Canto

 1     1|      fray.~But counter to his hopes the battle went,~And his
 2     1|     to retrieve, who late his hopes had crossed.~He, where the
 3     2|       floods, and strands,~In hopes to place her in the warrior'
 4     3|    Pinabel the Maganzeze,~Who hopes the damsel's death, whose
 5     5|     seek I more; 'tis here my hopes I bound;~Nor, striving for
 6     5|     you yet are far behind~My hopes, and shall confess your
 7     5|      Your passion, which with hopes and words is fed;~And, more
 8     5|      judge the case;~If empty hopes can with my bliss compare.~
 9     6|      II~The unhappy Polinesso hopes had nursed,~Wholly his secret
10     9|     to circumvent.~ ~ LXIV~He hopes as well, if he the warrior
11     9|       Would have, and lightly hopes his end to gain;~Nor for
12    15|     all things counter to the hopes ensue~Of Agramant upon his
13    15|    tread his native shore;~As hopes to him had given the sober
14    15|       already won;~As he that hopes with small expense of blows~
15    17|   would from her prison flee,~Hopes peace or pardon from our
16    18|       That youth whereon your hopes were wont to feed,~And suffer
17    22|   turning, rolls his eyes,~In hopes to view his well-loved martial
18    23|       her way~She thought, in hopes to find Rogero there:~But,
19    25|   within his bosom stowed;~In hopes to meet next morning by
20    27|    despair,~On all in whom he hopes, for succour cries.~In such
21    27|    woman's treason shun.~Each hopes alike to be that wight preferred,~
22    28|     left himself bestows,~And hopes in turning some relief to
23    29|      would strive;~Because he hopes, if once those crags among,~
24    30|       stubble,~And cheats the hopes of the expecting swain.~
25    30| believe; but hung between~Her hopes and fears, and in Mount
26    31|       every where will go;~In hopes, if he discover him, to
27    32|       and to Montalban's seat~Hopes he by other road his way
28    32|      famous court,~The damsel hopes to find the cavalier,~Who
29    33|     the hospitable cheer;~And hopes that now the foul, rapacious
30    34|   such distress,~And give him hopes he may even yet pretend~
31    40|     offered now; and there~He hopes Gradasso shall his prize
32    41|      is, sans mail and plate,~Hopes in the skiff, a refuge in
33    41|     partners in the fight,~He hopes to make it dark before '
34    41|    the ancient peer.~ ~ XC~He hopes, if him but little he withstood,~
35    41|   haste in suchlike need;~But hopes (his anger puts him so in
36    44|    Charles and Aymon will, he hopes, approve,~And France will
37    44|        In friendly port these hopes appeared to ride,~These
38    44|       appeared to ride,~These hopes a foul and furious wind
39    45|       the knight his own,~And hopes to rank him in his warlike
40    45|  Fears are past and gone, and Hopes return.~Return, alas! return,
