 1     1|       vain,~My pen and pages may pay the debt in part;~Then,
 2     2|          poor a penance will not pay the dare."~And when they
 3     3|          taken; but shall dearly pay;~His crime, the town retrieved,
 4     5|        the king, who (no ignoble pay),~Rewarding him like his
 5     6|    flames of discord blew,~Shall pay the debt of vengeance due
 6    10|          homage do,~As those who pay their service faithfully;~
 7    11|          damsel! and is this the pay~You render for the service
 8    11|     these, I wot, shalt touch no pay.~ ~ XXVI~How, foul and pestilent
 9    12|        Many of France did in his pay unite:~For all from Paris
10    13|        wretched life the forfeit pay!~For what can wait me better
11    14|          assail~The town, should pay their daring folly dear,~(
12    15|    bestow, which is his labour's pay;~And beg her freedom, where
13    15|         and, bent -- to make him pay~The price of slaughtered
14    16|       deprive him of all praised pay,~After long time and trouble
15    16|    forbore with just reproach to pay;~Nor only did the threatened
16    17|         the suet all his members pay,~Until he drove his natural
17    18|        and on good their fitting pay,~At a league's distance
18    19|        possessing wherewithal to pay~The kindly couple's hospitality,~
19    20|          service by their goodly pay~Purchased (so hight the
20    20|     Phalantus and his train,~And pay withdrawn, nor longer by
21    20|       freedom, for which he must pay~The forfeit of his life,
22    23|    beside in might,~I needs must pay the hire as well as horse;~
23    27|       peril, into other fly,~And pay the penalty of flesh and
24    28|       guests, and from my yearly pay,~To seek again Valencia,
25    30|       rued,~The penance which we pay is poor amends.~Alas! I
26    31|        each other fitting honour pay.~Agramant's host the united
27    31|  Deserter by the bribe of better pay.~Of Montalbano these are
28    33|           Makes the rude Switzer pay Bicocca dear,~Paid by the
29    35|      appear.~Authors I love, and pay the debt I owe,~Speaking
30    35|       testimony, so my paints to pay.~It grieves me much for
31    35|         oblation to the tomb she pay.~Fair Bradamant who knew
32    36|     court, and serve him for his pay?~ ~ LXXVIII~"Here heartily
33    37|       presents, and by proffered pay,~Wrought on a lord, assured
34    37|       other streams that tribute pay,~So much more haughty and
35    38|     loser, tribute to that other pay.~Nor will this pact displease
36    41|          st to pass the sea, nor pay withal;~Thought'st to defraud
37    43| reverence to the serpent wont to pay,~The honoured ensign of
38    43|        gold; for him no gold can pay;~But if I for one night
39    43|        wondrous dog; and, as his pay,~To her leman yields herself
40    45|        equal or more courtesy to pay~The mighty debt that him
41    45|      felon spends, condemning to pay~Life's forfeit with the
42    46|         shore;~So hope withal to pay my promised vow~To one,
