Canto

 1     2|       tale confiding,~Renewed his wonted service to his lord.~Behold
 2     5|       Beneath my bower renews the wonted sign.~ ~ XLVII~"And I in
 3     5|           assayed, with more than wonted glow,~Me to caress, to mask
 4     6|            Not from his cheek the wonted hues depart.~I ween that
 5     7|          age,~Which he was always wonted to revere;~And with that
 6     7|       counselled him, he wore~His wonted semblance for a time, till
 7     9|          lovers, if his brand~And wonted valour fail him not at need.~
 8     9|         is the practised hunter's wonted way,~To circle wood and
 9    13|          robed in purple gown,~On wonted journey white Aurora starts,~
10    13|        and ever worships thee,~As wonted; but thy foe, that wizard
11    14|        runlets in his thirst;~Aye wonted simple water to decline,~
12    15|          tide,~On eastern sea was wonted to appear;~-- And could
13    15|           applied,~Nor failed its wonted virtue in this need:~It
14    17|         solemnity;~-- If 'twere a wonted feast, held every year,~
15    17|       sound,~Upon whose pipes the wonted tune was played,~Calling
16    17|          view,~His armour nor his wonted clothes he saw,~Suspicious
17    21|           who to ride~Thither was wonted, would return again.~All
18    23|          steed;~Which he was ever wonted to hold dear,~Worthily dear;
19    23|      dismayed at his retreat,~And wonted in his succour to confide,~
20    23|    thought:~The tale which he was wonted to repeat~-- Of the two
21    25|          good cheer;~But not with wonted welcome; -- inly moved --~
22    25|      first, to greet~The maid, as wonted courtesies demand;~Next
23    27| tumultuous wise;~And that it is a wonted insult done~By Switzer or
24    27|         To him Sir Rodomont, with wonted pride,~Returned for answer: "
25    27|          the ground.~ ~ CVIII~But wonted anger chasing shame which
26    30|           in haste; with pain~The wonted service of his squires he
27    30|       flew,~Which Jove in air was wonted to sustain;~So hurtled,
28    32|      frame, so stayed,~Beyond the wonted term, his chariot seemed.~
29    32|        Heaven shall circle in its wonted round.~ ~ LVI~"Yet she not
30    33|        heedless of the staff, his wonted stay,~Through joy, with
31    35|         takes upon the bridge his wonted stand;~ ~ XLI~And as the
32    35|      ground.~The golden lance its wonted work has done;~For that
33    35|        tis to thee unknown."~With wonted kindness cried that dame, "
34    35|           led:~But, if I fight as wonted, thou art dead."~ ~ LXX~
35    40|        overthrew,~Then proved his wonted might with faulchion bare;~
36    42|        Fair Bradamant renewed the wonted tale;~She cursed her hard
37    42|          fell on other wight;~Yet wonted daring counterfeits and
38    44|          she hath signified,~With wonted daring armed her heart again;~
39    44|       Bade rein Frontino, and his wonted wear~Exchanged, crest, surcoat
