Canto

  2     2|         with flowing rein,~Rode, till the royal city rose before~
  3     3|          the great design.~ ~ IV~Till when, this chisel may suffice
  4     3|          the enchanter's corpse, till to the skies~The trumpet
  5     3|          Nor let aught stay thee till the thief be thrown~By thy
  6     3|          woods thy journey lies,~Till, at the sea arrived, I shall
  7     3|          s honest love commends;~Till from the vault goes forth
  8     3|          child, who slumbers not till she~Release her knight,
  9     3|     Release her knight, holds on till even-tide:~'Twas then the
 10     4|          freed,~Who soars in air till he appears a speck,~Mounted
 11     4|          sometimes seen to play;~Till waxing wroth, or weary of
 12     4|        hill to round;~And climb, till to the castle-gate they
 13     4|    Approached, and he stood fast till she was nigh,~Then spread
 14     5|         to my love,~I ceased not till I took him to my bed;~Nor,
 15     5|          with new increase:~Nor, till I compass my desire, will
 16     5|   friendship were the cavaliers,~Till, rivals, they pursued this
 17     5|       not and move not, brother, till I call.'~ ~ XLVI~" `Doubt

 19     6|         Who grisly Death desires till he appear;~But loathes what
 20     6|        awhile designed to dwell;~Till to his ears by rumour should
 21     6|        by the fire beneath;~And, till its prisoned fury find a
 22     6|       strive with word and deed, till thou requite~The service

 27     7|     wonted semblance for a time, till he~Was with his armour,
 28     8|          lone, inhospitable way:~Till he, with labour huge oppressed

 30     8|          fiend perforce~Dragged, till he swam amid the watery

 38     9|       whom I said,~Who moved not till the bridegroom he descried,~
 39     9|         descried,~Yet waited not till he in bed was laid:~But
 40     9|        Condemned to privy death, till then delayed,~Save in that
 41     9|      whom to descend~He will not till she hear that tyrant's end.~ ~
 42     9|     delay~The knight with words, till horse and foot he spied~
 43     9|    another, who appear~Of paste; till six he of the circling band~
 44    10|         his fickle appetite!~Yet till the day prefixed to satisfy~
 45    10|       yet slept the woods among;~Till from her gilded wheels the

 54    12|          wear, a casque.~ ~ XXXI~Till he had that erst wrested
 55    12|         this man let me entreat,~Till I have driven such folly
 56    12|          quite;~Roaming without, till that fine casque I win~Worn
 57    12|         food;~And hence he ever, till the squalid tomb~Covered
 58    12|        the helmet from his head,~Till he between two bridges laid
 59    12|        ensanguined blade to sway~Till living wight remained not

122    22|      pale, and hurrying evermore~Till out of hearing of the horrid
123    22|       dwell,~And stayed with him till broken was the spell.~ ~
124    22|          waited all that day and till the new~Had dawned, when,
125    22|     Rogero looked, and knew what till that day~He had seen not,

173    29|        does so my spirit grieve,~Till I his error teach him, to

244    43|         would she seek her lord, till at his side~She rested from
245    43|     erspread.~So willed Orlando; till he could be laid~In sepulchre
246    43|        Sicily the Count departs,~Till porphyries he procures and
247    43|         she thence will never go~Till from the wearied corse her
248    44|         heir,~Can nought resolve till thither he repair.~ ~ XIV~
249    44|           let the chiefs remain,~Till I conduct Astolpho to that
250    44|     shall save~Me from his fury, till one only plea,~Of mine the
251    44|        LXI~"Rogero, I what I was till death will be;~And be more
252    44|       fleet.~Rogero arrived not, till beneath the sea~The sun
253    45|        in joyful word.~He waited till Rogero sleeping lay;~Then
254    45|        rove from realm to realm, till one afford~Some dame, that
255    45|         and moils without avail,~Till wearied strength and light
256    46|         awhile this deed to shun~Till all that thou canst do shall
257    46|      that did maintain~From dawn till fall of day the furious
258    46|      royal chair to hear,~Hardly till Leo made an ending staid;~
259    46|      wend;~And offers open lists till the ninth day~To whosoever
260    46|   Tiberius heired the loom,~Kept till the time of Constantine
261    46| faulchion nor bestride the sell,~Till he had like an anchoret
