Canto

 1     1|     Good seed of Hercules, give ear and deign,~Thou that this
 2     1|        thou wilt lend a willing ear,~The worth and warlike feats
 3     1|      the stones, and please the ear.~ ~ XXXVI~Weening removed
 4     2|         sound strangely in your ear~Rinaldo took the steed thus
 5     2|      glides away;~And him whose ear its pleasing murmurs fill,~
 6     2|         Than wary, gave a ready ear; and, bent~To help the maid,
 7     6|        sorrows in his comrade's ear.~ ~ LXXV~Above the laurel
 8     7|     whispering in a neighbour's ear,~What secret pleases best;
 9     7|         form of ring,~Is either ear; and from the yellow round~
10     7|     still invisible, was at his ear.~So feigning, from the wanton
11     8|       County," whispered in his ear,~And (the bridge quickly
12     9|        Orlando to the monarch's ear~Bade bear a message, `that
13    10|        music of their speech no ear~He lent, who weened if he
14    11|         known not to the public ear;~But when within that animal
15    13|     blinded, which from nose to ear~Had cleft his jaw: when
16    13|        grateful to the damsel's ear,~Her future offspring and
17    14|         the Moorish sovereign's ear~That the English had already
18    14|      couriers, to the Godhead's ear~So borne; which when the
19    14|       bidding" (whispers in his ear)~"That thou Rinaldo and
20    16|       Zerbino's peril smote the ear;~For, single and afoot,
21    18| audience claim,~Where still one ear is open to excuse:~And before
22    18|        her cruel tusks into his ear,~Her whelps as well will
23    20|         twould be poison to his ear,~And that it would inflame
24    21|         Reason whispered in his ear~That he was in an enemy'
25    23|        voice, from one to other ear,~The loud proclaim they
26    24|       by a noise which smote my ear,~I saw my comrade bleeding
27    24|         off her nose and either ear~Now thought, and her as
28    27|   sweeter music ever soothes my ear"~(Replied the Tartar, as
29    27|           if pleased to lend an ear --~To their confusion yon
30    28|   womankind King Rodomont gives ear;~Then journeys homeward;
31    28|      for the love of heaven, an ear~To this, the landlord's
32    28|        to this talk has lent an ear,~Prompt with advice that
33    32|    confirmed that fame in every ear,~Was, that she, having from
34    32|         the fire, they feed the ear;~And in this way the weary
35    34|         to the vent he held his ear,~And in that troubled cavern
36    36|   plaintive voice incline their ear,~A woman's (as 'twould seem)
37    37|     called and whispered in her ear,~So as that none beside
38    39|      while it yet delights your ear,~'Twere well and wisely
39    42|    Sounded importunately in his ear,~So by sure index Malagigi
40    45|     reproves for having lent an ear~To a suspicion so unjust
41    45|        conveyed to gentle Leo's ear;~And put into his heart
42    46|         joy, like thunder to my ear,~Rumbles along the sea and
43    46|      sound of steeds Frontino's ear~Had reached, and thither
