Canto

 1     1|         be the valiant victor's meed,~Before the event had sprung
 2     1|     shall never be thy glorious meed,~Who flies, while vainly
 3     4|       or glory were his fitting meed.~ ~ LVI~They answered, in
 4     5|         my reward;~The glorious meed of my great merit hear!~
 5     6|        Ariodantes has, a worthy meed,~With his loved bride, the
 6    10|        passing goodness was the meed,~Woman take warning from
 7    10|         thou know;~Now, see the meed thou dost for this bestow!~ ~
 8    11|     whose faith reaped so ill a meed.~ ~  LV~Wretched Olympia;
 9    12|     late with us did ride!~What meed, which worthiest of the
10    15|         him I see Charles other meed supplies;~For he beside
11    16| recompense shall be your worthy meed?~But if, from jealousy or
12    17|      rich device,~They made the meed a thing of passing price.~ ~
13    18|       palace lodged, as fitting meed;~Having the prisoned pair,
14    18|       winning lord were fitting meed.~ ~ CVI~Norandine, sure
15    18|        Gryphon might win either meed.~ ~ CVIII~But from effecting
16    18|         Sansonnet the tourney's meed should gain.~ ~ CXXXIII~
17    20|       unfit for war or worthier meed,~Through blemish, or disease
18    21|         a worthy guerdon is thy meed!~Branded by all men for
19    21|         yet may Heaven deny~Its meed, though ill the world my
20    21|     defraud him of his promised meed;~ ~ LXI~"Seized on his hand,
21    22|         treasons to receive the meed."~ ~ LXXIV~To threaten him
22    23|         another, the remembered meed~As well shall have, and
23    24|     merit blame, but praise and meed.~ ~ XXXII~"The stronger
24    26|       that noble ensign for his meed,~-- That enterprize I ween,
25    29|        where they had hoped the meed of strife,~Had lost their
26    30|        do his vengers, as their meed obtain,~That I, descended
27    32|     rare happiness, ordained~As meed of this fair unless to ensue.~
28    32|          deem I, of my valour's meed~Ye would deprive me, though
29    33|        the conqueror's destined meed,~The battle to suspend,
30    34|         monarch as his wife,~As meed of all that booty made in
31    34|      time to win the wished-for meed;~ ~ XXVIII~"And if my father
32    34|      thereby to purchase future meed --~To greedy prince and
33    41|        defraud the pilot of his meed.~Thou seest that God has
34    43|        will merit punishment or meed?'~ ~ XXVIII~" `A drinking-cup
35    43|       have remembered, gold and meed~Have upon every hardest
36    43|     prepared to render thee the meed~Of benefit then done to
37    44|     heretofore, deny me not its meed;~ ~ LXIX~"And I entreat,
38    46|       its rivals bears away the meed.~ ~ CI~On the last day,
