Canto

 1     1|          a horseless cavalier.~ ~ XI~With shield upon his arm,
 2     2|       like ice, in shivers go.~ ~ XI~When the fair damsel saw,
 3     3|           and lies there dead.~ ~ XI~"Yet lives the spirit of
 4     4|         before and now behind.~ ~ XI~From wood to wood, from
 5     5|          way by day or night.~ ~  XI~"So was for many days and
 6     6|           perish in the field.~ ~ XI~"I know I choose the wrong,
 7     7|    outshines each lesser star.~ ~ XI~Her shape is of such perfect
 8     8|       Atlantes' work, to bare.~ ~ XI~He raised the crimson cloth
 9     9|         quarrel and most fair.~ ~ XI~"So that if thou on that
10    10|            a foolish courtesy.~ ~ XI~The gentle damsel had not
11    11|            prolonged her stay;~ ~ XI~And about evening, when
12    12|         whom she was conveyed.~ ~ XI~This while, as here and
13    13|        the hills about descry.~ ~ XI~"A fitting place to effect
14    14|      government to every band.~ ~ XI~Marsilius first, and after
15    15|          and the freest track.~ ~ XI~And thus by her a barque
16    16|     should have seen that day.~ ~ XI~"When I from Nicosia thee
17    17|           held in high esteem.~ ~ XI~Rodomont stands before the
18    18|        town short time before.~ ~ XI~Not so, well-keyed into
19    19|        boy, and does not slay.~ ~ XI~To him the stripling turns,
20    20|         their husbands' stead.~ ~ XI~"With others' children filled
21    21| Hermonides on earth o'erthrew.~ ~ XI~Thinking him slain who only
22    22|           him his bugle bore;~ ~  XI~And traversing a forest,
23    23|      plainly who she was espy.~ ~ XI~None could Astolpho have
24    24|    guardian of his holy faith.~ ~ XI~He would have been in peril
25    25|         time to lend her aid."~ ~ XI~He drew his falchion without
26    26|           for whom we stayed?"~ ~ XI~-- "Not all," Rogero said, "
27    27|      desire to seek them hies.~ ~ XI~Her to Anglantes or to Brava
28    28|        refusal left no ground.~ ~ XI~"Faustus set forth, and,
29    29|          untouched, unstained.~ ~ XI~Sad Isabella in her mind
30    30|         had spread their sail.~ ~ XI~"Hoah! the boat! put back!"
31    31|          cruel shock is broke.~ ~ XI~His lance Guichardo levelled,
32    32|    desired and gladsome sight!~ ~ XI~Aye sick with hope deferred,
33    33|      fields its withered root.~ ~ XI~"King Pharamond so trusted
34    34|          and fatigue to speak.~ ~ XI~"Lydia, the child of Lydia'
35    35|           metal, thither bore.~ ~ XI~I know not if you recollect;
36    36|         they might mount anew.~ ~ XI~I of that lady fair, of
37    37|         another's glory lives;~ ~ XI~And well he merits, that
38    38|           or for valour famed.~ ~ XI~Her kindly Charlemagne received,
39    39|         and the martial queen.~ ~ XI~They till that hour upon
40    40|       anchored by the knight.~ ~  XI~Orlando and the duke, like
41    41|        thing he would command.~ ~ XI~But sound or signal little
42    42|          deals the fatal blow.~ ~ XI~Orlando levels at his better
43    43|           very head will show.~ ~ XI~"Above, was left a neighbouring
44    44|    instruction, God inspires."~ ~ XI~And his discourse pursuing
45    45|         to Constantine repair.~ ~ XI~Constantine on that night
46    46|     Arezzo, and Accolti hight.~ ~ XI~Adorned with scarlet hat,
