  1     1|             rhyme.~ ~ V~Roland, who long the lady of Catay,~Angelica,

  3     1|            and the gentle air~Which long had held him fast in Cupid'
  4     1|         After the two had struggled long to throw~Each other in the
  5     1|         that peerless prey:~Else by long toil I see not what we gain~
  6     1|       Ferrau sought vainly, toiling long and sore.~Upon the Spanish
  7     1|            resign,~Which, due to me long since, is justly mine?~ ~
  8     1|            such thy promise) it has long been owed."~ ~ XXIX~Bristled
  9     1|          intends,~Wearied with that long flight and summer's heat.~
 10     1|          what, without~Such chance, long ages had not brought about.~ ~
 11     1|         stead:~For she that king by long experience knew~Above all
 12     1|           and horse appear~With the long journey, weary and forlorn.~
 13     1|            After the woeful warrior long had thought~Upon his cruel
 14     2|           thicket sally.~Nor flying long had urged the frantic race,~
 15     2|       aspect was expressed,~And his long beard descended on his breast.~ ~
 16     2|          the steed thus readily,~So long and vainly followed far
 17     2|         little plain, two bow-shots long.~ ~ XLVIII~"Arrived beneath
 18     2|            regained my sight,~After long time, saw neither knights
 19     2|          and foliage stored,~Lopt a long branch, and shaped it with
 20     2|              The stout elm-bough so long her weight upstayed,~That,
 21     3|            s mould.~And here have I long time awaited thee,~To tell
 22     3|             counsel sought.~ ~ XII~"Long days have passed since I
 23     3|              And in thy progeny and long drawn line~Shall marquises,
 24     3|            that file,~Were task too long; as long to tell each deed~
 25     3|              Were task too long; as long to tell each deed~Achieved
 26     3|             Shall turn fair Italy's long grief to joy;~I speak of
 27     3|              Fair virgin, would too long protract thy stay;~And Phoebus,
 28     3|         steel the ramparts glow:~So long as through deep woods thy
 29     3|        rising sun ascends,~By path, long space obscure on either
 30     4|       combat and defied.~ ~ XVI~Not long within his gate the enchanter
 31     4|           From its now rotted bark, long decayed."~"Prate as thou
 32     4|          Bradamant~Discerns Rogero, long desired and dear;~Who, when
 33     4|            her virgin blood.~'Twere long to tell who launched the
 34     4|            high a strain,~She stood long space amazed, ere she returned~
 35     4|         looks with stedfast eyes~As long as feeble sight can serve
 36     4|            which has been borne too long."~To good Rinaldo's sentence,
 37     5|           made resort;~There served long time the daughter of the
 38     5|          will that she (he will not long delay~To seek her there)
 39     5|            due.~The stranger, after long and earnest prayer,~Lifted
 40     6|     cavalier unknown, I said above,~Long of the king and court entreated
 41     6|       knight to meet --~Ariodantes (long his doubts are weighed)~
 42     6|           the huge bird his pinions long had plied,~In a straight
 43     6|          that fair region, whither, long unspied~Of him, her wayward
 44     6|           him, her wayward mood did long offend,~Whilom in vain,
 45     6|         showed the monster huge and long~-- I said it seemed an island --
 46     6|          giantess in frame;~Who has long poisonous teeth her prey
 47     7|     industrious painter knows,~With long and knotted tresses; to
 48     7|             narrow is, and somedeal long; and where~No knot appears,
 49     7|          times the hour that she~So long retarded his felicity.~ ~
 50     7|          cavalier~Lay, with a heart long torn by Hope and Fear.~ ~
 51     7|          fairest years and best,~In long inaction, afterwards to
 52     7|            Next hid, and watched so long, that she espied~Upon a
 53     7|             arms he were~Too gross, long time unwont the mail to
 54     8|         walled cities lay;~Where in long weariness and fearful doubt,~
 55     8|           Heaven.~ ~ LXXI~All night long counsel of his weary bed,~
 56     9|             that shore:~Since he so long the missing maid pursues,~
 57     9|            A hollow iron, two yards long, whose small~Channel he
 58     9|          this regret outweighed.~-- Long time I muse, and to my misery
 59     9|            Roland waits;~Who with a long and privy circuit wind,~
 60     9|           people one and all: Twere long to tell~How she caressed
 61    10|          Nor yet to gather what too long has hung.~ ~ X~A daughter
 62    10|          sight;~And, if his hope he long deferred, will die:~For
 63    10|        sorrow, which had weighed~So long upon the dame and broke
 64    10|         fraught~With wisdom, and by long experience taught.~ ~ XLV~
 65    10|          think not, sir, that in so long a flight,~The warrior is
 66    10|             As sped by roaring wind long carack steers~From north
 67    10|             himself ashore:~For, if long time the spray so thickly
 68    10|             task appeared to him so long;~For where he loosed one
 69    10|         fastened two.~But, sir, too long continued is this song,~
 70    11|         Rogero, after he had passed~Long space in hope the maid might
 71    11|           from countries round.~Nor long his followers there pursued
 72    11|            the County fares,~When a long cry, entering a forest hoar,~--
 73    12|       pleasing pain, might dwell~So long Rogero, by these walls enclosed,~
 74    12|             of the two to take, and long revolves~This in her doubtful
 75    12|         thought to keep her plunder long.~ ~ LIII~To give it to Orlando
 76    12|          sleep's departure: toiling long and sore~He seeks the damsel

 79    12|         mountain's side.~ ~ XC~By a long flight of steps was the
 80    13|            knight.~ ~ XLVI~The time long past, she, lying in that
 81    13|           from thy root ascend,~Too long my tale would hold, nor
 82    13|             in camp, will shed.~For long wine's savour lingers in
 83    13|          behold.~ ~ LXXIII~" 'Twere long to tell of Alda de Sansogna,~
 84    14|      insensate fly.~ ~ XXXVI~Nor he long was had rode, ere he descried~
 85    14|              How, known by fame, he long had held her dear,~And how
 86    14|             rest;~But with a mantle long and widely spread,~Concealed
 87    14|           And whilom in the schools long time did pass,~With sage
 88    14|             continued sound,~Like a long peal of thunder, shook the
 89    15|      Astolpho left of yore;~Who, in long exile, loathing more to

100    16|            Fortune thus had sported long,~She proved disastrous to

228    37|            made a brave defence and long,~Of wife and life was plundered
229    37|          way,~And to a tempest that long calm gave place.~She thrust

237    39|            Monodantes' household; a long round~To seek his Brandimart
238    39|          the madman view;~That from long self-neglect, while wild
239    39|         than harp upon the theme so long~As to annoy you with a tedious
240    40|          faithful people gazed on a long show,~That night and day,

242    40|          because to France, in that long war,~King Agramant had born
243    40|            Made in triumphal pomp a long display.~The prisoners all

245    41|           how he by his wife should long be sought,~With weary womb,
246    41|        fills;~And Ida, and Ascanius long lamented,)~Till she a child
247    41|       pressed the shore,~And it was long ere he again did rise.~The
248    41|              Sobrino, that on earth long time had lain,~When to himself
249    41|            He sees his leader, with long paces steers~So stealthily,
250    42|          and wounded visage rained,~Long since had fallen, reversed
251    42|              And almost crushed; so long between the plain,~And his
252    42|        mossy urn,~To Angelica, that long had wooed the peer,~Had

256    43|          and charms secure)~Against long service, I behold, more
257    43|            did I rest or rove.~Twas long ere we had any strife; in
258    43|             time is gone;~And I how long it was to her recall,~Since,
259    43|           should dwell;~And for how long a time could none foresee.~

268    43|          and two arrayed,~Behind in long procession took their way;~
269    43|             The ceremonies would be long to say~In verse, wherewith
270    43|         unceasing flow,~And that of long lament she never tires;~

287    46|      nuptial chamber dight;~Whereon long time before she had been
288    46|           before she had been bent:~Long time before desirous of
