Canto

 1     1|     music with the stones, and please the ear.~ ~ XXXVI~Weening
 2     1|    ready faith to things which please.~ ~ LVII~"If good Anglante'
 3     2|    favourite feat?~Why does it please thee so, perfidious lord,~
 4     5|       beside.~ ~ XV~"I, who to please him was entirely bent,~Who
 5     5|        compass my design would please;~And, if not in effect,
 6     5|      king, and of his land,~To please so well that monarch, as
 7     5| purpose may fulfill;~And if it please, my proof I can impart.'~
 8     6|       said: 'So you my lodging please to grace,~Sir cavalier,
 9    10|    much the prudent Logistilla please,~And she commanded he should
10    10|       time,~When it may better please, my tedious rhyme.~ ~
11    16|        eyes and lovely tresses please:~Beneath which beauties
12    17|  nought be wanting which might please;~And chearfully the guests,
13    17|        favour shows, intent to please,~As might have honoured
14    19|    everything which best would please,~As thine I shall appay
15    20|      ten supply the place,~And please a hundred women, grant him
16    20|        CXXV~"If this condition please not, other course~Which
17    20|     her guide,~Wherever it may please the dame to ride."~ ~ CXXVI~"
18    20|     The dame, wherever she may please to wend."~ ~ CXXIX~Without
19    23|   posts than one.~If thou wilt please to hear, my oath I made~
20    27|       offer which could better please~At present" (made reply
21    28|       languishes; nor pastimes please~That melancholy man; nor
22    28|    Then only, when disposed to please the fair --~Will we in peace
23    30|    Gibraltar's bay, or (if you please)~Say Gibletar's; for either
24    30|     how that goodly gift would please.~No more of this: parforce
25    31|        understand:~Then, as it please, afoot or on thy steed,~
26    32|  fealty shake."~This seemed to please the mournful lady more~Than
27    32|  overlikely was those kings to please;~For cold and peevish blew
28    32|        Nor any, saving Yseult, please his sight,~Nor other dame
29    38|      the rest are dead.~May it please Heaven no further loss ensue!~
30    38|     pleases but yourself, will please the foe.~ ~ LXI~"But, if,
31    38|        If you that other canto please to hear.~ ~ ~
32    42|    will make you see what must please~A wight" (pursued the stranger) "
33    43|         without thee, that can please.~If still with thee in tempest
34    45|       addrest,~Which seemed to please the goodly courser best.~ ~
