Canto

  1     1|           fatal day,~With his good hand most gainful succour lent,~
  2     1|         strange adventure from his hand.~As soon as seen, the maid
  3     1|            head,~And in his better hand a helmet bore:~The very
  4     1|        grass.~ ~ XXXVII~Behold! at hand a thicket she surveys~Gay
  5     1|            Suffering the spoiler's hand to crop the prize,~Forfeits
  6     1|           lighted, and applied~His hand to seize him by the flowing
  7     1|                LXXVI~With her left hand she takes him by the bit,~
  8     2|          his force.~For voice, nor hand, nor manage, will he stir,~
  9     2|       beast, and springs,~With one hand on the pummel, to the ground;~
 10     2|       Circassa's lord~What valiant hand had stretched him on the
 11     2|         comfort at their captain's hand.~ ~ LXIV~This goodly town,
 12     3|           the ruin with his saving hand;~This in his mother's right
 13     3|       church's banner in his noble hand:~Fair Adria's fief to him
 14     3|           he shall strive in duel, hand to hand,~And gain the praise
 15     3|            strive in duel, hand to hand,~And gain the praise of
 16     3|       quick eye oft glances at his hand;~ ~ LXXVII~Oft glances at
 17     3|         Oft glances at his resless hand, in fear~That he might undetected
 18     4|          ring; and so suspends her hand.~Brunello, off his guard,
 19     4|           She lifts her conquering hand; but in mid space,~When
 20     4|            dismission~Before thine hand the knot of life untie."~
 21     5|          God to dare,~Who his foul hand against a woman rears,~Or
 22     5|            the youth, with liberal hand,~Burghs, baronies, and castles,
 23     5|            accounted worthy of the hand~Of his fair child, espoused
 24     5|         agony~From turning his own hand against his breast.~Had
 25     5|            he well nigh turned~His hand against himself, like him
 26     6|            both for spirit and for hand,~Beat back the billows,
 27     6|        have slain me with his very hand."~ ~ XIII~He, having this
 28     6|         front~Uplifts, and, either hand from gauntlet free,~Now
 29     6|            came,~Who with extended hand the warrior greet.~He, with
 30     7|         than bull, unguided by her hand;~Although upon no bit the
 31     7|       proportion bear,~And a white hand is oftentimes descried,~
 32     7|    interpose between the fruit and hand.~ ~ XXVI~At length, when
 33     7|            declare;~These with her hand, such subtle toil well taught,~
 34     7|        guardian crew,~He, sword in hand, the squadron set upon;~
 35     8|       dismayed,~Little the guiding hand or spur obeyed.~ ~ IX~Constrained
 36     8|            find it mustered to his hand.'~ ~  XXV~So sent through
 37     8|         hermit cites:~And, now his hand upon her moistened face,~
 38     8|         scorn, she smites~With one hand on his breast, and backward
 39     8|        nigh fell into the foeman's hand;~And, but that vows had
 40     8|           place thee in old Namus' hand!~Witless a wrong so crying
 41     8|            ivory,~Which Love's own hand had tinged with native red;~
 42     9|       earth, that propped upon his hand:~They sleep, and many might
 43     9|          ere the month which is at hand"~(The damsel so pursued
 44     9|            the Hibernian monarch's hand,~Who forms a fair armada,
 45     9|       Landriglier past on the left hand,~Orlando's vessel skims
 46     9|    promised him, and he to me, his hand,~On his return, in wedlock'
 47     9|          those weapons, upon every hand!~Which, howsoever thick,
 48     9|         scheme to place her in the hand~Of her foul foe, to have
 49     9|          ready for delivery to his hand;~ ~ LXIII~`And willed the
 50     9|            sees them fly on either hand,~Would fly as well from

 55    10|     ripened corn, wherever envious hand~Of foe amid the grain has
 56    10|          her raiment waving in her hand,~Signed to the frigate to
 57    10|           pray, `on what he had in hand~He would not show his heart

 60    10|            Rogero, from Brunello's hand had rent,~And which, to
 61    11|         Now that she this upon her hand surveys,~She is so full
 62    11|           Hardly believes her very hand and eyes.~Then softly to
 63    11|         Italy and France, on every hand~The cruel art among all
 64    11|           rock as near~As vigorous hand might serve to cast a stone,~
 65    11|           that assail the beast at hand,~Between her and the orc
 66    11|     barbarous islanders, upon that hand,~The men of Ireland, without
 67    11|         turnery,~Or work of better hand and nicer pain.~As well
 68    12|     afterwards, with one in either hand,~Drawn by two dragons, in

186    26|            by the warlike damsel's hand~Are slaughtered and extinguished,
187    26|    Mandricardo stirs, on the other hand,~Another strife; who sees
188    26|   greenwood tree,~Orlando from his hand in fury threw.~The Child,
