Excerpt from The Orlando Furioso, Vol. 8: Translated Into English Verse From the Italian of Ludovico Ariosto, With Notes What shall of high and beauteous dames be said? Who (from their lovers' worth and charms secure) Against long service, I behold, more staid, More motionless, than marble shafts, endure Then Avarice comes, Who so her spells hath laid, I see them stoop directly to her lure.
