Canto

 1     4| Esteemed as fair, the wretched damsels round,~(And all in fact
 2     6|      white;~So lovely were the damsels, and so rare~Their garb,
 3     6|    with shame,~Thanked the two damsels for their gentle feat;~And
 4     6| constant smile,~Troop boys and damsels: One, whose fountains flow,~
 5     6|      wizard flew,~The friendly damsels to a youth consigned,~Who
 6     7|    poisonous toad.~Her the two damsels to the cavalier~Before the
 7     8|        usage bred;~That of the damsels held most fair of face,~
 8     8|      necessity;~And while they damsels from without purveyed,~Spared
 9    10|       the third of those three damsels fair.~ ~ XLI~As loud as
10    11|     Where the fell orc so many damsels slew;~Olympia frees, and
11    17|      did pine,~Above all other damsels fair and bright,~The king
12    19|   night~In bed should with ten damsels take delight.~ ~ LVIII~And
13    19|       the city go,~And see the damsels, as they forward fare,~Ride
14    20|       are the best~And fairest damsels in this kingdom bred:~These
15    20|   following night,~Against ten damsels naked and alone;~When so
16    25|     partake her bed.~ ~ LVIII~"Damsels and dames withdrawn -- with
17    32|       castellain,~To house two damsels were a thing unmeet;~One
18    36|     Child amazed~And those two damsels mighty marvel raised.~ ~
19    36|        was said,~Between those damsels, who at last agree;~And
20    37|         Attract Rogero and the damsels two.~They find Ulania, with
21    37|     immortalize.~Had those two damsels in this art been read,~Their
22    37|      thitherward he with those damsels made,~Prompt, if 'twere
23    37|        Sitting, those mournful damsels kept concealed.~ ~ XXVIII~
24    37|        Disturbed the Child and damsels' placid air~And beauteous
25    37|        comrades by those other damsels two.~ ~ XXXIV~To gentle
26    37|    show.~ ~ XXXVII~The martial damsels bid for Ulany,~And those
27    37|   Asked young Rogero and those damsels twain,~And prayed she would
28    37|     and so that gentle pair~Of damsels filled with fiercer choler
29    37|        nook:~Which pleased the damsels and the youthful peer;~Who
30    37|       And young Rogero and the damsels twain~Can scarce defend
31    37|    Thence young Rogero and the damsels twain~Towards his rock-built
32    37|   Beside a church, the martial damsels twain~Behold a pillar, standing
33    37|    which evermore offends.~The damsels seek the camp; to Arles
34    38|       friendship formed -- the damsels two --~Thither together
35    39|      with a sigh, return those damsels two,~When they the paynim
36    39|       hands of those redoubted damsels twain),~Signs even to this
37    44|     and gorgeous band~Of noble damsels, upon either hand.~ ~ XXIX~
38    46|       The pale-faced dames and damsels troop, in guise~Of pigeons
