Canto

 1     1|     lady taken, we repeat our claim~With naked faulchion to
 2     2|      deeds decide our dubious claim,~With whom the steed or
 3     4|       in harbouring those who claim~Its shelter, warlike knight
 4     4|    praise the lady well might claim,~If manifest were not that
 5     5|   espousal, how~I am about to claim her from my lord:~Then why
 6     5| Heaven, I should respect your claim and place,~Were your condition
 7     6|    England's crown; my lawful claim~After my royal father, Otho
 8     7|   courtiers, conscious of his claim,~Rogero is with proffers
 9    15|    beside his leaders' common claim,~Bestows upon the chief
10    18|    let, at least, an audience claim,~Where still one ear is
11    18|   feeble posts which succours claim;~The rest against the Saracens
12    18|       satisfaction thou canst claim,~Within my power or knowledge,
13    18|    all that valiant man could claim,~Nor could he give the warrior
14    18|    Marphisa, and forewent~Her claim for Gryphon's sake, with
15    20|       satisfied the warrior's claim;~To learn his title she
16    20|      place from women I might claim,~Here gladly entertained,
17    24|      cause I should forego my claim.~ ~ LX~"Take it not thence,"
18    26|      partnership in arms laid claim~With those three warriors,
19    26|    besotted rabble bends)~And claim withal, as to its keeping
20    26|      either still the other's claim withstands,~Nor this the
21    27|     first in listed field his claim should stir.~ ~ XLI~As well
22    27|     way~Usurped that sword; I claim it as my due:~For this my
23    27|    replied,~"For I this field claim justly as my due."~-- "Stand
24    32|   courtesy,~May she a shelter claim in you repair.~But are there
25    40|  could be seen each warrior's claim,~That in confused in combat
26    40|   youth whilere.~They own his claim, and for an embassage~Forthwith
27    43|       on the following day to claim.~ ~ LXXXVIII~"The astrologer
28    44|       And I entreat, before I claim my fee,~That you to me your
29    44|     my kingdom thou should'st claim a share."~ ~ LXX~"The boon
30    44|    they perceive, that in her claim~She for Rogero more than
31    45|   foregone,~No matter who may claim it in the course:~And by
32    45|     combat with the maid will claim,~Under false colours and
33    46|     for his wife:~So comes to claim the guerdon of the strife.~ ~
34    46|     wight~Shall here assert a claim to Bradamant,~Or more desert
