Canto

 1     1|      Than half-clothed churl to win the cloth of red.~But not
 2     1|        a helmet, be thy task~To win and wear it more to thy
 3     3|     peace, than warlike princes win in fight.~Who struggling
 4     3|    bring;~And he the fief shall win like valiant knight,~Which
 5     3|       Who shall from him Bastia win and slay,~With cruel rage,
 6     3|    counsel and his lance,~Shall win the honours of Romagna's
 7     4|    Meaning by this she hoped to win his treasure.~ ~ X~What
 8     6|        to the rein.~"No, I will win by force the mountain stair,"~
 9     7|       Rogero more~Than that, to win a world's applause, the
10     9| willingness, I feign desire,~To win his grace, and have him
11    12|         till that fine casque I win~Worn by Orlando, Charles'
12    15|     third, who shall the laurel win and hold;~As a good horse
13    18|    errant cavalier to meet,~And win immortal fame by glorious
14    18|        mace, that Gryphon might win either meed.~ ~ CVIII~But
15    20|   possest,~The band resolved to win their liberty;~For never
16    20|       hope: With me you lose or win."~"-- I fear not, I," the
17    20|       remains with me:~But if I win, I give her thee parforce.~
18    21|      force,~Which he expects to win by milder course.~ ~ XLIII~" `
19    26|         In trust that, could he win her in affray,~He would
20    26|  contends:~But learn that I can win in fighting field~From him
21    27|      field.~ ~  LIX~"Prepare to win the sword before thou rear~
22    27|       against King Rodomont.~To win his arms is use of cavalier,~
23    27|     averred,~That knight should win the arms he would assay,~
24    28|        and of manners framed to win;~Whose father at Valencia
25    30|         companion's score~Shall win as well as on his own; and
26    31|  fortune and so rare;~Hoping to win the horse without a peer,~
27    31|      and in his heart secure to win~That battle's honour, wends
28    32|      and vie~In valour, and, to win the lady's smile,~Illustrious
29    32|      monarchs bold,~Resolved to win the buckler, or to die~Beneath
30    33|        in secret said:~ ~ XCIV~"Win him who will, in war and
31    34|         deed,~In little time to win the wished-for meed;~ ~
32    36|        to prevent the youth and win the prize.~ ~ XVII~She leapt
33    37|        shock he thought,~And to win dame and palm in the career;~
34    38|       deem, that he will surely win the day;~Who would prevail (

36    40|     saddle can maintain.~But to win better audience for my rhyme,~
37    41|      Hoping by force thereof to win the shore;~Breast boldly
38    41|      dwell.~ ~ XLIV~"If I shall win or lose, remount my throne,~
39    46|         good Rogero, who should win of right,~Seizing his arm,
