Canto

  1     1|    madness and rank fury fell,~A man esteemed so wise in former
  2     1|   whatsoever grace~It found with man or heaven; bloom, beauty,
  3     1|        one sign of the afflicted man's disease~Is to give ready
  4     1|           On panting hackney! -- man and horse appear~With the
  5     1|        sight,~Sounding in arms a man on foot espies,~And glows
  6     2|          robber, whether he were man or shade,~Or goblin damned
  7     2|        Nor sign, nor vestiges of man were near.~At last a dark
  8     2|        The fairest was that ever man bestrode.~ ~ LII~"Up to
  9     3|        mountains inaccessible to man:~And they all day toil on,
 10     3|        thou may'st recognise the man, in height~Less than six
 11     3|       Thy conversation with this man shall turn~Upon enchantment,
 12     4|        or stair,~Which furnished man the means to climb the hill.~
 13     4|     deems it foul, with blood of man to stain~Unarmed and of
 14     4|    Against the foe, who seemed a man, arrayed~In arms, with him
 15     4|      fast the foe.~That wretched man, the volume by whose aid~
 16     4|          be explored,~In which a man might prove, by dangerous
 17     4|      high~Her state, who takes a man into her bed,~Except her
 18     4|      more, she may caress;~While man to sin with whom he will
 19     5|          shed,~That still 'twixt man and wife, with rage possessed,~
 20     5|       knife or noose prepare,~No man appears to me, though such
 21     5|        All times have shown that man has still pursued~With hair,
 22     5|        and see, but do not prove~Man's faith, nor is his bosom'
 23     5|          of my suit:~And let the man who proves least favoured,
 24     5|          his good brother, or to man beside,~He from the city
 25     5|     perfidious, foul, ungrateful man,~At length suspicious of
 26     5|     safety bear,~And to the evil man its opposite.~But first,
 27     6|             I~Wretched that evil man who lives in trust~His secret
 28     6|          art, be good,~Spirit of man, or goddess of the wood!~ ~
 29     6|    differ, and in art~And wit of man an equal difference lies,~
 30     7|      fragile rest~Which quickens man when he in earth is laid,~
 31     8|          Who for their love make man or woman glow,~Changing
 32     8|        short,~If she with mortal man is pleased to sport.~ ~
 33     9|        kin were slaughtered to a man.~ ~ XXVIII~"Besides, that
 34     9|        plight~That me to wedlock man should woo in vain,~Till
 35     9|      foes demand:~But, when this man and that by speech and dress~
 36    10|          certain could appear~To man, though he her open heart
 37    10|    afford me aid?~ ~ XXVIII~"Nor man I see, nor see I work, which
 38    10|         I work, which shows~That man inhabits in this isle; nor

 43    12|         from the fight.~Here one man speeds afoot, one gallops
 44    13|      scaped the main.~ ~ XXII~"A man of Scotland he, Almonio

 52    15|           and, it was said,~That man to slay the felon had no
