Canto

 1     2|       safe as if in company~Of thousands, trusting in her single
 2    11|      rope he cannot tear,~With thousands of strange wheels and thousand
 3    12|    swords, his corslet bore~By thousands, and as many pierce his
 4    15|     the giant dead,~Secure for thousands shall I make the ways;~So
 5    15|       The price of slaughtered thousands -- quits his steed.~Yet
 6    16| Saracens and Christians lie~By thousands and by thousands heaped
 7    16|        lie~By thousands and by thousands heaped this while;~And if
 8    16|        for one single perfidy,~Thousands and thousands had betrayed
 9    16|  single perfidy,~Thousands and thousands had betrayed before,~But
10    16|        and just.~While, of the thousands wounded by the Moor,~Is
11    16| doleful sight~Than, 'mid those thousands slain, for all the rest.~
12    18|       Staining the ground with thousands slain or more;~And all the
13    18|       other perfumed plants by thousands fill;~Thyme, marjoram, crocus,
14    20|  before,~Who had unhorsed some thousands in his day:~Now shamed,
15    22|     what availed him more~Than thousands armed) with him his bugle
16    23|      of Paris came:~When, amid thousands by thy hand laid dead,~Scarce
17    24|    bells; with various arms~By thousands, with spontoon, bow, spit,
18    24|      the sky,~Bright flames by thousands and by thousands fly.~ ~
19    24|     flames by thousands and by thousands fly.~ ~ CI~Without once
20    29|      should be thy story rare,~Thousands and thousands of long years
21    29|      story rare,~Thousands and thousands of long years and more!~--
22    33|     have seen, and others, who~Thousands of years ago in honour stood,~
23    34|    sword Alcestes drew;~Though thousands aid the monarch in his need,~
24    35|        mid the nameless swarm,~Thousands and thousands higher rank
25    35|  nameless swarm,~Thousands and thousands higher rank might hold:~
26    38|        the reign,~Has set down thousands, where he tens should write;~
27    38|      our side such slaughtered thousands lie,~Those looked-for are
28    45|     bosom batter,~And arms, by thousands and by thousands fly~Faster
29    45|      arms, by thousands and by thousands fly~Faster than on the sounding
