Canto

 1     2|        Sacripant, with well-timed leap,~Is from the fury of Bayardo
 2     2|           if she had the skill to leap,~The traitor, with a laugh,
 3     5|        the watery roar.~I saw him leap, and left him in the sea;~
 4     6|          nimble goat, disporting, leap.~ ~ XXIII~When the hyppogryph
 5     6|       saddle sprung,~He might the leap with little danger dare,~
 6     6| open-mouthed the cumbrous tunnies leap;~Thither the seal or porpus'
 7     8|        mansion fly,~With reaching leap, right, left, and low, and
 8     9|        him; I, who note~The deed, leap lightly up and cut his throat.~ ~
 9    10|       high rock amid the waves to leap.~But from the water lifts
10    10|     forbears with pain~From other leap; but this his arms impede:~
11    11|         was either hook)~But by a leap could reach the highest
12    16|          like so many wolves, who leap~In fury to the assault of
13    17|           blow,~Make their steeds leap and wheel and proudly tread.~
14    18|           sea a ditch too wide to leap.~ ~ LI~"Far better 'tis
15    20|          these, or stage without,~Leap headlong; in the press these
16    26|           to the rein,~Now took a leap, possest by that ill sprite,~
17    26|              CXXX~It was a mighty leap, yet not so wide~As to make
18    26|          for his guide,~After his leap, runs, goaded by the spell~(
19    31|          first nor yet the second leap~Which from the bridge had
20    37|          more,~Made him, one day, leap headlong from a tower,~Who
21    37|         Who never took so still a leap before.~No more of her and
22    39|         Sansonet and Dudon so~All leap to ground, and all together
23    40|         say, into the city took a leap,~Where the town-wall was
24    40|        that without have seen the leap he made,~Too late to save
25    41|         sight so high the billows leap,~It seems that these to
26    41|         deed gainsaid)~And took a leap, and vaulted on his prize.~
