Canto

 1     1|     spring in Arden, with rare virtue fraught:~This fills the
 2     2|    prison-cell;~And by strange virtue of the shield disclosed,~
 3     3|      in this mortal state;~But Virtue soars beyond her love and
 4     5|      from death and scorn, her virtue shown,~With more delight
 5     7|        blame,~But oftener as a virtue well reputed.~By those shrewd
 6     7|    road and bare,~Towards true virtue, in his own despite;~As
 7     7|        the paths whence men to virtue climb.~ ~ LXIII~"I was more
 8     7|     finger put the ring,~Whose virtue to himself the warrior brought.~
 9     7|        her heart,~If with such virtue fraught, her heart could
10     7|    that good ring of sovereign virtue wore,~Which, on the finger
11     8|         And, but that vows had virtue to allay~The wrath of Heaven,
12    12|    double brand,~And gave them virtue never to be spent;~And,
13    13|       I tell~Than of the lofty virtue of its wives:~And that thou
14    13|      day,~Shall wax in beauty, virtue, chastity,~And fortune,
15    15| applied,~Nor failed its wonted virtue in this need:~It smote the
16    18|       is but a tribute paid~To Virtue, worthy better prize to
17    19|       I know not; fraught with virtue to restrain~The crimson
18    19|     and breast;~And (with such virtue was the salve endued)~It
19    20|          CXXXIII~"Her, who for virtue and for beauteous form~Was
20    22|       I praise,~And make their virtue dim the sun's fair light;~
21    26|      ladies were,~Who worshipt virtue, and not worldly gear.~Women
22    29|      lay~Mine unction, for its virtue lasts not more:~This liquor
23    29|        choice liquor with rare virtue blest;~Lest haply thou shouldst
24    29|      her mouth; nor failed its virtue now;~For putting it between
25    32|      guessed~Of the stupendous virtue it possessed.~ ~ XLIX~Without
26    32|       of you three, in his own virtue strong;~My every love and
27    36|   Annulled, or by its stronger virtue stayed.~Hence so Rogero
28    37| willingly~Life in the cause of virtue would lay down:~Matter as
29    37|      simply weakened, lies~The virtue, wont Tancaro to sustain~
30    38|     right.~A herb of sovereign virtue on that ground~The apostle
31    41|       which for many a day its virtue keeps,~Well shows, by manifest
32    41|         Since it preserves its virtue through the year.~The tree
33    42|    Heaven shall heir~As mighty virtue as on earth doth reign,~
34    43|     wished to see my consort's virtue tried~By certain proof,
35    43|   assay~Give you (she said) of virtue strange and rare:~Such was
36    43|       deed; subjoining how~The virtue that mankind most highly
37    43|      wide~Is opened where that virtue may be tried.~ ~ LXXXV~"
38    43|      health bestow;~Having his virtue proved by signs more clear.~
39    44|     valued without wealth; how virtue less.~ ~ XXXVII~But Beatrice,
40    44|      Her mighty valour and her virtue high,~So that, as cheaper,
41    46|       I know it now,~So me thy virtue would have made thine own,~
42    46|       at his side,~And gathers virtue from his generous guide.~ ~
43    46|         Valour, and that fifty virtue, which hath made~With those
