Canto

 1     3|      Pontier base;~The mighty wrong chastised, and traitor's
 2     3|   shall increase,~And without wrong its spreading bounds augment;~
 3     4|       woman is inflicted open wrong;~And to demonstrate it a
 4     5|     what he here maintains be wrong or right,~Because he would
 5     6|      of my eye.~Her, right or wrong, I cannot choose but shield,~
 6     6|       XI~"I know I choose the wrong, and be it so!~And in the
 7     8|    old Namus' hand!~Witless a wrong so crying to withstand.~ ~
 8     9|   that the knight~I would not wrong, to whom I fealty sware,~
 9     9|    power, should he intend me wrong;~Be with me, when committed
10    10|       for this (for that were wrong) opine~That you should cease
11    11|    that this would be another wrong~To Proteus, and provoke
12    11|   least have sought to do her wrong.~ ~  LXIV~To him he told
13    12|       when they perceived the wrong;~But, without thought to
14    13|      with unheard of hate and wrong, her foe~Would by her hand
15    14|       unable to withstand~The wrong, with tears and sighs withdrew
16    15|       equal arms: in that the wrong outweighs~-- Done to their
17    15|      haven lies;~And hence no wrong they to Orrilo do,~Assailing
18    16|     and without, assures~From wrong, for all the time the feast
19    16|       to avenge his charger's wrong,~The assailants, where he
20    17|     Gryphon might declare~His wrong, and to the king the truth
21    18|      single look.~For ill the wrong his angered people bore,~
22    18|   hurry forward to avenge the wrong.~ ~ CXVII~The pair of warlike
23    20|    loss, the election made be wrong,~And we enthrone the weak
24    20|      dower~Secure from brutal wrong, would none invade,~Though
25    21|     such their portion is who wrong maintain."~ ~ VIII~Him young
26    23|      he has endured so foul a wrong.~ ~ LI~That night in prison,
27    23| speech; which oftentimes from wrong,~And injury, and shame,
28    25| Tidings to our Rinaldo of the wrong,~I sent; bur fear that he
29    26|       with a due revenge that wrong repay.~ ~ LXVI~With him,
30    26|    upon Rodomont's avenge the wrong,~Incites that maid the mountain
31    26| endure -- and deemed a crying wrong,~That any other but himself
32    27|    Was aye to be preferred in wrong or right,~Although the world
33    29|      be the means to make her wrong so sore~That cavalier, by
34    32|    bore, nor had she done him wrong.~He, for ten days and nights,
35    32|   cries, `I deem it were foul wrong and sore,~If so such beauty
36    33|     and less prompt to pardon wrong,~Caesar, whose praises ancient
37    36|      have power, in spoil and wrong,~Done to a virgin heart,
38    36|    convicts you of too foul a wrong,~In leaving thus our sire
39    37|    yet more to see, so foul a wrong,~Disturbed the Child and
40    37|    beside his natural love of wrong,~He is endowed with more
41    41|       portion, I,~Rather than wrong my princely blood, will
42    44|       careless as to right or wrong,~But to their profit look
43    44| resolved to die;~Nor, if this wrong she from Rinaldo bear~Will
44    44|     shall I do? such grievous wrong shall I~Endure, or, rather
45    45|       Leo's purpose, right or wrong, to break,~Than tell the
