 1     2|            say my heart.~ ~ XLIV~"Alas! what more is left me but
 2     2|          added hope to my desire~(Alas! desire and hope alike were
 3     3|           wreck not in their ire.~Alas! from Naples in this distant
 4     3|          beyond thy love prevail;~Alas! the wretched pair are of
 5     4|           Nor I, by malice moved, alas! poor wight,"~(The weeping
 6     5|         he made assay:~But judge, alas! with what supremacy~He
 7     5|           to her swain,~Began -- `Alas! you yet are far behind~
 8     6|           in Geneura's aid.~ ~ X~"Alas! (he said) I cannot bear
 9     6|        this would move;~But that, alas! my death, as well I know,~
10     6|       aggravate my ill,~And that, alas! without the hope of cure?~
11     7|          predicted, should ensue?~Alas! why seal the womb God willed
12     8|           I bore myself! and out, alas! what pain,~(When night
13     8|         chaste,~I kept untouched, alas! now plucked and waste?~ ~
14    10|           shelter," did she say;~"Alas! why two together are not
15    10|        this wood, a tomb~Give me, alas! in his voracious womb.~ ~
16    11|               XXVII~Through thee, alas! are dead, or have to die,~
17    12|           than for life and soul, alas! of thee~Protection for
18    14|          needs such help require.~Alas! and why is not the champion
19    16|        and cried: "Oh, well away!~Alas! alas!" (and thus he often
20    16|      cried: "Oh, well away!~Alas! alas!" (and thus he often said,~
21    17|   enterprize wilt thou give o'er.~Alas! thou sleepest, drunken
22    20|          Nor hoping but by death, alas! to fly~So vile a service,
23    22|      suffice with pain;~And when, alas! we thither shall have sped,~
24    28|    ravished her heart's core.~-- `Alas! my love (Jocundo cried)
25    28|  forgetfulness, had left behind.~`Alas! (the youth bethought him)
26    28|           light,~Flammetta, thou, alas! art lost to me,~Nor know
27    30|      which we pay is poor amends.~Alas! I sorrow and lament in
28    30|         agony and fear.~ ~ XXXII~"Alas! and what (exclaims she)
29    30|             what warranty have I,~Alas! -- and such are commonest
30    30|           ever bar?~ ~ `  LXXXII~"Alas! alas! Rogero, that above~
31    30|          bar?~ ~ `  LXXXII~"Alas! alas! Rogero, that above~Myself
32    32|       thine or other's thrall.~-- Alas! how vain the hope! that
33    32|              XXI~"But, woe is me, alas! and, what can I~Save my
34    32|            Rogero; thee to leave,~Alas! I neither will nor power
35    33|          pleased was but a dream; alas! a sheer~Reality is this
36    33|      puissance, all his treasure,~Alas! had miserably lost his
37    34|         of ancient fame;~And now, alas! well-nigh without a name.~ ~
38    36|          I him who seeks my life, alas! shall spill,~Thou her that
39    36|      heaven! -- what done I done,~Alas! that ever mine approach
40    41|          which they fly.~ ~ XXIII~Alas! for man's deceitful thoughts
41    43|          persuaded by whose word,~Alas! I of the fortune made assay,~
42    43|        quarrelled; and the fault, alas! was mine.~ ~ XX~"Five years
43    43|          be mine again.~ ~ XLIII~"Alas! with him she swells in
44    43|       such an evil deed.~For man, alas, will sometimes disarray~
45    43|           welcome dost thou make?~Alas! what hope to-day thou renderest
46    43| henceforward from alarm and fear!~Alas! how strengthened paynimry
47    44|          will, my own to satisfy?~Alas! what blemish is so foul
48    44|       pleasure?~ ~ XLIII~"I know, alas! what I should do; I know~
49    44|         soon as I appear?~ ~ XLV~"Alas! with long and obstinate
50    45|         and Hopes return.~Return, alas! return, O radiance dear!~
