Canto

 1     2|   nest;~And since she has not wings to rise and fly,~Runs round
 2     2|     first his balance and his wings,~Running and scarcely rising
 3     2|  courser round,~Who shuts his wings, and falling from the sky,~
 4     3|     befitting words, and lend~Wings to my verse, to soar the
 5     4|  scale the height who has not wings,~And vainly would each painful
 6     4|    bore;~Hight hippogryph. In wings and beak and crest,~Formed
 7     6|  courser furled~His spreading wings, and lighted on the ground,~'
 8     9|    hour to me;~So upon speedy wings the moments flew.~This while,
 9     9|       flies as if equipt with wings.~ ~ LXXIII~From street to
10    10|       hies,~As if on new-born wings, towards his crew;~Who,
11    10|   taught to make him beat his wings and soar,~Here, there, as
12    10|       hawk, which spreads her wings above her nest;~While or
13    10|    yet not shut so close, his wings again,~As he had spread
14    14|   seraphs he; who spreads his wings,~And to the Saviour's feet
15    16|   horse, he seems equipt with wings;~Who, turning swiftly with
16    18|       swell,~Plying her ample wings, Sir Gryphon's name.~Here,
17    22|  course, and as his horse had wings to flee,~Traverses in less
18    23|      saw the rising steed his wings unfold;~Since upon former
19    24|       disengage,~Nor lime his wings, whom Love has made a prize;~
20    27|      wished, like Icarus, for wings in vain,~Having grim death
21    31|   endure;~As if supplied with wings, towards Arles he went,~
22    32| flight intent,~Again I imp my wings, again I soar;~To flame
23    33|        The courser furled his wings and stopt his flight.~But,
24    35|      prest;~As if equipt with wings, his courser fled.~The damsel
25    38|      tame,~And clip my fury's wings; the having heard~Since
26    38|      which, stirring feet and wings,~News of the Nubian monarch'
27    44|       the hippogryph anew his wings expand;~ ~ XXIV~He reached
