Canto

 1     1|    vainly to regain the treasure tried.~ ~ XV~Thither at speed
 2     1|     combat prostrate laid~By the tried valour of a gentle maid.~ ~
 3     2|          The first, her prowess, tried by many a test,~Equal to
 4     4|         law by which the dame is tried!~Cursed he who would permit
 5     4|          damsel's cause is to be tried.~ ~ LXIX~Seeking their way
 6     5|     worthy guerdon of a faith so tried,~To slay me; and had compassed
 7     5|         now the doubtful quarrel tried."~The field was cleared,
 8     8|        sagacious dog on mountain tried~Before, accustomed fox and
 9     8|          his host, had they been tried,~Could have availed to tear
10     9|   Orlando's faithful breast~Such tried allegiance and due loyalty?~
11     9|          curtains, I had hid the tried~And faithful follower, of
12     9|        own destruction, had been tried.~Six towns I had in Flanders:
13    10|       dame her arm withdrew;~She tried again, yet no one found;
14    11|        dame's affection had been tried;~And how she for Bireno
15    14|     Buraldo, Ormida, and Arganio tried,~Where needing, the unordered
16    14|      moved those bands of valour tried,~And short to them a tedious
17    15|        many a one~Well-armed and tried; and others 'mid their files,~
18    17|        sad servitude he long was tried,~By Love and Pity bound:
19    18|   Grandonio stood, and Falsiron,~Tried oftentimes in greater ill
20    18|       And, though she for excuse tried many wiles,~Did thus as
21    18|     deeds, all knights of valour tried~The Syrian king invites,
22    20|      better proof than this been tried.~ ~ LXXV~"No less than me
23    21|         use, my brother's fealty tried.~But he, as one unstained
24    21|        here a new device Gabrina tried,~And, ere the sickly man
25    26|         their prowess would have tried,~And if their semblance
26    26|         battle was this question tried:~But I that day restrained
27    27|        Beavers' known device had tried;~Who. followed closely by
28    27|   paragon, for heart and prowess tried,~Meseems no ancient histories
29    28|          many has stood fast.~If tried, all women we by proof should
30    29|     stream each doughty champion tried.~"How can a fool such mighty
31    30|         nought,~Nor worthy to be tried in martial field;~And prayed
32    30|      well wealded metal's temper tried,~Against that sword, which
33    31|          testimony bear~Than the tried valour which in you we see;~
34    32| cavaliers they were, of might so tried,~Few champions but to them
35    35|       When with King Rodomont he tried a fall.~ ~ XXXIV~She sought
36    36|        his doughty valour I have tried,~And wot not such is Richardetto'
37    38|         now~Her martial prowess, tried by goodly test,~When they
38    43|          see my consort's virtue tried~By certain proof, and to
39    43|           how of all that he had tried,~Who of his goblet drank,
40    43|       assay if she was true,~Had tried his wife by too severe a
41    43|         where that virtue may be tried.~ ~ LXXXV~"With such persuasions,
42    43|         without delay by thee be tried;~Go forth the lady at her
43    45|     willing and eternal service, tried;~And wills thy good to mine
44    45|        cause shall be by justice tried,~And to his parliament the
45    46|         thy great courtesy, well tried~In a sore need, my fixt
46    46|          and with all his vigour tried~To pull Rogero down, and
