14019 | And afterwards whom sawest thou there?" |
14019 | And on all possessions of men would seize; But in whom doth he trust for feats like these?" |
14019 | And whom sawest thou afterwards?" |
14019 | And whom sawest thou there afterwards?" |
14019 | Apulia-- Calabria-- all subdued, Unto England crossed he the salt sea rude, Won for Saint Peter his tribute fee; But what in our marches maketh he?" |
14019 | As the Franks the other ten descry,"What dark disaster,"they said,"is nigh? |
14019 | CCXV"Dear Roland, and was this thy fate? |
14019 | CLI"Ah, why on me doth thine anger fall?" |
14019 | CLXIII But what availeth? |
14019 | CXLII Count Roland Olivier bespake:"Sir comrade, dost thou my thought partake? |
14019 | Have I struck thee, brother? |
14019 | Have you, then, forgotten Roland''s pride, Which I marvel God should so long abide, How he captured Noples without your hest? |
14019 | He would sound all day for a single hare:''Tis a jest with him and his fellows there; For who would battle against him dare? |
14019 | Hostages asks he? |
14019 | Is it time to fight with a truncheon now? |
14019 | Karl the Mighty may weep and wail; What skilleth sorrow, if succour fail? |
14019 | LII Then did the king on his treasurer call,"My gifts for Karl, are they ready all?" |
14019 | On him the choice for the rear- guard fell, And where is baron could speed so well? |
14019 | Ride onward-- wherefore this chill delay? |
14019 | Roland marvelled at such a blow, And thus bespake him soft and low:"Hast thou done it, my comrade, wittingly? |
14019 | Roland who loves thee so dear, am I, Thou hast no quarrel with me to seek?" |
14019 | Speak, my brother, thy counsel lend,-- How unto Karl shall we tidings send?" |
14019 | Steel and iron such strife may claim; Where is thy sword, Hauteclere by name, With its crystal pommel and golden guard?" |
14019 | The king asked tidings of her and said, while announcing himself:"Shall I have an hour of dalliance with thee?" |
14019 | Then said Conaire on the Road of Cualu:"whither shall we go tonight?" |
14019 | Thick calf- bottoms( ankles?) |
14019 | To head my vanguard, who then were best?" |
14019 | To sorrow sorrow must succeed; My hosts to battle who shall lead, When the mighty captain is overthrown?'' |
14019 | Were he hurt in fight, who would then survive? |
14019 | What doom shall now our peers betide?" |
14019 | What is thy name, O woman?" |
14019 | What sawest thou there after that?" |
14019 | What then? |
14019 | Where art thou? |
14019 | Who are yon, O Fer rogain?" |
14019 | Who has chanted that lay?" |
14019 | Who will follow them and tell them to come towards me in my track?" |
14019 | Why tell the rest? |
14019 | XLV"Speak, then, and tell me, Sir Ganelon, How may Roland to death be done?" |
14019 | XLVII What said they more? |
14019 | XVII"Lords my barons, who then were best In Saragossa to do our hest?" |
14019 | XVIII"Lords my barons, whom send we, then, To Saragossa, the Saracen den?" |
14019 | XXVI The Emperor reached him his right- hand glove; Gan for his office had scanty love; As he bent him forward, it fell to ground:"God, what is this?" |
14019 | XXVII"Sire,"he said,"let me wend my way; Since go I must, what boots delay?" |
14019 | deem''st thou, dastard, of dastard race, That I shall drop the glove in place, As in sight of Karl thou didst the mace?" |
14019 | he cried in pain:"The Archbishop where, and Olivier, Gerein and his brother in arms, Gerier? |
14019 | said Roland,"is this the end Of all thy prowess, my gentle friend? |
14019 | said Roland,"what makest thou? |
14019 | says Conaire,"what is this?" |
8072 | ''What art thou, horrid form that rid''st the air? 8072 Ah, mother, why dost thou thus trifle with me? |
8072 | Am I not alive? |
8072 | Art thou divine, or human? |
8072 | Barons,said Carle,"whom shall I leave in charge of these deep defiles and narrow passes?" |
8072 | But what shall I call thee, maiden? 8072 Can it be Heaven,"said Nisus then,"That lends such warmth to hearts of men, Or passion surging past control That plays the god to each one''s soul? |
8072 | Comrade, where is thy sword, thy Halteclere? |
8072 | Comrades,he cried,"do you remember our promises to our king? |
8072 | Euryalus, my chiefest care, Where left I you, unhappy? 8072 Hast thou seen my sister?" |
8072 | How can it gain dominion, and keep it when gained? 8072 How shall I approach the chief?" |
8072 | My lords, whom shall we send to meet Marsile at Saragossa? |
8072 | Not one except yourselves knoweth my secret; Ye, my affectionate and faithful servants, What remedy can ye now devise for my ease? 8072 Shalt thou escape, decked out with Pallas''s spoils? |
8072 | Should I receive as a gift from thee what I myself could command if I so desired? 8072 Sir, how came you hither, where none who ventures alone escapes alive? |
8072 | Think''st thou not I recognized thee? 8072 Thinkest thou we need to fear with two such allies?" |
8072 | Was the blow meant for me, my comrade? |
8072 | What boot our gifts, King Etzel? 8072 What can save us?" |
8072 | What hast thou to do with my hunger? |
8072 | What is mundane glory? |
8072 | What men be ye who hither come? |
8072 | What violence or what chance led thee so wide From Campaldino,I of him inquired,"That''s still unknown thy burial- place retired?" |
8072 | What,thought he,"can he mean? |
8072 | When hope is gone, what is there left to fear? 8072 Where is Roland, my betrothed?" |
8072 | Who has dared move my bed? |
8072 | Why not sit and eat? |
8072 | Why sank I not in ocean,( was her cry),"When first I reared my sail upon the main?" |
8072 | Why shouldst thou weep, sister dear? 8072 Why stoppest thou here?" |
8072 | Would you, Thrones and Imperial Powers,he cried,"think to build up a kingdom here, secure from the arm of Heaven? |
8072 | Yet what can wealth do without these? |
8072 | ''Has one weak reign so corrupted you?'' |
8072 | ''Have you so soon forgotten our brave sires? |
8072 | ''Who art thou?'' |
8072 | ******* Loud o''er the din of battle stout Gernot shouted then,"How now, right noble Rüdeger? |
8072 | --Who is there, that has power to tell aright The gentle Isabella''s doleful mood? |
8072 | A goddess, a nymph? |
8072 | Alas? |
8072 | Alike, all wretched they, as I-- ah, whose this triple deed of blood? |
8072 | Am I mad that I should voluntarily leave my pleasant home and dare the terrors of an unknown sea? |
8072 | And if I haste to the worst that can be, why shouldest thou go so slowly to the best? |
8072 | And what slighter recompense could he expect from men who could return nothing else?" |
8072 | And whither hath not the fame of Troy penetrated? |
8072 | And who the herb, the wholesome root, or wild fruit from the wood shall bring? |
8072 | At the lone midnight had I come to draw the river''s limpid flood, And here am struck to death, by whom? |
8072 | But seek, I pray thee, some way to thy presence; For what converse can we hold, I on the ground, and thou on the terrace?" |
8072 | But what avails? |
8072 | But what canst thou, a lowly carpenter''s son, accomplish without aid? |
8072 | But where were Draupadi and the gallant princes, her husbands? |
8072 | But wherefore thus of guiltlessness debate? |
8072 | But who can deceive a lover? |
8072 | By this, thy fatal shaft, this one, three miserable victims fall, The sire, the mother, and the son-- ah why? |
8072 | Came they not with the rest From pleasant Lacedaemon to the war? |
8072 | Can Truth''s own light thy loveliness outshine? |
8072 | Does not our love restrain thee, and the thought that I shall surely die when thou art gone? |
8072 | Dost thou grant this?" |
8072 | Doubtless he takes his sport now with his peers; And who''neath Heav''n would dare attack Rollánd? |
8072 | Father, what ails thee, say?'' |
8072 | For who the herbs will now supply,--the roots, the fruit, their blameless food?'' |
8072 | Had I only been created a lower Power!--But even then, might not some higher one have led me into temptation? |
8072 | Hath Yudhi- sthira vanquished self, to melt With one pure passion at the door of bliss? |
8072 | Have you lost all reverence for your father, That whom his own parent cast from his bosom, Him will you receive into yours? |
8072 | He answers brief:"Your pleas are naught: Firm stands the purpose of my thought: Come, stir we: why so slow?" |
8072 | He longed to escape, but how leave the unhappy Dido? |
8072 | How lull the guards, or by what process speed The sacred Image from its vaulted cell? |
8072 | How then hath the revelation come down upon him? |
8072 | How through the open door you rushed, across the court- yard flew; How sprawling in your terror on the wine- press beam you lay? |
8072 | In jest or earnest, say, Have I offended you? |
8072 | In these my babes shalt thou thine image see, And, still tremendous, hurl thy rage on me? |
8072 | Is it not a rank injustice that you should be forbidden to taste it and to lack the Knowledge of Good and Evil which it would give you? |
8072 | Is this then the Zal, the nursling of a bird? |
8072 | Is to die so wretched a thing? |
8072 | Let soul and body perish now; life why should I prolong, Conquered and captive at the hands of such an ill- breeched throng?" |
8072 | Must friend with friend do battle, nor heaven the conflict part?" |
8072 | My Cid lay sleeping when you saw the unchained lion near; What did you do, Ferrando, then, in your agony of fear? |
8072 | My truth-- my God- giv''n innocence-- must they be both forgot? |
8072 | Nay, sire, ride on apace; Why do you halt? |
8072 | Or have ye chosen this place After the toil of battle to repose Your wearied virtue, for the ease you find To slumber here, as in the vales of Heaven? |
8072 | Or hear''st thou rather pure Ethereal stream, Whose fountain who shall tell? |
8072 | Or of the Eternal coeternal beam May I express thee unblamed? |
8072 | Or, having crossed the deep in their goodships, Shun they to fight among the valiant ones Of Greece, because of my reproach and shame?" |
8072 | Our Trojan comrades, one and all, Cry loud, Aeneas to recall, And where, they say, the men to go And let him of our peril know? |
8072 | Plunge through the spears that line the wood, And death and glory win with blood? |
8072 | Rollánd asked Olivier--"Why show to me Your anger, friend?" |
8072 | Say, with thyself who else his ill- timed zeal allied?" |
8072 | Shall I look on, and let you go Alone to venture''mid the foe? |
8072 | Since the Savior seemed to prefer a contemplative life, why should he not seek that seat of learning? |
8072 | Stay''st thou for this, who did not stay for them,-- Draupadi, Bhima?" |
8072 | Suppose I reject both riches and realms? |
8072 | That sightless pair, for many a day, from me their scanty food have earned; What lot is theirs when I''m away, to the five elements returned? |
8072 | The evening prayer, th''ablution done, the fire adored with worship meet, Who now shall soothe like thee, my son, with fondling hand, my aged feet? |
8072 | The mother''s word was law, but would the gods permit them to share Draupadi? |
8072 | The oak- tree must be felled if the land was to prosper, but who could fell it? |
8072 | The soul can never cease to be; who then can destroy it? |
8072 | The spoil-- who could count it? |
8072 | The youth returns, while thirst of praise Infects him with a strange amaze:"Can Nisus aim at heights so great, Nor take his friend to share his fate? |
8072 | Then Sâvitrî spake sadly:"It is taught Thy messengers are sent to fetch the dying; Why is it, Mightiest, thou art come thyself?" |
8072 | They wept, and spoke my little Anselm:''Pray Why lookest so? |
8072 | This hound hath ate with me, Followed me, loved me; must I leave him now?" |
8072 | This is the condition; Wilt thou fall down and worship me as thy superior lord?" |
8072 | This the old man, white- haired and withered? |
8072 | Thou knowest who I am as I know who thou art; why shouldest thou suggest distrust to me?" |
8072 | Thou knowest; make us know, why hath she failed?" |
8072 | Thus spake she to Rüdeger,"How have we ever yet"Deserv''d that you, good Rüdeger, should make our anguish more? |
8072 | Thy blind old mother, heaven- resigned, within our hermit- dwelling lone, How shall I tend, myself as blind, now all my strength of life is gone? |
8072 | To this the tyrant, now incensed, returned,"Where rests the Image?" |
8072 | To us the blind, the destitute, with helpless hunger perishing? |
8072 | Volscens cries,"Whence come, or whither tend?" |
8072 | Was it for thee to slay thy father''s son? |
8072 | Was it for this he heaped gifts upon us? |
8072 | Was it for this he stirred us up to glorious deeds? |
8072 | Were my eye dazzled by a star, How could it rejoice to gaze even upon the moon? |
8072 | What clue may guide my erring tread This leafy labyrinth back to thread?" |
8072 | What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater? |
8072 | What of it? |
8072 | What promise will ye give me? |
8072 | What return can we make, then, but to think out some slow but sure and sweet revenge? |
8072 | What shall I do, whither shall I fly, to escape infinite wrath, and infinite despair? |
8072 | What should he do? |
8072 | What talk is this about my Cid-- him of Bivar, I mean? |
8072 | What thanks does the victor in countless battles gain? |
8072 | What will ye do for me? |
8072 | When have we found aught but treachery in the Saracen? |
8072 | When we the fourth day''s agony did receive Stretched at my feet himself my Gaddo threw, And said:''My father, canst thou nothing do?'' |
8072 | Whence falleth he?" |
8072 | Whence the harp''s enchanting arches? |
8072 | Whence the necessary harp- pins? |
8072 | Whence the sweetly singing harp- strings? |
8072 | Where can the offence lie? |
8072 | Where wilt thou find authority, where followers? |
8072 | Wherefore falter I, Who strove to stand?" |
8072 | Who are ye?" |
8072 | Who could have guessed the power of the Almighty? |
8072 | Who gave thee the kingdoms of the earth if He did not? |
8072 | Who in Heaven is willing to make the sacrifice?" |
8072 | Who now,''neath the dark wood by night, a pious reader shall be heard? |
8072 | Whose honeyed voice my ear delight with th''holy Veda''s living word? |
8072 | Why did you carry with you brides ye loved not, treacherous curs? |
8072 | Why doth she fail? |
8072 | Why have ye laid my heartstrings bare? |
8072 | Why may not I clasp thy loved hands and exchange true words with thee?" |
8072 | Why regret that thou hast at last forgotten Sichaeus? |
8072 | Why tear their flesh in Corpes wood with saddle- girths and spurs, And leave them to the beasts of prey? |
8072 | Why the long way thou hast begun, without one gentle word to me? |
8072 | Will you not silent keep that mouth where truth was never found? |
8072 | Wouldst thou behold the mild radiance of the moon? |
8072 | Wouldst thou inhale delightful odors? |
8072 | Yet why repine? |
8072 | You are a craven at the core; tall, handsome, as you stand: How dare you talk as now you talk, you tongue without a hand? |
8072 | ah whose this wrongful deed of blood? |
8072 | and oh, what crime has won This death? |
8072 | asked her tempter,"and have I not eaten of it? |
8072 | can it be That one exalted should seem pitiless? |
8072 | cried Rustem;"what hast thou done? |
8072 | didst thou think to escape from me? |
8072 | is death so dear, Or am I so ill able to sustain A mortal''s wrath, that thou must needs appear? |
8072 | she inquired,"hunting the boar, wrapped in a spotted lynx hide, her quiver at her back?" |
8072 | the lion scare have you forgotten too? |
8072 | was it, my lord, for this We gave him all he asked us? |
8072 | was the like ever seen? |
8072 | what boots it now? |
8072 | what cruel man is he? |
8072 | what excuse, what answer do ye make? |
8072 | what force employ To rescue the beloved boy? |
8072 | what rewards so great, For worth like yours to compensate? |
8072 | where? |
8072 | who are ye?" |
8072 | why art thou broke? |
8072 | with anger art thou moved, that not a word thou wilt bestow?'' |
