Canto

 1     1|       her rapture as the king's surprise~And ecstasy of joy when
 2     5|       should he be assaulted by surprise,~He need not be by fear
 3     6|       the voice, and, in unused surprise,~Stands, when he finds it
 4     6|     false ways, she harm not by surprise.~Perhaps, as faces differ,
 5     7|         had left before,~To his surprise, so foul a dame discerned,~
 6    11|         so full of pleasure and surprise,~She doubts it is a dream,
 7    12|        Reposes, unsuspicious of surprise;~And thinking her the sacred
 8    15|         blew, still watchful of surprise,~Weening to see the engine
 9    15|        thread~For aught, but to surprise that pair in bed.~ ~ LVII~
10    18|       guard the encampment from surprise,~When 'mid the equal intervals,
11    19|    first she opens so,~As might surprise, if naked were the breast:~
12    20| Periling life and limb, when in surprise~They see, now near, the
13    22|     Looks on Rogero in profound surprise~That for so many days that
14    22|     follower true~Gave order to surprise the pair in bed,~And in
15    22|        unless some passing need surprise:~Impassive is the shield
16    23|        wrought.~Zerbino feigned surprise, and hung his head,~In fear
17    24|       save life and honour from surprise;~And keeps a wary eye, and
18    25|    Swoop mid the crowd, and one surprise and rend,~The rest dispersing,
19    25|        she had her, fearless of surprise,~Safe in a solitary place,
20    25|      Easy it were the damsel to surprise;~For as the likeness others
21    26|      had marked his valour with surprise.~ ~ XXIV~As she had Mars
22    27|         But this calamity was a surprise~On Malagigi, through his
23    27|         s cruel slaughter, with surprise,~Anger and rage, is viewed
24    27|      Gradasso bold was taken by surprise,~Not deeming him so furious
25    28|     Gazing on one another, with surprise,~The monarch and Jocundo

27    33|  Appeared as stupefied by their surprise,~Nor to Ulania dared to
28    36|         was the damsel taken by surprise:~Nay, did her best the encounter

30    46|         land shows pleasure and surprise.~There, from those dames
