  1     1|         prey:~Else by long toil I see not what we gain~But simple
  2     1|    Sacripant made answer, "As you see,~He threw me here, and went
  3     1|         around;~And shortly after see a steed appear,~With housings
  4     2|           of that valiant maid to see.~And now the panting courier,
  5     3|    minister this earth below,~You see not, Phoebus, in your daily

  7     3|        next, unconquered captain, see,~Whose trophies shall so
  8     3|  Albertazo! by whose rede undone,~See Berengarius banished, and
  9     3|         leaguer break.~ ~ XXVIII~"See Fulke, who to his brother
 10     3|         heirs.~By Parma's walls I see the Germans bleed,~Their
 11     3|           devoted seed.~ ~ XXXII~"See Fulke and Obyson, more Azos,
 12     3|           thousand more.~ ~ XLII~"See Nicholas, whom in his tender
 13     3|         he transcends in worth.~I see this captain, ill bested
 14     3|            the first, the second, see;~To these Alphonso's five
 15     4|       loved some master-stroke to see,~Achieved by lance or sword
 16     4|           still directed were,~To see Rogero from his peril freed:~
 17     4|        away~Resolves, in trust to see his lord again.~The griffin
 18     4|          if through your means he see~His honour raised anew,
 19     5|        bred.~We hear, indeed, and see, but do not prove~Man's
 20     5|         cherished by the dame.~To see another to himself preferred~
 21     5|        gall, he answered, 'When I see~Proofs of thy rare adventure,
 22     5|        false pretence to make him see~What seemed a sheer impossibility.~ ~
 23     5|           taken, make him plainly see~How much it either's safety

 25     6|         he said) I cannot bear to see~Thus by my cause the royal
 26     6|      first sound, Rogero turns to see~Whence came the voice, and,
 27     6|       firs or bays.~These, as you see me changed, Alcina roots;~
 28     6|         thus the bridge and river see,~And at her post the haughty
 29     7|          does the palace, fair to see,~In riches other princely
 30     7|       finger wear,~And thou shalt see the dame, and mark how fair."~ ~
 31     7|       Through her should hear and see the very truth.~ ~ LXVIII~"
 32     8|         with Reason's ring, would see~Each countenance, exposed
 33     8|         the Atlantic shore,~Could see the grisly sight, and choose
 34     9|           three days, the camp to see;~Still seeking nought beside:
 35    10|           taste, touch, hear, and see,~And life and fame, and
 36    10|          does all things hear and see,~The lover, eager his desires
 37    10|        grieve to be;~And mourn to see the fickle love they owed,~
 38    10|        caress her, there are none~See evil in the deed, but rather

 46    10|           these his very soul may see;~His vices and his virtues
 47    10|         His vices and his virtues see expressed.~Hence shall he
 48    10|         his wide extended circuit see,~Inhabiting that horrid,
 49    10|         of Norfolk's gonfalon~You see a lance into three pieces
 50    10|         yonder lodge, the English see~Camped eastward; and now
 51    10|      birds, and many colours gay,~See Alcabrun's, a valiant man
 52    10|           torn by deerhounds two.~See there the Duke of Albany,
 53    10|       green displays a light.~Now see the Irish, next the level

 56    11|    Orlando is no less rejoined to see~The king, than is the king

 62    12|         first chanced the loss to see,~From Roland disengaged
 63    12|        him Orlando turns about to see.~He cuts, and cleaves, and
 64    13|          the sage, all think they see a squire,~Companion, lady-love,
 65    13|         tale would hold, nor do I see~Whom I could pass, where
 66    13|          succession next to her I see,~Lucretia Borgia? who, from
 67    14|         and life held in fear,~We see assured us by this victory,~
 68    14|           world aside,~Designs to see at once, how able were~Those
 69    14|        laments, Granada's dame to see,~If she as beauteous were
 70    14|        forms a golden ring,~As we see summer lightning gleam at
 71    14|        Strange Michael thought to see her there enshrined,~Whom
 72    14|    coiners him you oftentimes may see~Harbour in some obscure
 73    15|        undiscovered way.~Others I see coast Afric, and pursue~
 74    15|         Persian through:~Others I see who leave, on either hand,~
 75    15|       Fixed on the verdant shore; see some upon~The shattered
 76    15|           subdued by Arragon;~And see all, wheresoe'er the warriors
 77    15|     Arragon and Austria's blood I see~On the left bank of Rhine
 78    15|         flower-de-luce of gold;~I see prepared to enter the career~
 79    15|         last to start.~ ~ XXIX~"I see such faith, such valour
 80    15|        the briny flood:~So that I see each continent and isle~
 81    15|           chief, of whom I say,~I see Charles enter fertile Italy,~
 82    15|           honoured name!~To him I see Charles other meed supplies;~
 83    15|           a town, -- a realm -- I see,~Upon a faithful friend,
 84    15|         trapt he had been wont to see,~Brought thither by their
 85    15|           of surprise,~Weening to see the engine sprung: fast
 86    15|     people in tumultuous tide,~To see him drag the unmeasured
 87    15|       steeds.~The duke desired to see the river's fall,~And how
 88    15|         take his life.~ ~ LXVI~To see if he could break the thread
 89    15|            Might think a dream to see him re-unite,~And but return
 90    15|         haste, if he the hair can see~Which makes Orrilo's immortality.~ ~
 91    15|         could that battle's issue see:~Since those kind dames,
 92    16|       that I will return again to see~Two hundred thousand wretched
 93    16|          of ten no better builded see.~ ~ XXVII~Though flames
 94    16|            that all might plainly see and hear;~And cried, "My
 95    16|           Lest this day frustrate see their holy vows;~ ~ XXXV~-- "
 96    16|         curling wreaths of vapour see,~From the red flames which
 97    17|          without the rest I never see)~And on the bosom, flanks,
 98    17|         he came not that joust to see,~Accepts the challenge of
 99    17|          pity moved him more:~You see if he loves well or only
100    17|           make display;~Better to see the martial gallants ride~
101    17|          you Christ's people do I see?~Wherefore are they despoiled
102    17|          weens the mob expects to see him known.~So that it now
103    17|               CIII~Each one might see how much Seleucia's lord~
104    17|           heart,~If I, uninjured, see the wretch again~'Scape,
105    17|     supplies~Why he stays not, to see the recreant shown.~He is
106    18|           to scaith and shame,~To see and hear them ever is your
107    18|          s delight;~The cubs, who see him cresting in his rage,~
108    18|          eyes,~If now we conquer, see the praise, the gain! --~

112    18|   reported to the train,~That, to see truncheons split in contest
113    18|        ever more Biserta hoped to see;~For, with so horrible and
114    19|        within his arms the damsel see!~ ~ XXXIII~To pluck, as
115    19|        middle of the city go,~And see the damsels, as they forward
116    19|       shall appay in this! -- but see,~That ere thou thinkest,
117    19|         they bestow.~He who would see two daring spirits weighed,~
118    19|           light, could either foe see clear~Now to avoid the furious

122    20|       limb, when in surprise~They see, now near, the fire's encircling
123    20|        the following day a castle see,~Within which they are harboured
124    20|           marish: as its end~They see a cavalier towards them
125    21|       desire this ample world may see~That, measured by my deeds,
126    22|   Bradamant should stand apart to see.~ ~ LXIV~The Child demanded
127    23|        the most is ill content~To see the righteous suffer wrongfully,~
128    23|         wont with pleasure aye to see,~But now with more in his

135    23|        thither, all, the cause to see.~-- But I have reached such
136    24|          fit."~-- I answer that I see mine plain enow,~In this
137    24|      render thanks, that Isabel~I see restored to thee, I know
138    24|          man next made the damsel see,~That save in God there
139    24|        Tartar knight,~He made him see, revolving in a ring,~Myriads

142    25|       Hath there been taken, as I see. Ah! why~Was she so hot
143    25|         The visage of Bradamant I see,~The beauteous features
144    25|         which short and loose you see,~In many guise, and hers,

146    25|          am utterly transmewed:~I see, I feel -- yet doubting

153    26|         once more;~And fain would see, according to his word,~
154    27|           storm, that I no refuge see:~Nor these redoubted monarchs
155    27|           besieged they view;~And see the banners shaking in the
156    27|        fault, again his lord will see,~So not to God St. Michael
157    27|          me to martial field;~But see that his consent the Sarzan

178    32|   Brunello's fate wills all shall see~In what esteem he holds
179    32|        she to her window goes,~To see if Tithon's spouse the lily
180    32|        damsel, when 'tis morn,~To see the golden stars the heaven
