Canto

 1     2|       Nor shalt thou grudge thy labour and thy care,~If envious
 2     3|        bestow, as I desire,~All labour and all thought will I combine,~
 3     3|    avail,~To bring the stubborn labour to perfection.~Return we
 4     3|        shall act on earth,~Were labour not to finish with the night.~
 5     3|         guerdon of his glorious labour,~He should distress and
 6     4|      and caracole;~He with such labour wrought. This only real,~
 7     4|        that thy coming makes my labour vain.~ ~ XXXIII~"Ah! then
 8     5|       And for my lover with all labour strain,~And industry, Geneura'
 9     7|        pays my tedious pain and labour past?~ ~ LVII~"The marrow
10     8| inhospitable way:~Till he, with labour huge oppressed and worn,~
11     8|         The heat and thirst and labour which he bore~By that drear
12     8|       now here, now there, with labour sore:~Oh! what tormenting
13    10|       to the warrior thirst and labour sore,~Still toiling through
14    11|      horrid fish, but might his labour spare:~For, with the torment
15    12|     room below.~Nor spends less labour, on his task intent,~Above,
16    12|        up and down returns with labour sore,~Yet not for that his
17    13|       themselves they tire~With labour sore, and frustrate of their
18    13|        clear~In the great web I labour evermore;~And therefore
19    14|          That he would lose his labour's fruit, although~The royal
20    15|         he bestow, which is his labour's pay;~And beg her freedom,
21    17|     like the rest.~The paynim's labour is a fruitless task,~Of
22    18|       cord.~More to relate were labour ill bestowed,~I deem, nor
23    19|      The mizenmast, to make her labour less.~ ~ XLIX~They bale
24    19|        for the first and second labour meet --~He liberty for all
25    19|     slow;~Some chained, another labour to complete,~Are tasked,
26    19|     deem these of mere toil and labour long~Must die, save they
27    25|      next how came on her, with labour spent,~-- As by the stream
28    26|         that magician's godlike labour dight;~Save voice was wanting,
29    26|       the Alps, and makes their labour vain,~Who would against
30    26|         conceive,~As will small labour for Rogero leave."~ ~ CIX~-- "
31    28|     having with mickle pain~And labour sore, some money put away,~
32    30|  Marsilius strive in vain,~With labour sore, this tangle to undo;~
33    31|      darkness rendered Turpin's labour vain,~Who tasked himself
34    32|    wearied sore with that day's labour are.~With grief the sewer,
35    33|        had done.~Rinaldo, after labour vain and sore~To await him
36    34|        from fair.~"What is this labour?" said the peer to John;~
37    35|         the pile, but ne'er his labour ended;~And in that stream,
38    37|       more theirs than they our labour need.~ ~ XV~If I of these
39    37|        quick coursers make that labour short.~Never had those assaulted
40    41|          XXXV~Scarce, with much labour, the two captains led~Her,
41    41|       the Child that shore with labour slow;~And where the rocky
42    41|       through which would every labour fail.~At the same time descends
43    44|        yearly by the bee, whose labour's fruit~Is lost for her,
44    45|         night on his unfinished labour close,~Hurries and toils
45    46|       helped, with much ado~And labour sore the gentle courser
46    46|  prophetic heat;~Who, 'mid long labour and 'mid vigil sore,~With
