  4     I|      suburbs first flat with the earth he plained,~And burnt their
  5    II|          O only worthy, whom the earth all fears,~High God defend
  6    II|     seems,~Who climbeth high, on earth he hardest lights,~And lowest
  7   III|     Inglorious, bleeding lay, on earth full low:~ ~ XLII~Nor had

  9   III|         thee, here laid to rest,~Earth is thy bed, and not the
 10    IV|      they sit,~Between the solid earth and welkin flit.~ ~ XIX~
 11    IV|        is thy immortal fame,~The earth, thy worth, thy foe, thy
 12    IV|         shadows dim~Obscured the earth I should depart with him.~ ~
 13    IV|       find~The gentlest heart on earth is proved unkind.~ ~ LXXI~"
 14     V|     sword there hung;~Among this earth's brave lords and mighty
 15     V|       intercession:~But when the earth was once of light deprived,~
 16     V|      When at his feet herself to earth she cast,~"The hour is come,
 17     V|    mantle spread,~And filled the earth with silence, shade and
 18    VI|          When night obscured the earth with shadows brown;~Their
 19    VI|      tender side gainst the hard earth he cast,~Shamed, with the
 20    VI|       their swords and soon from earth up start.~ ~ XLII~Close
 21    VI|        he layeth,~That skies and earth the flying sparkles fired;~
 22    VI|     plate and mail.~That, on the earth; on that, their warm blood
 23   VII|  unthankful knight,~That when to earth the man his eyes shall bend,~
 24   VII|     burned,~That cleared all the earth and all the sky;~The castle
 25   VII|         dead or fled;~But whe'er earth's centre or the deep sea
 26   VII|          At once made heaven and earth with darkness blind,~And
 27  VIII|          sound,~Which deafed the earth, and tremble made the ground.~ ~
 28  VIII|         s curtain black upon the earth was spread,~And through
 29  VIII|          air, heaven's frost and earth's cold grass.~ ~ XXVII~"
 30  VIII|     swallow them why cleaves not earth asunder?~ ~ LXVII~"They
 31    IX|          Warm drops of blood, on earth's black visage shed,~Supplied
 32    IX|     ghosts and fairies yell,~The earth was filled with devils,
 33    IX|       them forbear to infect the earth and air;~To darken heaven'
 34    IX|         eyes outrun~Beguiled the earth and all her sable things;~
 35    IX|         his new-come frosts;~The earth delivered from so foul annoy,~
 36    IX|          head fell down upon the earth below,~And soiled with dust
 37    IX|           and with his teeth the earth he tore,~Raging in death,
 38    IX|           To wound the senseless earth that feels no sore!~But
 39     X|          her shade aloft~And all earth's colors strange in sables
 40     X|      silence deep~Did heaven and earth hushed, still, and quiet
 41     X|       which ride,~And heaven and earth without, all clear beside.~ ~
 42     X|         ere he left the fight to earth them brought.~And in their
 43    XI|       blow, yet with the fall~On earth sore bruised the man lay
 44    XI|           So many ladders to the earth they threw,~That well they
 45    XI|      face enrolled,~Trembled the earth whereon the worthies stamp,~
 46    XI|          cloudy wings did on the earth display,~Her quiet shades
 47   XII|       weakened bulwarks, late to earth down kest,~Their rampiers
 48   XII|          swords, whose points in earth were pight,~When day-break,
 49   XII|         doth stretch,~And low on earth the wounded damsel layeth,~
 50  XIII|         er the more~The trees to earth with cutting steel to bring:~
 51  XIII|           When night on all this earth spread forth her wing,~And
 52  XIII|   westward thrice,~He struck the earth thrice with his charmed
 53  XIII|          impressions through the earth and skies,~The growing heat
 54  XIII|        While thus he bent gainst earth his scorching rays,~He burnt
 55  XIII|          herbs all parched were,~Earth cleft in rifts, in floods
 56  XIII|        gold,~Nor to refresh, sad earth, thy thirsty sprite,~The
 57  XIII|         LXIV~Thus languished the earth, in this estate~Lay woful
 58  XIII|     still,~Trembled the air, the earth and ocean quake,~Spring,
 59  XIII|      Helias prayed,~Not from dry earth exhaled by Phoebus' beams,~
 60  XIII|           and hereof drinks,~But earth itself weak, feeble, faint
 61  XIII|      flowers, in grass.~ ~ LXXIX~Earth, like the patient was, whose
 62   XIV|         whose Godhead heaven and earth doth sway,~In his eternal
 63   XIV|         all the forms in sea, in earth or air,~The signs in heaven,
 64   XIV|        bend thine eyes on yonder earth and mould,~All in that mass,
 65   XIV|          doth our pride contain,~Earth like an isle amid the water
 66   XIV|        he smiled,~He saw at once earth, sea, flood, castle, town,~
 67   XIV|        cutting steel shall he to earth down hew,~And thy weak armies
 68   XIV|        thence to moisten all the earth he brings~Seas, rivers,
 69   XIV|            quoth he,~"Of fertile earth, the nurse of all things
 70   XIV|          the bolt he strikes the earth below,~How comate, crinite,
 71   XIV|         wrought,~Fire, air, sea, earth, man, beast, sprite, place
 72   XIV|         precious vein~Of wealthy earth, and hid from mortal eyes,~
 73    XV|          a calm clearness on the earth his love.~ ~ X~By Ascalon
 74    XV|       But if the sea in midst of earth was great,~Oh what was this,
 75    XV|        Oh what was this, wherein earth hath her seat?~ ~ XXIV~Now
 76    XV|       stone or tree,~Some to the earth, the sun, or morning star;~
 77    XV|          with the sun~About this earth, this globe, this compass,
 78    XV|    liberal,~That without tillage earth gives corn for food,~And
 79    XV|       dainty food~That sea, that earth, or liquid air could give,~
 80   XVI|          all the gentle trees on earth that grew,~It seemed the
 81   XVI|      fain,~And oft he wished the earth or ocean wide~Would swallow
 82   XVI|          oft thou shaken hast to earth full low~With thy sharp
 83   XVI|    thereof now die,~From all the earth where I am known and kenned,~
 84   XVI|          were,~But in a swoon on earth outstretched she lies,~Stiff
 85   XVI|        this spiteful knight,~Not earth's low centre, nor sea's
 86  XVII|         he stayed.~ ~ XXXVIII~To earth he cast his eyes, and bent
 87  XVII|          colors hid of things in earth or sky,~Nor could they house,
 88  XVII|        wicked bands~That sea and earth invest with blood and war,~
 89 XVIII| Lightened the heavens above, the earth below~Roared loud, that
 90 XVIII|        care he took,~Till low to earth the wounded tree down bended;~
 91 XVIII|        rays glad Phoebus shines,~Earth laughs for joy, the streams
 92   XIX|       where her lord for dead on earth doth lie;~First she laments,
 93   XIX|         own weight o'erthrown to earth thou went,~Argantes stout,
 94   XIX|          by his side~Laid low on earth, that all fled from the
 95   XIX|        dark shades to shroud the earth begun,~Within the town the
 96   XIX|        Her eyes Armida lift from earth at last,~And cleared again
 97    XX|          mist, that overcast~The earth with mirksome clouds and
 98    XX|      faith defend and shield,~To earth these Pagans slain and wounded
 99    XX|          To pray, and kissed the earth, and then up leapt~To fight,
100    XX|          pieces twain, Zopire on earth she laid;~And then Alarco'
101    XX|        slew, or man and beast on earth down laid,~Happy was he
102    XX|        Are strowed wide upon the earth below:~The hosts both clad
103    XX|  squadrons then, whole troops to earth he brought,~Things wondrous,
104    XX|      hardened clay~Plastered the earth, no grass nor green was
105    XX|          embraced,~Bears down to earth his spouse and darling kind~
106    XX|        standard falls, ensign to earth descends;~His fury quiet
