasures fed,~Have from Alcina seigniory and throne;~But
13     6|        That he might so eschew Alcina's seat.~-- `There was a
14     6|   strain,~Lest empire over him Alcina gain.~ ~ LVIII~He to remount
15     6|        his way pursued,~Ere he Alcina's lovely city viewed.~ ~
16     7|     erthrows.~That done, he to Alcina's labyrinth, where~More
17     7|          IX~To meet the Child, Alcina, fair of hue,~Advanced some
18     7|         For (such the magic of Alcina's spell)~She every ancient
19     7|        this the enamoured far, Alcina's will.~ ~ XXXI~No pleasure
20     7|     year.~ ~ XLIV~By him he to Alcina's isle had been~Dispatched,
21     7|      the other tells~That with Alcina her Rogero dwells.~ ~ XLVI~
22     7|       is hidden, hear,~To foil Alcina's wiles and witchery,~And
23     7|    such swiftness born,~She in Alcina's isle arrived at morn.~ ~
24     7|       length detached from his Alcina's side:~For still, in motion
25     7|       For him in silk and gold Alcina wrought.~ ~ LIV~About the
26     7|       school, in thee should I~Alcina's Atys or Adonis spy?~ ~
27     7|    Alexander, Scipio.~Who thee Alcina's bondsman could believe;~
28     7|  negociation,~And on the false Alcina brings such hate,~As on
29     7|        too unmasked the charms Alcina wore,~And made all false,
30     7|       thinly clothed with hair Alcina's head;~Her stature reached
31     7|      thought~Of love for false Alcina, found in guise~Which no
32     7| accoutred cap-a-pee.~And, lest Alcina should his end explore,~
33     7|     won:~And ere of his escape Alcina knew,~The gentle youth was
34     8|          XII~In the mean time, Alcina, who had heard~How he had
35     8|       spear of gold,~Which now Alcina's magic palace graced,~And
36    10|         Rogero goes, nor heeds Alcina more:~Him, of that flying
37    10|       He found three ladies of Alcina's court,~As such distinguished
38    10|      lett would time supply~To Alcina to arrive, who now was nigh.~ ~
39    10|        fled~In time from false Alcina, and before~To him the dame
40    10|        With these came wronged Alcina, with a band~Of many vassals,
41    10|      of either fay:~Whence was Alcina's realm turned upside down,~
42    10|        the wretched fay.~ ~ LV~Alcina flies; and her sad troop
43    10|   eternal fame is due,~Leaving Alcina in her trouble sore:~I speak
44    10|      which, to snatch him from Alcina, she~Had next to India by
45    12|       tower of steel, and vain~Alcina's art, Atlantes plots again.~ ~
46    13|        The bosom rankling with Alcina's wound.~ ~ XLVII~When her
47    15|     the sober fay,~Who quelled Alcina by her better lore,~She
48    15|       doubt~Of hinderance from Alcina's treachery,~That good Andronica,
49    15|        Secure from danger from Alcina's wrath,~The duke by land
50    22|    that to the domain~Of false Alcina him he might convey:~On
