Canto

 1     1|       Not with such wonderment a mother eyes,~With such excessive
 2     2|       valiant father's name,~His mother was the child of Agolant.~
 3     2|         Salute the visage of old mother earth,~Traversed a wood,
 4     3|         saving hand;~This in his mother's right he shall possess,~
 5     3|         not if more justly hight~Mother or stepmother) brings new
 6     3|          new distress;~But, if a mother, scarce to him more mild~
 7     3|        sent,~That he with aid of mother wit may try,~And of this
 8     4|         heard without!~"O mighty mother! king of heaven!" she cries,~"
 9     8|       But bade together with the mother kill,~Ere born, his grandchild,
10    12|      within the womb~Of the full mother, takes its early food;~And
11    13|         gild the town, of Ocnus' mother hight,~With her own glorious
12    14|           Have outraged, sister, mother, wife, and maid,~And cast
13    18|       confused;~ ~ XV~But if the mother spring at him, and hang,~
14    19|        gray,~Or Hector's ancient mother of renown,~Made call the
15    20|     Thither a stranger roved, my mother bore.~And 'tis a twelvemonth
16    20|        by the statute fell,~Each mother should one boy preserve,
17    20|       see and hear,~Won from her mother; and, about to part~From
18    20|       certify~No better sign thy mother could have placed~About
19    21|        in his mood~Had slain his mother and Aegysthus vile;~By vengeful
20    23|          of her brothers and her mother were.~ ~ XXI~She, when she
21    23|     holds at nought,~While her a mother and a brother greet,~As
22    23|   daughter, from the crew;~Whose mother whilom Bradamant had nursed;~
23    25|        father, brother, nor even mother me~From her (such our resemblance)
24    25|       who for her absence mourn,~Mother and brother, greet the martial
25    30|          wife and children dear,~Mother and brethren and the cousins
26    36|        many a fair emprize,~Your mother to that lonely shore did
27    36|          from her paps the milky mother fed.~ ~ LXIII~"Needing to
28    36|        the behest~To drown their mother in the stormy main?~For
29    36|          Who filled our fruitful mother with his seed;~As thou Atlantes
30    36|      furious sons conveyed~Their mother, great with child, and six
31    37|       Out of the dust, without a mother made,~Whom -- so Minerva
32    37|       sister had been slain,~The mother, or the daughter, or the
33    38| traitorously laid low.~Me my sad mother carried in her womb~Beyond
34    40|      from ancient altar won.~The mother this, that bore the child
35    40|       sisterhood,~-- Bradamant's mother she -- with Armelline,~The
36    40|       she -- with Armelline,~The mother of the Danish paladine).~ ~
37    43|        Here me of gentle line my mother bore,~But of small means,
38    43|         won,~As was erewhile the mother, that for gain~Bartered
39    44|       Will she regard her with a mother's eye:~Let her refuse and
40    44|          cheaply, so to slight~A mother's will, my own to satisfy?~
41    44|         As baby, albeit its fond mother beat~And drive it forth
42    45|  daughter choler and disdain~The mother nursed, yet that she honour
43    46|      lord of Bozzolo~Behold! the mother, sisters, cousinhood;~Them
44    46|      Moved Bradamant's ambitious mother so,~Or so to endear her
45    46|         side,~From her, his lady mother, Eleanor;~And to the Danube
