Canto

 1     1|     well~Nigh brought my feeble wit which fain would climb~And
 2     1|        steed (so marvellous his wit),~Lamb-like, obeyed the
 3     3|      That he with aid of mother wit may try,~And of this ring,
 4     4|         ween unjust, or else of wit distraught,~Who statutes
 5     6|    faces differ, and in art~And wit of man an equal difference
 6     8|          And cursed her want of wit and wariness.~Then made
 7     8|      that cavalier,~Measured by wit and force, was worthiest.~
 8     8|     beauteous cheer,~Wisdom and wit: if now he went away~And
 9     9|         He laughs to scorn what wit and force can do.~Strange
10    10|      wisdom bought~By those who wit at other's cost are taught.~ ~
11    11|         working on their weaker wit,~As last upon its fatal
12    12|      thee to school his lack of wit."~ ~ XLII~-- "Fools, both
13    13|      proved and good;~Women, to wit, who in their freshest days~
14    15|        leader willed, of little wit:~Extinguished amid such
15    17|     chains she wore,~(Though he Wit less than Fortune served
16    17|        past.~ ~ CXXIX~His ready wit a fit excuse supplies~Why
17    18|     misguide,~And my own little wit, such fault excuse.~What
18    20|      from the circus reeled, of wit bereft.~ ~ LXXXIX~As family,
19    24|       this my lucid interval of wit;~And strive and hope withal
20    24|         down a brain~Of sounder wit than that to him assigned,~
21    24|    whose eager eye~Waits on his wit, wheels quickly to the right;~
22    27|       But man, of a less nimble wit possest,~Is ill at counsel,
23    27|        Of these, Orlando of his wit bereft,~Naked, in sun or
24    27|          and sought~With little wit their fury to restrain;~
25    28|     Lest him the king of little wit arraign;~He first by his
26    29|      XLVII~Roland, whose better wit was lost withal,~I know
27    29|   knight.~With better luck than wit, one woodman shear~From
28    30|    scaped, in time, from him of wit unsound,~And afterwards,
29    31|      They reason and our better wit obscure,~And from it natural
30    31|   swords on high,~To teach more wit to him of Sericane:~But
31    34|     repossest,~Orlando's wasted wit as well he takes,~Sees the
32    34|         you the journey made~To wit or worth; nor through your
33    34|        the vessel was ORLANDO'S WIT.~ ~ LXXXIV~The names of
34    34|    amplest round~Which held the wit Orlando erst possessed,~
35    38|        prove~That lady's little wit or little love.~ ~ IV~For
36    40|       who~Was wandering void of wit, short while ago,~The fittest
37    42|  Appeared to nurse, that one of wit so rude~Should dare to sing
38    43|     fair Leda bore;~And all the wit and wealth wherewith was
39    43|         that the husband little wit possest,~Who, wishing to
40    43|         greatly praised Argia's wit,~Who by such quaint device
41    44|        hath made that warrior's wit his prey;~And what he wills
42    44| Dexterity or prowess, worth, or wit,~Or goodness -- yet more
43    45|      And so thy darling and thy wit pourtrayed,~And worth, of
44    45|         valour wanting with his wit;~And the strange knight
