Canto

 1     1|     his head;~The knight more lightly through the forest hies~
 2     1|    whose branches play,~Moved lightly by the freshening breeze
 3     5|    posted in that place,~Were lightly cheated by the lying show.~
 4     6|    And, with a joyous murmur, lightly stir~The lofty top of beech,
 5     9|       who note~The deed, leap lightly up and cut his throat.~ ~
 6     9|  other guise,~Would have, and lightly hopes his end to gain;~Nor
 7     9|    But Roland would not be so lightly bought;~Like them by the
 8    10|    flying courser's rein,~And lightly with the rowels touched
 9    12|      they~To welcome him rise lightly form their seat,~And with
10    15|    earthly peer,~And moves so lightly, that the soft sand shows~
11    16|    and turban's twisted band.~Lightly such drapery good Rinaldo
12    17|     high admiral obeyed.~This lightly at the shock on earth was
13    19|       s blade,~That falls not lightly of her warlike foe.~Equal
14    21|  suited with her fickle vein,~Lightly to change her love into
15    24|       will bring the peer~Who lightly for a pleasure, rash and
16    24|       The stirrups quits, and lightly from the sell~Is freed,
17    26|        prompt for fight,~Rose lightly from the herbage which they
18    27|   lord till evening fell,~Nor lightly did the king that courser
19    27|    mourn:~"O female mind! how lightly ebbs and flows~Your fickle
20    27|    mood,~That you at least so lightly should not veer:~Nor am
21    29|    fluctuate!~All thoughts we lightly change, but mostly when~
22    29|   does so o'errun,~Reject not lightly a perpetual grace,~A real
23    31|   done,~Armed as he is, leaps lightly on his steed,~And takes
24    32|       thee repent?~If held so lightly be a breach of vow --~Beneath
25    32|   deems, all else excell.~-- `Lightly I hold your proof of valour
26    35|    dextrous was, and could so lightly go,~He picked a path along
27    35|     another courser left,~And lightly went his way, of arms bereft.~ ~
28    38| loving, will he anger so,~Not lightly she her hatred will forego.~ ~
29    41|     as he vows,~He swims more lightly and his vigour grows.~ ~
