Canto

 1     2|        saddle lightened of Mount Alban's knight;~Who then on foot
 2     4|         monks and abbot to Mount Alban's peer~A goodly welcome
 3     4|          approaching, sues Mount Alban's knight,~To say what on
 4     5|       The porter opened to Mount Alban's lord,~And straight behind
 5     6|       XLII~"To aid me swam Mount Alban's cavalier,~And was nigh
 6    18|      game,~And him who had Mount Alban in command;~And ever, night
 7    18|      blade.~Save Dardinel, Mount Alban's cavalier,~Saw none, nor
 8    18|     youthful king assailed Mount Alban's lord.~ ~ CLI~Upon all
 9    23|     forego,~That it may to Mount Alban be consigned:~And she for
10    23|        gear~And courser to Mount Alban to convey.~For on her heart,
11    23|       And to the lady like Mount Alban showed;~And was Mount Alban
12    23|      Alban showed;~And was Mount Alban sure; in which repair~One
13    23|       steed,~Resolved upon Mount Alban's castle near;~And, for
14    23|      course;~And next into Mount Alban, side by side,~They, communing
15    23|      into her care,~And to Mount Alban sent; and had him dight,~
16    25|       she reached that day~Mount Alban; we who for her absence
17    26|              LVIII~"I from Mount Alban with a courser sped;~(So
18    26|           And, were she in Mount Alban -- or where'er --~Vowed
19    26| messenger to ride~Till she Mount Alban reached at evening-tide.~ ~
20    30|      With tidings of her love to Alban's Mount,~To her Hippalca
21    30|          reason too why to Mount Alban's hold~Rogero had not come,
22    30|         word and letter to Mount Alban bore.~This while unceasing
23    30|          This moves her in Mount Alban's keep to stay;~Nor ever
24    30|          and fears, and in Mount Alban stayed;~And close and anxious
25    30|              XC~This while Mount Alban's prince and castellain,~
26    30|           and harboured in Mount Alban's hall,~Until he there embrace
27    30|         no more~Rinaldo in Mount Alban's castle stayed:~With him
28    31|      shall stay."~So spake Mount Alban's lord; and to his band,~
29    31|           Nor in that lord Mount Alban's chief descried,~In warfare
30    31|      swords.~ ~ XXVI~He of Mount Alban is the first to say,~They
31    31|          speed,~Where lies Mount Alban's troop in chosen post.~
32    31|      brethren know as well Mount Alban's knight,~And give the warlike
33    31|      into the Moorish foe,~Mount Alban's champion, leading the
34    31|         up on end,~Hearing Mount Alban's and Rinaldo's cry~From
35    31|          speed,~Drawn from Mount Alban and the townships nigh~--
36    31|        is as near~As swift Mount Alban's lord is nigh at hand.~
37    31|        were slaughtered by Mount Alban's crew,~-- The fierce seven
38    31|        when he hears it is Mount Alban's knight~By whom assailed
39    31|       for that good steed, Mount Alban's pride.~ ~ XCII~Hence had
40    31|       that Gradasso learns Mount Alban's peer~Is he, that storms
41    31|         sue,~A prisoner to Mount Alban's valiant lord,~Rinaldo
42    42|         fair hope consoled Mount Alban's knight,~He should be able
