Canto

  1     1|        panic seeks to choose her ground,~Nor open grove prefers
  2     1|       bucklers thrill:~The solid ground, at their encountering,~
  3     1|         is the first to quit his ground, if aught~Angelica of fighting
  4     2|       hand on the pummel, to the ground;~Clear of the restless courser
  5     2|      where one knight an inch of ground has granted,~His foeman'
  6     2|       well trained falcon to the ground,~Who sees the quarry, duck
  7     3|        forewarned, and knows her ground,~Feigns too as well as he,
  8     4|      descending, but to skim the ground:~And of all beauteous women
  9     4|         courser pitched upon the ground.~ ~ XXV~Already cased again,
 10     4|     trophies yet remain upon the ground;~Proof of their valiant
 11     5|  concludes -- `I stand upon this ground,~Nor I intruder fear, encroaching
 12     5|     stripes of gold upon a snowy ground,~My tresses gathered in

 14     6|        wings, and lighted on the ground,~'Mid cultivated plain,
 15     6|       this hour a single span of ground~Would Logistilla (such her
 16     6|    appears like gold from top to ground.~Here some one says it is
 17     8|        falconer from his back to ground did spring,~And freed him
 18     8|           it behoves me shift my ground,~Like him that makes the
 19     9|        skilful surgeon tries his ground,~Where need requires that
 20     9|         thunder from before; the ground~Shakes under foot and city
 21     9|         when Orlando touched the ground, to view~He rose with doubled
 22     9|        flame, as well as burning ground,~Firm walls are split, and
 23    10|     falls, all-trembling, on the ground, and lies~With face than
 24    10|      with pious lore;~And on dry ground now landed, made repair~
 25    10|   horsemen use to try~Upon plain ground, beneath her tutoring,~Rogero
 26    10|    crimson spreading on an ivory ground;~Knowing those secret beauties

 29    11|         mine is wont to prop~The ground, and where he works the
 30    11|       drag the monstrous fish to ground,~His scattered flock forgot,
 31    12|          close his visage to the ground,~To see if recent print
 32    12|       two dead companions on the ground,~The royal maid a bleeding
 33    12|       dip, and some fall flat to ground.~ ~ LXXXV~He ceased not
 34    13|     Orlando had discovered under ground,~And asked, by whom she
 35    13|     would anchor on the destined ground.~-- And thus it was arrived
 36    13|       which in the cavern on the ground,~Convenient for his purpose
 37    13|        goaded courser clears~His ground, pursued by either enemy.~
 38    14|          price of victory,~Small ground was left them triumphs to
 39    14|          many bodies strewed the ground,~That direr havoc never
 40    14|       except in writing, on this ground.~ ~ LXXXI~Nor here he Love,

 43    14|       his every member, from the ground~Upraised his weight, and
 44    14|       peal of thunder, shook the ground.~ ~ CXXXIV~A horrid concert,
 45    15|        the shock which rives the ground,~Come not, in aught, the
 46    15|     wretch, and drags him to the ground.~ ~ LV~Astolpho, who beholds
 47    15|           now the other falls to ground;~Sometimes he cleaves the
 48    15|        of inward love the surest ground,~Them he conducted to his
 49    16|       there is none on Christian ground.~But what has citizens beleaguered
 50    16|         stand mute or keep their ground:~But hearing now the foe,
 51    16|          his age, he strowed~The ground with heaps of dead, and
 52    16|          Not this, now that gave ground, like corn before~The light
 53    16|         do nought but quit their ground and fall,~And break their

 56    17|   Norandine, as bid, took up his ground~Before the cavern, on the
 57    17|        against a knight upon the ground,~As at the ravening wolf
 58    17|         that, reversed, upon the ground o'erlaid~By his weak horse,
 59    17|        his disgrace had been the ground,~Though no true evidence
 60    18| gathering rabblery,~Staining the ground with thousands slain or
 61    18|       little bridge takes up his ground,~That him his enemies may

 76    21|        Holland's isle, our natal ground,~To serve Heraclius, 'mid
 77    22|         heavy threshold from the ground;~Beneath which, figures
 78    22|        for whom to-day~They on a ground so causeless and so slight,~
 79    22|       the warlike two~Divide the ground, and short is the delay.~
 80    22|     there lay~A well, within the ground profoundly wrought:~Whither
 81    23|         journey, lifeless on the ground.~ ~ XLVI~After some little
 82    23|        feet have cast himself to ground.~ ~ LXIII~While Roland,

 86    23|       and woe-begone, he fell to ground,~And turned his eyes toward
 87    24|          comrade bleeding on the ground:~Of Isabel I asked the cavalier,~
 88    24|          Corebo lay,~Who had the ground about him dyed so red,~That

 93    24|         leafy wood;~Which to the ground now bends the forest green.~
 94    24|         one gains, nor the other ground foregoes;~But, as if girded

102    27|        perplexity,~Denied on any ground Rogero's right~The bearer
103    27|       fire had levelled with the ground.~The Parmesan like circle
