  3     1|       Rinaldo pressed,~Who saw with little fear the champion true.~
  4     1|            slumber's balmy dew.~But little time had eased her drooping

  6     1|          forest through,~A mile, or little less, in furious heat,~Ere
  7     1|            story told,~And left him little gladdened by the tale.~He

  9     2|          ill hour, they loosed with little care.~-- "Not so," exclaims

 13     2| mountain-passes show;~And sure 'tis little loss to lose my pains,~Where
 14     2|         youthful damsel doubts some little space;~Strong in one balance

 19     5|         felt the flame;~And that he little loved, and deeply feigned~
 20     5|        thrive, would interpose some little ease.~Then every time your
 21     5|           to die, in his intent~Was little shaken: Rising thence to

 23     5|            bred~The having seen her little chastity,~He loathed existence,
 24     5|            in pure gentleness, with little care~If what he here maintains
 25     6|              He might the leap with little danger dare,~Rogero lit
 26     6|          sheath,~The vapour, in its little channel pent,~Struggles,
 27     6|         dealt in different measure,~Little or more to some, and much

 30     7|      scattering all his shafts, the little Love,~And seems to plunder

 32     7|           answer sought:~Who on his little finger put the ring,~Whose
 33     8|            whizzing sound dismayed,~Little the guiding hand or spur

223    38|         served to prove~That lady's little wit or little love.~ ~ IV~
224    38|           That lady's little wit or little love.~ ~ IV~For if his life,
225    38|           dismist; so none abide~In little time, except the good and
226    38|          assembled bands among;~For little is the wisdom of that wight,~
227    39|           with him, of the pact has little care;~And would not rate
228    39|         from Monodantes' court~With little Brandimart had taken flight,~
229    39|           Permit the craven to make little way.~But haply, while it
230    40|          Few masons at command, and little space~That monarch had to
231    40|          And, save to fishermen, is little known,~That oftentimes on
232    40|            That where force is not, little profits prayer.~He couched

234    41|             surface from below;~And little distant sees that rock,
235    41|          And, for of harness he had little need,~Charmed, and against
236    41|         scale.~If you be conqueror, little gain ensues,~Yet little
237    41|             little gain ensues,~Yet little loss results not, if you
238    41|           He, in his folly, baptism little prized,~Fears in these bitter

240    41|         cell, on the hill's brow,~A little church receives the rising
241    41|             the forests bear,~Which little distant from Ateste are;~ ~
242    41|            showed that to return he little cared,~-- Nor can return;
243    41|         blade,~That arms against it little shelter were;~And by a person
244    41|           of Sericane,~The king yet little seems his foe to exceed;~
245    41|             XC~He hopes, if him but little he withstood,~He shall be

248    42|           Sobrino yet survived; but little light~The wounded monarch
249    42|          had erred, besought:~Since little lacked, but through the
250    42|        explain~As well their own at little distance stand,~Inscribed
251    43|            ill my death will be,~Of little remnant now of life possest.~
252    43|           comrades in my care,~Some little soothes the griefs that
253    43|             pain,~Her own departure little she delayed;~And went so
254    43|       before the daylight show.~But little time has Aymon's warlike
255    43|             son;~Nor idly will that little time bestow.~To him the
256    43|          try,~My present good would little bettered be:~But small the
257    43|           two~Was, that the husband little wit possest,~Who, wishing
258    43|            on her to do.~Having her little dog at starting hent,~She
259    43|       weighed.~So plain is what was little known before,~He fears that
260    43|         Bastia built, deem I,~Which little cause of boast affords to
261    43|             strives;~And, though by little, there too late arrives.~ ~
262    43|         with a buckler, stayed:~For little ill my dying would have
263    44|     faithless throng.~ ~ III~Though little prone to friendship is that

265    44|            love and fear aside:~But little him Rinaldo's words molest;~
266    45|          immersed in that deep woe,~Little replies; the ensigns he
267    45|           rare~I could reward, thou little cause" (he cried)~"Shouldst
268    45|            by his woe;~Him gone for little time and for disport~Believed,
