XIISo turned her horse into the gloomy chase,And drove him through rough path and tangled allyAnd oftentimes bent back her bloodless face,And saw Rinaldo from each thicket sally.Nor flying long had urged the frantic race,Before she met a hermit in a valley.Devotion in his aspect was expressed,And his long beard descended on his breast. N.B. VIIITouched with the sanctifying thoughts which waitOn worthy spirit in a holy place,She prays with eager lips, and heart elate,To the Disposer of all earthly grace:And, kneeling, hears a secret wicket grateIn the opposing wall; whence, face to face,A woman issuing forth, the maid addresses,Barefoot, ungirt, and with dishevelled tresses.

XIXSo, passing where the prompt Bayardo stood,Leaps on his back, and leaves, as swift as wind,Without farewell, his rival in the wood;Much less invites him to a seat behind.The goaded charger, in his heat of blood,Forces whate'er his eager course confined,Ditch, river, tangled thorn, or marble block;He swims the river, and he clears the rock. LXXVThe severed end she to the count commended,Then, grasping it, hung down that entrance steep.With her feet foremost, by her arms suspended:When asking if she had the skill to leap,The traitor, with a laugh, his hands extended.And plunged his helpless prey into the deep. By. XXIXThe watchful mariners, in wary sort,Haul down the mainsail, and attempt to wear;And would put back in panic to the port,Whence, in ill hour, they loosed with little care.-- "Not so," exclaims the wind, and stops them short,"So poor a penance will not pay the dare. XVI"In courtesy," he cried, "let either showWhat his foe's death to either can avail,And what the guerdon conquest will bestowOn him who in the battle shall prevail,If Roland, though he has not struck a blow,Or snapt in fight a single link of mail,To Paris-town conveys the damsel gay,Who has engaged you in this bitter fray.

XXIThe peer's proposal pleased the paynim well.And so their hot contention was foregone;And such fair truce replaced that discord fell,So mutual wrongs forgot and mischief done;That for departure seated in his sell,On foot the Spaniard left not Aymon's son;But him to mount his courser's crupper prayed;And both united chased the royal maid. XLI"Thought which now makes me burn, now freeze with hate,Which gnaws my heart and rankles at its root!What's left to me," he said, "arrived too late,While one more favoured bears away the fruit?Bare words and looks scarce cheered my hopeless state,And the prime spoils reward another's suit.Then since for me nor fruit nor blossom hangs,Why should I longer pine in hopeless pangs? La presente tesis defiende una lectura del Orlando furioso de Ludovico Ariosto como un texto eminentemente cómico y ambivalente, en el que confluye la tradición medieval con la renacentista. This work is a continuation of the "Orlando Innamorato" of MatteoMaria Boiardo, which was left unfinished upon the author's deathin 1494. XXXVIII"The robber, whether he were man or shade,Or goblin damned to everlasting woe,As soon as he beheld my dear-loved maid,Like falcon, who, descending, aims its blow,Sank in a thought and rose; and soaring, laidHands on his prize, and snatched her from below.So quick the rape, that all appeared a dream,Until I heard in air the damsel's scream. XVWhether it be the native operationO certain stones, to shine like torch i' the dark,Or whether force of spell or fumigation,(A guess that seems to come more near the mark)Or sign made under mystic constellation,The blaze that came from the sepulchral arkDiscovered sculpture, colour, gems, and gilding,And whatsoever else adorned the building.

I will pluck the fresh and morning rose,Which, should I tarry, may be overblown.To woman, (this my own experience shows),No deed more sweet or welcome can be done.Then, whatsoever scorn the damsel shows,Though she awhile may weep and make her moan,I will, unchecked by anger, false or true,Or sharp repulse, my bold design pursue.".

XXIThis done, into the church she called the maid,Where she had drawn a magic ring, as wideAs might contain the damsel, prostrate laid;With the full measure of a palm beside.And on her head, lest spirit should invade,A pentacle for more assurance tied.So bade her hold her peace, and stand and look,Then read, and schooled the demons from her book.

LI"The wizard on Gradasso breaks his spear,He wounds the empty air, with fury vain.This in the feathered monster breeds no fear;Who to a distance shifts, and swoops again.While that encounter made the Alfana rear,Thrown back upon her haunches, on the plain.The Alfana that the Indian monarch rode,The fairest was that ever man bestrode. LII"Up to the starry sphere with swift ascentThe wizard soars, then pounces from the sky,And strikes the young Rogero, who, intentUpon Gradasso, deems no danger nigh.Beneath the wizard's blow the warrior bent,Which made some deal his generous courser ply;And when to smite the shifting foe he turned,Him in the sky, and out of reach discerned.

'Twas there her limbs the weary damsel spread,Her eye-balls bathed in slumber's balmy dew.But little time had eased her drooping head,Ere, as she weened, a courser's tramp she knew.Softly she rises, and the river near,Armed cap-a-pie, beholds a cavalier.

XLVIf any ask who made this sorrowing,And pour'd into the stream so many tears,I answer, it was fair Circassia's king,That Sacripant, oppressed with amorous cares.Love is the source from which his troubles spring,The sole occasion of his pains and fears;And he to her a lover's service paid,Now well remembered by the royal maid. 0000020734 00000 n false and cruel Fortune!

XXXVIUrged by the passion lodged in every breast,A restless curiosity to knowOf others' cares, the gentle maid addressedThe knight, and sought the occasion of his woe.And he to her his secret grief confessed,Won by her gentle speech and courteous show,And by that gallant bearing, which at sight,Prepared who saw her for nimble knight.

XIVHere stood the fierce Ferrau in grisly plight,Begrimed with dust, and bathed with sweat and bloodWho lately had withdrawn him from the fight,To rest and drink at that refreshing flood:But there had tarried in his own despite,Since bending from the bank, in hasty mood,He dropped his helmet in the crystal tide,And vainly to regain the treasure tried.
