His journey's cause the Grecian prince displayed,
And to dispatch his suit the prayed:
LXIII
To send afield the damsel, who denied
Ever to take in wedlock any lord
Weaker than her: for she should be his bride,
Or he would perish by the lady's sword.
And to dispatch his suit the prayed:
LXIII
To send afield the damsel, who denied
Ever to take in wedlock any lord
Weaker than her: for she should be his bride,
Or he would perish by the lady's sword.
Ariosto - Orlando Furioso - English
