 2     3|         brother dead, the Insubri sway.~Lo! Albertazo! by whose
 3     5|           heart, how absolute his sway!~Since this he owned, and
 4     5|           felt the good Bayardo's sway,)~And he who hears the courser
 5     8|         Fortune! who believed thy sway~Was of such passing power
 6    12|          his ensanguined blade to sway~Till living wight remained
 7    14|      faithless found, against thy sway~A hundred shall throughout
 8    14|       shield; and with two-handed sway~Wielding his sword, duke
 9    15|      spreads the ancient empire's sway,~So on the sea, which severs
10    17|       nations that have owned thy sway.~ ~ LXXVII~If fear of famishing
11    18|          The city of Jerusalem to sway,~And now these five, in
12    19|     impious women rule with civil sway,~With Marphisa strives in
13    19|          our sovereign, and shall sway~The land, and you may homeward
14    20|       declare if women there bear sway~O'er men, as men o'er them
15    20|        their households sovereign sway.~ ~ XVI~"Youthful and passing
16    20|        male sex may not usurp the sway,~It is enacted by the statute
17    20|          prince and guide, should sway,~And his ten consorts at
18    20|       maid and comrades with such sway,~Touching their breasts
19    20|        not Bradamant, who used to sway~The land, and had that city
20    22|         prisoners, subject to his sway.~Of these illusions and
21    22|    Fortune, if he leave it in her sway;~To you shall by this joust
22    25|          people to hold sovereign sway;~Nor greater strength nor
23    26|          chains, us Love and Pity sway."~He to that stranger next
24    26| Charlemagne bring all beneath his sway.~So thitherward the twain
25    27|         Agramant, whose sovereign sway~He, as in loyal duty bound,

27    31|          that goodly blade should sway.~Good Brigliador as well,
28    31|         hand of Heaven or Fortune sway)~He first to put the Saracens
29    33|        and all lords that own~Her sway, he into exile seems to
30    33|          Bologna rescues from his sway;~Whither the Bentivogli
31    33|        returns, his own domain to sway.~Lo! while in Italy he leads
32    34|        father brought beneath his sway,~Who never moved a-field
33    37|           all were advised to the sway~And cruel statute of that

37    42|          under Reason's sovereign sway.~Achilles, when, beneath
38    43|           city with his sovereign sway;~Who, following a lost falcon
39    44|         to dispose; so strict his sway;~Nor, saving as he dictates,
