Canto

  1     1|    strange madness and rank fury fell,~A man esteemed so wise
  2     1|         other when he pushed, in fell despite,~Against the realm
  3     1|      truce replaced that discord fell,~So mutual wrongs forgot
  4     1|   smarting from those strokes so fell and dread.~Yet they together
  5     1|           He, where the treasure fell, descends the brink~Of that
  6     1|        of his bliss, and full of fell despite,~The monarch ill
  7     1|       dead:~The stranger's, too, fell senseless; but perforce~
  8     2|          distant mountain gazed,~Fell senseless; and when I regained
  9     2|             LVII~"This while the fell enchanter, I supposed,~Dragged
 10     2|       hope and they from freedom fell:~And thus I to the turrets,
 11     2|          and splintered where it fell,~It broked her fall, and
 12     3|       Marius, Sylla, Nero, Cajus fell.~And this fifth Azo shall
 13     4|          had prepared for her so fell a doom;~And she began to
 14     5|        As one well suited to his fell despite,~And, bent to take
 15     5|         that passed,~ ~ LII~"And fell into such fit of deep despair,~
 16     5|         And hindered him in that fell agony~From turning his own
 17     5|          Where the two made that fell exchange of blows,~And strove
 18     8|  extremity one day,~That it nigh fell into the foeman's hand;~
 19     9|      That will all speed to that fell island he~Resolved to navigate;
 20     9|         rout one hapless brother fell,~I had dispatched a courier
 21     9|          upon shamble-sill,~Thus fell the ill-starred stripling,
 22    10|    rained like storm, whose fury fell~On all who would Rogero
 23    10|         land and sea was battle, fell~And furious, waged on part
 24    10|         its fangs;~ ~ CIV~So the fell orc Rogero does not smite~
 25    11|         shore repairs,~Where the fell orc so many damsels slew;~
 26    11|     burns to seek Ebuda's island fell,~Whose foul inhabitants
 27    11|      Orlando now secure~That the fell beast his mouth no more
 28    11|   pursued,~Who sent the corsairs fell, which her had born~That
 29    12|     Ferrau, and, after slaughter fell~Amid the paynim host, finds
 30    12|          pass away the influence fell,~-- Influence which him
 31    12|         L~Waxing more fierce and fell the combat rages,~Of fear
 32    13|      gang-board, nor our castles fell;~The bark, in our despite,
 33    13|        its feet.~ ~ XX~"Here the fell tyrant Love, aye prompt
 34    13|         but thy foe, that wizard fell,~Him yet again deprives
 35    14|      that adventure, strange and fell;~A story which breeds terror
 36    14|          from heathen hounds and fell.~And many times and oft,
 37    14|     Anselmo, Prando, and Oldrado fell;~The narrow place and thickly-swarming
 38    15|       last, and from the courser fell.~ ~ LXXXVIII~The duke returns
 39    15|       than all ills, the torment fell,~In that he was ashamed
 40    16|         cold, upon the champaign fell.~ ~ LXII~When him so killed,
 41    16|        horse.~ ~ LXIII~When that fell blow Calamidor espied,~He
 42    17|     XXVII~"But as we scoured the fell Carpathian sea,~With flowing
 43    17|         he no sooner knew~Of the fell orc, and those he made his
 44    17|        or pardon from our tyrant fell:~Buried alive, or bound
 45    17|        him creep into the shaggy fell;~Who was well covered by
 46    17|    pasture to their rock,~By the fell swain who stalked behind
 47    17|        case to cloathe us in the fell,~That he may feel is issueing
 48    17|      cleft the thigh on which it fell.~ ~ CII~He of Seleucia at
 49    17|     casque,~At the same time, so fell a blow addrest,~It would

 52    18|       XXXIV~Her flint and steel, fell Discord, as he said,~Took
 53    18|     Cornish Aramon.~ ~ LIII~Down fell this Aramon, and to afford~
 54    18|     Ariodantes, when his brother fell,~Was grieved; if he with
 55    18|         the dreadful waves which fell;~Never without some hope,
 56    18|        and cold the reeling body fell.~ ~ CLIII~As languishes
 57    18|       holt, of beast and monster fell,~-- A huntress bold -- the
 58    19|       the churl had sped,~Medoro fell as he was wholly dead.~ ~
 59    19|      rage and threat the tempest fell.~And now three days the
 60    19|        two~She drove at once. So fell the overthrow,~And with
 61    19|          head, and arms together fell,~Belly and legs remaining
 62    19|         was opened and no eyelid fell,~Nor breath was drawn, amid
 63    20|          him guardian of Gabrina fell,~From whom he first learns
 64    20|   Orontea, by whom given~Was the fell law, the ruler of the land;~

 66    20|          from his goodly courser fell.~-- In silence to have overpast
 67    20|          cries, in his despair,~"Fell Fortune, with what change
 68    21|          in thought and deed,~So fell a goad no longer would abide;~
 69    21|    rightly could be called; more fell~And cruel than a fury sprung
 70    21|           As it was ordered, all fell out aright,~For seldom ill
 71    21|    design is schemed in vain.~So fell Argaeus by Philander's sword,~
 72    21|       wound a pang so shrewd,~He fell reversed upon his grassy
 73    22|     devouring fire: the four who fell~For impious Pinnabel maintained
 74    22|     broke his bands,~But that he fell into Astolpho's hands.~ ~
 75    22|         who remained on foot, in fell despite,~Greedy of vengeance,
 76    22|       tower maintained the usage fell,~Who there had failed another'
 77    22|          When her a bough, which fell with her, defended~From
 78    22|       from his courser far, last fell outright.~He at the shield
 79    22|          till they to the bottom fell,~By the light, liquid element
 80    22|          s parting thence, where fell~The four good champions
 81    23|       fury falls, so strange and fell,~Which in the world has

 83    23|          at that cruel sight and fell.~ ~ XL~Dead lay Sir Pinnabel,
 84    23|       life, esteemed as dear, --~Fell at Orlando's feet and him
 85    23|        sojourn more accursed and fell,~On that unhappy day, than
 86    23|       Wearied and woe-begone, he fell to ground,~And turned his
 87    24|        by reason of that traitor fell,~I deemed thou never more
 88    24| faithless man alighted, and down fell~Upon his bended knees, and
 89    24|          steed's neck the Tartar fell,~Bent by the weighty blow
 90    24|  happened, that the courser good~Fell in the charge, while fast
 91    24|         bandy cruel war was with fell despite,~Until determined
 92    25|      home or foreign) beast more fell.~Haply with him the earthquake
 93    25|         he began.~ ~ XXVI~"It so fell out, that as my sister through~
 94    26|        battle follows fierce and fell.~Discord goes scattering
 95    26|          s bastard, seems a lion fell;~He, without pause, each
 96    26|   marvels how in vain they never fell.~The iron, smit by Balisarda
 97    26|     encumbered by his steed;~Nor fell the courser through his
 98    26|      enchanted arms like hammers fell:~Enchanted arms both combatants
 99    26|       his haughty pride,~And the fell fight which he had ever
100    26|        and in such sort,~That he fell, helpless, on his better
101    26|      courteous, came;~So that he fell anew beneath the dame.~ ~
102    27|        by the hunter, know~Their fell pursuer covers nought beside.~
103    27|     before his lord till evening fell,~Nor lightly did the king
104    28|       could complain:~For if two fell to every other's share,~
105    28|         mirth her tale had bred,~Fell backwards, both, exhausted
106    29|        dagger drawn, that paynim fell~In fury on all women whomsoe'
107    29|        heels and head.~ ~ VII~He fell into the sea, by one is
108    29|        her own hand, before~That fell barbarian compass his intent;~
109    29|          water rendered him what fell~Achilles and what Cygnus
110    29|         was approaching with the fell intent~Him into that deep
111    29|       ass upon a mountain-summit fell,~Which rose above a mile
112    29|          upon the sand that lady fell.~ ~ LXVI~If but two inches
113    30|         the river's other margin fell;~At leisure may'st thou
114    30|        as little say what sorrow fell~Upon Gradasso, on the other
115    30|         career;~For two or three fell flaming from on high,~Which
116    30|      nigh slain.~By one of those fell blows which either knight~
117    30|        Raged wounded lion, as in fell despite~Raged Mandricardo,
118    30|       the saddle's plated pommel fell;~Nor yet its double steel
119    30|          through.~Astound Rogero fell, on earth reversed,~And
120    30|          seen the fruits of that fell strife,~Already has ensured
121    31|          as he was of magic art.~Fell wound, which, more than
122    31|          bitter blow;~I speak of fell and cruel tidings brought~
123    31|        sable weed,~With force so fell, that he the youth extends~
124    31|          cruel strokes well nigh fell harmless all.~Both blindly
125    31|        Describing how the paynim fell reversed,~To his great peril,
126    31|          fearful pass, where one~Fell prone parforce into the
127    31|    assigned to end their discord fell:~But all was marred by Malagigi'
128    32|     human sins of deepest dye~Be fell ingratitude; if doomed to
129    32|        wintry gale,~And now fast fell the rain; yet, forced to
130    32|        Sir Tristram talks, while fell despair~Aye racks the houseless
131    32|         storied wall and ceiling fell.~What followed shall another
132    34|        feet the doleful cavalier~Fell down, and snatched a poniard
133    34|         in strife,~With the same fell design upon his life.~ ~
134    34|           That twice and more in fell and impious strife~The count
135    35|    cavalier,~The second for that fell encounter stood,~Such favour
136    36|        farms and pleasant places fell.~ ~ IV~Though a foul vengeance

138    36|           ere, astound,~Marphisa fell, reversed upon the ground.~ ~
139    36|   started from the plain,~Intent fell mischief with her sword
140    36|          either host~Kindled the fell and sanguinary fray.~The
141    36|        spear, that she, astound,~Fell backward on the champaigne
142    36|        pitch of fury wrought~The fell Marphisa's angry passions
143    36|        so Rogero smote, it never fell~Upon its edge or point,
144    36|        and still their influence fell~Was ended, laboured to avert
145    36|       uncle, sire, and grandsire fell,~In treacherous wise, the
146    37|         cruel we sustain,~As our fell tyrant pleases to ordain.~ ~
147    37|       born,~Us in this place the fell barbarian sties,~Having
148    37|     felon knight) than whom more fell~Nero was not, nor other
149    37|          bring with me,~Who this fell impious monster, in his
150    37|          sustain~Encounter of so fell and fierce a sort;~Who held
151    37|      That on his horse's neck he fell half dead.~ ~ CI~The maid
152    37|       shall ill receive.~To view fell Marganor's disastrous fall,~
153    38|       strait entrance breaks~The fell and furious Auster, when
154    39|          fleet.~ ~ ~ I~Than that fell woe which on Rogero weighs~
155    39|     unwary guise,~Has chanced on fell and poisonous snake to tread,~
156    39|          dealt so furious and so fell a wound,~With his clenched
157    39|      fist, that pale the marquis fell;~And purple streams from
158    39|  upstarted Oliviero, who~By that fell fistycuff on earth was flung;~
159    40|        of tempest on the Nubians fell,~Which plank and beam from
160    40|        amid that slaughter wide,~Fell Bucifaro of the paynim band;~
161    40|         monarch cried:~"I see so fell and fierce a tempest form,~
162    41|          oars are broken; and so fell and fast~That tempest pelts,
163    41|        sides that wintry tempest fell.~Now to their sight so high
164    41|       The field appointed for so fell a fight.~ ~ XXXVI~Orlando
165    41|          but that upon his brows~Fell the dread faulchion of Anglantes'
166    41|         the good sword, as if it fell upon~Its flat, rebounds
167    41|         thick, was broke by that fell blow~And cleft; and with
168    42|          cruel outrage, foul and fell,~Done by that band before,
169    42|    freezing fear,~As haply never fell on other wight;~Yet wonted
170    42|         a moment to that monster fell~To strike one stroke in
171    43|      word, by eating, disobeyed,~Fell into sorrow from felicity,~
172    43|       sire, or scarce behind him fell.~ ~ XIX~"With genius high
173    43|       our judge the lot of envoy fell:~O day, that ever wept by
174    43|       had trapped that bird;~Who fell into the net wherein the
175    43|          vain!~Ah! what designs, fell Fortune, dost thou break!~
176    43|       beside the rugged rock and fell:~The marquis there, with
177    43|      conversion no less gladness fell~On Roland and each Christian
178    44|         are by Fortune false and fell,~What friendship is they
179    45|    sister she, by grief opprest,~Fell down before him; and with
180    45|         Grecian gore,~Bears that fell man; and like a reckless
181    45|         her prowess in the field fell short;~Not only had his
182    45|      signal bared her brand,~And fell on her Rogero, sword in
183    45|        in that combat fierce and fell~Such force and quickness
184    46|       Roland and Rinaldo on them fell,~Though they were calmed
185    46|       tales report,~This plunder fell to Menelaus' share,~Wherewith
186    46|         of Ptolemy,~To Cleopatra fell; from her in fray~Agrippa'
187    46|       her, when on the bridge he fell,~Never to clothe himself
188    46|       Through force or skill, so fell the Moorish lord,~He stood
189    46|     match, I rather ought to say~Fell on his feet; because Rogero'
190    46|        might;~And on his kneepan fell the paynim knight.~ ~ CXXXI~
