Canto

 1    11|       Next in a damsel, whom a giant bears~Beneath his arm, his
 2    11|    regard nor grace.~The one a giant was of haughty cheer,~And
 3    11|    Should fall, with which the giant still offended: --~On the
 4    11|        a two-handed stroke the giant made~Upon the lesser warrior'
 5    11|         to deal her death, the giant hies:~So that, advancing
 6    11|      But with such strides the giant scours the plain,~Him with
 7    12|       his steed,~Following the giant and the dame who fled,~He
 8    12|         if I rightly read.~The giant through the golden portal
 9    12|    gallery spies;~Nor sees the giant or the lady more,~And vainly
10    13|    seemed the thrall~Of an ill giant, him had through the door~
11    14|      train,~Who might almost a giant's stature vaunt;~Next they
12    14|     Almontes meet,~With Oran's giant king, to swell the train:~
13    15|    bloody seat,~Where dwells a giant, horrible to sight,~Exceeding
14    15|        understands;~And so the giant scares him with his cries,~
15    15|     Rather for this I seek the giant's cave.~ ~  XLVII~"I with
16    15|       That I remain alive, the giant dead,~Secure for thousands
17    15|        doth lie,~Barred by the giant's solitary den~Cut off from
18    15|    head of bear;~So showed the giant those of greatest note,~
19    15|    below~The sand, the griesly giant had designed;~As others
20    15|        this need:~It smote the giant's heart with such affright,~
21    15|   engine sprung: fast flew~The giant, -- as if heart as well
22    15|      peer, victorious o'er~The giant, whom he led a captive,
23    15|  LXXVII~Here they bid bind the giant on the green,~Fast-tethered
24    15|      collect, and lay~Upon the giant's back the bulky load,~Who
25    15| conveyed;~So monstrous was the giant, and next gave~The net,
26    22|      his wont appear;~To one a giant, and to one a hind,~To other
27    27|     western sun,~Is lodged the giant monarch of Argier;~And him
28    32|   addrest:~Whom from a furious giant, in her need,~Short time
29    33|    endless pain --~Lies on the giant's belly, arms, and breast:~
30    35|        in affray,~Conquers the giant monarch of Argier,~And of
