Canto

  1     1|       Charles', the Roman emperor's head~Had vowed due vengeance
  2     1|           mailed, his helmet on his head;~The knight more lightly
  3     1|           points he was, except his head,~And in his better hand
  4     1|         time had eased her drooping head,~Ere, as she weened, a courser'
  5     1|        above an hour, with drooping head,~He rested mute, ere he
  6     1|           peer,~And at his foeman's head each aims his spear.~ ~
  7     1|           met like rams, and butted head to head.~The warlike Saracen'
  8     1|            rams, and butted head to head.~The warlike Saracen's ill-fated
  9     2|          giddy rings;~And drops his head beneath his spreading chest,~
 10     3|             palm beside.~And on her head, lest spirit should invade,~
 11     3|           upon the rash contriver's head;~And so each stratagem of
 12     4|            grassy mead~Had laid her head, than wheeling widely round,~
 13     4|        there hope of ransom for her head,~Unless to her defence some
 14     4|          knight,~To say what on her head such evil drew;~And, to
 15     5|            a woman rears,~Or of her head would harm a single hair.~
 16     5|           faithful pillow layed her head!~She beat her bosom, and
 17     5|          Then saw it first upon his head replaced;~So that he good
 18     6|            he scanned~Some with the head of cat, and some of ape;~
 19     6|         hound, in neck and ears and head,~Bayed at the gallant Child
 20     7|            end, to take her haughty head;~To him an easy task; for
 21     7|         twas her, Rogero raised his head:~He thinks he hears; but
 22     7|            And made all false, from head to food, appear.~None of
 23     7|          clothed with hair Alcina's head;~Her stature reached not
 24     8|          gift are due,~Whence on my head does every mischief fall.~
 25     8|          morn, where I shall lay my head at night.~If thou hast ravished
 26     9|      applied~Behind the stripling's head the ponderous blade,~Of
 27     9|           on the crest~Smote at his head so well, he cleft it through;~
 28    10|             verge anew,~Tossing her head, with hair dishevelled,
 29    10|         flag, the savage squadron's head,~Who means with Moorish
 30    10|         animal exprest,~Save in the head, with eyes and teeth of
 31    11|            two-handed mace upon his head~Should fall, with which
 32    11|             their yelps to turn his head,~The clamour of the churls
 33    11|             But knew not that, from head to foot, a skin~More hard
 34    11|           the land is left a living head.~ ~ LIV~As if the mighty

 36    11|            heats his golden arrow's head~At her bright eyes, then
 37    11|           the beauteous whole, from head to feet,~In her all loveliness
 38    12|         erthrew.~ ~ XXX~Helm on the head and corselet on the breast~

 42    12|             thou wouldst quake from head to feet;~Nor only wouldst

 57    14|     Mandricardo, armed from foot to head,~Leapt on the steed and
 58    14|             eye-balls humbly in her head;~And such benign and modest
 59    14|       replied~Than signing with his head that he obeyed:~(And took

 72    15|             in the dust to find his head;~But when he heard the charger
 73    15|             This while the wizard's head Astolpho eyes~From poll
 74    15|            by the nose, the severed head,~Close-sheared it all, behind

 90    18|     Lurcanio loves, a blow~Upon his head behind the Scotchman speeds;~

 93    18|             made the hair on many a head~Bristle, though she was
 94    18|         anchor, westward turned the head~Of the good ship, and all

 98    19|             with its crown Medoro's head entwine.~She had upon her
 99    19|         bold countenance and little head,~And beauteous points, and
100    19|         shorn of arms, and there of head, they bleed;~And other in
101    19|          the maid,~That breast, and head, and arms together fell,~
102    19|            it is, I hardly can make head~Against his deadly blows."
103    20|            female band have made me head;~And so would make another
104    20|            one on scaffold lost his head.~Now these ten warriors
105    20|          appeared, amid the throng,~Head of a squad above a hundred
106    20|             many an arm, and many a head;~And one lies crippled,
107    21|              XLIX~"One blow divided head and neck; for nought~Was

109    22|             the noise and lifts his head,~And, when he sees his mighty
110    22|             and noted how his giddy head~Was formed by Logistilla
111    22|     screaming loud, nor ever making head~Against the damsel, through
112    22|          and, if I lie,~Off with my head, for I consent to die."~ ~
113    23|           from the helm uncased his head to view;~So that when of
114    23|        thrown back, over Frontino's head,~The courser's gilded reins,
115    23|      feigned surprise, and hung his head,~In fear lest he the assassin
116    23|      Scottish prince, with drooping head,~Is, bound upon a little
117    23|         doleful prince upraised his head,~And, having better heard
118    23|            thicket of the crew:~One head in twain he severed with
119    23|          amorous fire, from foot to head.~ ~ LXV~From quickly clipping
120    23|            Perused the paladin from head to feet;~Then finding all
121    23|       Orlando, all this while, from head to feet,~Searches the paynim
122    23|           my oath I made~When on my head I placed this morion:~Which
123    23|          courser, when he found~His head delivered from the guiding
124    23|            and shame, had saved his head,~What time he roved the
125    23|         single stroke, lopt off the head;~When, satiate with innumerable
126    23|             the wretched sufferer's head,~That oft the ungrateful
127    24|        shepherd, and plucks off his head;~And this as easily as one

129    24|      faulchion would have cleft his head.~The king, without delay,

132    24|             light.~The croupe, with head reversed, the Sarzan king~

135    25|         with cloven limbs or broken head.~ ~ XII~As while at feed,
136    25|              XIII~Rogero smites the head from six or four,~Who in
137    25|            wounded by a Moor~In the head (a story tedious to recite)~
138    25|           that ill cut which in her head she bore:~Hence, shorn,
139    25|            from the main~His yellow head, and lights the world again.~ ~
140    25|           Disarming me herself from head to heel.~ ~ LV~"Then, ordering
141    25|        perceive what blame upon his head~Would light, if Agramant
142    26|             teeth of wolf, an ass's head and crest,~A carcass with
143    26|            him, from dragon-feet to head,~The wicked Typheus seems
144    26|           drive this folly from thy head,~It shall appear how much
145    26|          her might, stroke upon his head.~ ~ CXIX~Rodomont o'er the
146    26|          strife, and combat on that head;~And that there was no place,
147    26|          And, cleft like stalk, his head on earth had laid,~Had he
148    27|             Charlemagne, except his head,~And, girt with paladins,
149    27|         hand, espied,~And some with head or throat with life-blood

151    27|             her back, and arms, and head he plies:~His mercy with
152    27| passing-valiant queen:~With helm on head, where, mid the highest
153    27|           before the Moorish army's head,~To him with haughty mien
154    27|         what was established on his head~Should not be changed, to
155    27|             So well one story in my head imprest,~It could not be
156    28|             seem deep-buried in his head,~His nose seems grown --
157    28|           or ever, venge him on his head:~Moreover him he bound to
158    28|           shame had fallen upon his head,~At least he was not single;
159    28|           He against every wall his head would smite --~Would cry
160    28|          LXXXVIII~Rather within his head or heart always~Care sits;
161    29|           makes the paynim take her head,~Rather than he his wicked
162    29|          shapeless jelly, heels and head.~ ~ VII~He fell into the
163    29|          they fill,~Each reveller's head is whirling like a mill.~ ~
164    29|          will I anoint myself, from head~Downwards below the naked
165    29|             and hand,~That her fair head, erewhile Love's place of
166    29|          brought that building to a head~When thitherward the crazed
167    29|             brain in poor Orlando's head was stowed,~Called to the
168    29|       shoulders hoped to cleave his head,~But found the madman's
169    29|                Smote on his horse's head, a fearful blow;~And, with

172    30|            pain he can no more make head,~Yields to his rage, and
173    30|             levels at that rustic's head,~And splits the solid bone,
174    30|             that horse~Scarcely the head above the wave is seen:~
175    30|         than e'er.~As Mandricardo's head he aims his blade,~But such
176    30|           the rein:~Thrice with his head he threats to smite the
177    30|             two,~Lies buried in the head the trenchant brand,~The
178    30|        earth reversed,~And from his head a stream of life-blood burst.~ ~

223    41|           dye,~And Roland, all from head to foot espied,~After such
224    41|         unstained and dry,~Thinking head, breast, and belly to divide,~
225    41|           widely from the warrior's head~A stream of life-blood dyes
226    42|         with helm loosened form his head,~With half a shield and
227    42|          just~Where with the helmed head confined the bust.~ ~ IX~
228    42|           and descries~Brandimart's head by that destructive brand~
229    42|             lidless eyes are in her head:~She cannot close them,
230    42|            the draught,~Raising his head the stranger knight espied,~
231    42|           dames her poet's honoured head.~The first of these her
232    42|             not who has them on his head.~ ~ CI~"If certain of thy
233    43|             Nor ever can uplift his head again."~ ~ IX~Meanwhile
234    43|           woe~The argument and very head will show.~ ~ XI~"Above,
235    43|             let couriers have their head:~If, unpersuaded still by
236    43|            as he reclines his weary head,~Asleep is Mount Albano'
237    43|        castles of Tealdo,~Again his head uplifts the good Rinaldo.~ ~
238    43|            of need;~And so upon his head this ruin brought,~Ah! would
239    43|            broken spine or battered head:~With body crooked and crushed
240    43|             beholds their comrade's head.~Thence to embrace bold
241    43|            have caught,~And with my head, as with a buckler, stayed:~
242    44|            chivalry~They, more than head o'ertops the foot, surmount;~
243    44|        belief, this error, from his head~To drive, comfort on the
244    44|             host hath hitherto made head;~But when they see their
245    45|           We so much sooner see his head below~His heels; and he
246    45|            remaining shorter by the head.~Nor long before the great
247    45|            withdraws his glittering head,~The shadows lengthen, causing
248    45|          gold eagle with its double head~He blazoned on the crimson
249    45|             Which stormed about his head, and breast, and flank.~ ~
250    45|           high,~Which good Rogero's head and bosom batter,~And arms,
251    45|              she was taken; and his head~Phoebus was now about to
252    45|            next his helmet from his head withdrew,~And kiss'd him
253    45|                 Bradamant drops her head, nor treats as vain,~Nor
254    46|          ground again.~With helm on head, and with his faulchion
255    46|            feign;~And from Rogero's head the helm withdrew;~And to
256    46|         unhappy duke, the Insubri's head;~In peace they sit in council
257    46|            his horse, nor bowed~His head; and, without sign of reverence
258    46|          lord;~Then hurled him down head foremost on the sward.~ ~
259    46|         King Rodomont~With battered head and spine the champion smote,~
