Canto

  1     1|    knight, whose worth I rate as high,~His warlike prowess puts
  2     2|         lance, he darted from on high;~And while Gradasso scarcely
  3     3|       voice that shall ascend~As high as I would raise my noble
  4     3|      inexpugnable his tower, and high;~Besides that his swift
  5     3|      take Rogero from the castle high;~So has he boasted, by the
  6     4|       its summit go:~And this as high that airy summit flings,~
  7     4|         and knights, and more of high degree,~Have to this tower
  8     4|      distance lit, half-mountain high:~And, as she follows him
  9     4|        In fearful peril, soar so high a strain,~She stood long
 10     4|          a woman, whether low or high~Her state, who takes a man
 11     5|        king would be~Advanced as high, as subject could repair,~
 12     5|        and caressed,~And held in high regard, and cherished still,~
 13     5|      When, speaking thus on that high headland, he~Plunged from
 14     5|          monarch's anger ran~Too high, he would withdraw me, and
 15     6|     branching forehead broad and high.~These, fearless of the
 16     7|    honour move not thee,~And the high deeds which thou art called
 17     8|        she collects and holds it high;~And, not to wet them, gathers
 18     8|         despair,~Accusing Him on high, that to distress~And whelm
 19     8|          the hermit hoar~Of that high rock above her, had surveyed~
 20     8|        right, left, and low, and high.~ ~ LXXII~To memory now
 21     9|       Yet cannot track his lady, high or low.~If he finds any
 22     9|  Conceived, and entertained such high disdain,~He entered Holland,
 23     9|        seen the thunder, from on high,~Discharged by Jove with
 24     9|         flying stones cast up as high as heaven;~ ~ LXXIX~Let
 25    10|       the dame prepares~From the high rock amid the waves to leap.~
 26    10|          thoughts may tower more high than hawks in air;~And how
 27    10|         him what to do, if he on high~Would make him soar, or
 28    10|        banners were, upreared on high:~ ~ LXXVI~And added, having
 29    11|       light~Of the clear sun, so high the water flew.~The noise
 30    12|          pain;~But tempered with high hope. Sometimes the peer~
 31    12|         he, but others who stood high~For valour, and in France
 32    12|         his dripping steeds, and high~And low, still scattering
 33    12|      esteems a knight of prowess high,~Which, fondly, he too sore
 34    13|        the Scottish prince stood high.~He showed me, and, I think,
 35    13|        just.~ ~ XXV~"Not without high disdain Corebo heard~(Who
 36    13|         might well deserve, that high~Heroic trump should in her
 37    14|          that Durindane.~Held in high value by Almontes bold,~
 38    14|          to fall.~ ~ LXIX~At the high church, he, girt with paladine~
 39    14|       fitted his great needs and high condition.~Now was his supplication
 40    14|     speech,~To whom he first his high behest would teach.~ ~
 41    14|     charged, -- heaven's concave high~Filling, as they advanced,
 42    14|           safe in buckler lifted high,~Scorns not the wall alone,
 43    15|          vale, he sees ascend so high,~And hears his people's
 44    15|         houses are three stories high,~Numbers are forced to sleep
 45    16|         sweat and dust ascend on high,~And seem to stamp in air
 46    17|       sire and grandsire held in high esteem.~ ~ XI~Rodomont stands
 47    17|          yet her to scathe, that high,~And noble, enterprize wilt
 48    17|    militia led;~That was as lord high admiral obeyed.~This lightly
 49    17|         round about loud voices, high and low,~The unworthy name
 50    17|     supper set.~ ~ CXIX~With the high tower the beauteous gallery,
 51    18|          Dardinello dead.~ ~ ~ I~High minded lord! your actions
 52    18|     peril, raise the draw-bridge high:~Part, weeping and with
 53    18|           Of cry of Muezzins, on high exalted;~Of drums and trumpets,
 54    18|          hies,~And brandishes on high his trenchant blade,~To
 55    18|       wheresoe'er you speed.~Too high a wall to climb is mountain-steep,~
 56    18|           But that he wrought so high the specious tale,~As manifested
 57    18|        feigned)~To be hung up on high in public view~With the
 58    18|     beginning, while the sun was high,~And afterwards increased
 59    18|       sea against them mountains high;~With such dread flashes,
 60    19|       the deep wood, inspired by high disdain,~When he has left
 61    19|        takes the field.~ ~ LXXVI~High up the spacious city is
 62    20|        cursed withal the day, in high disdain,~That he achieved
 63    21|         its leaves,~And towering high on Alp or Apennine,~With
 64    21|       seeks and finds adventure, high and low,~It happened that
 65    22|          sore of life. On turret high,~Upon first sight of them,
 66    23|    herself, and raised her vizor high,~And let him plainly who
 67    23|       the first sight~A baron of high worth esteemed the knight,~ ~
 68    23|          looking to his feet, by high or low,~The beast of craven
 69    23|           He of his prowess gave high proofs and full,~Who a tall
 70    24|      sword descends, or hangs on high,~Zerbino stands, attentive
 71    26|       their faulchions raised on high,~Which on the enchanted
 72    26|          sell.~Seeing herself so high in air, loud cried,~(Yielding
 73    27|      dire ruin follows, and from high,~The loosened rock and solid
 74    27|         throughout to thwart his high intent.~ ~ XXXVI~As servant
 75    27| successor of King Agricane.~ ~ L~High on a throne of ample state
 76    27|        inflamed, and blazed more high~Than ever lightly-kindled
 77    29|       name, be blest with genius high;~Be courteous, gentle, beautiful,
 78    29|      height.~Yet was the last so high, a sentry paced~Its top,
 79    29|        foaming stream they sank;~High flashed the wave, and groaned
 80    30|       his horse amid the billows high,~Wholly resolved to reach
 81    30|       esteem a painted bird more high,~At least for my life's
 82    30|       three fell flaming from on high,~Which had ascended to the
 83    30|       vault,~With sword uplifted high for the assault.~ ~ LVII~
 84    31|      enforced,~It seemed of some high matter she discoursed.~ ~
 85    31|         that night~Blest with so high a fortune and so rare;~Hoping
 86    31|        their trenchant swords on high,~To teach more wit to him
 87    32|       his lofty virtues holds so high,~'Twere need some heaven-born
 88    32|          soar a pitch so passing high,~I reach a region, where
 89    32|       guard myself, lest bearing high,~Wise words, and beauty
 90    32|       Who in a thousand feats of high report~Has shown that he
 91    33|       isle withhold~From lifting high her glorious head in air,~
 92    33|          files, and battle rages high;~Fast fall the men at arms
 93    33|        horde:~Lo! while in other high emprize and fight~Elsewhere
 94    33|  thousand strokes might clash on high,~-- Nay more, nor yet the
 95    33|          wrought in gold.~ ~ CIV~High prized withal, albeit it
 96    33|        rash emprise, and from on high~Sent down an angel, whose
 97    33|          wall, o'er every turret high,~Some swiftly to the king
 98    33|          and a sinner I,~To such high grace unworthy to pretend.~
 99    34|         righteous doom of God on high~In murky smoke eternally
100    34|          many a sort, and valour high~Would make a tale too tedious
101    34|    Thracian fires, and threatens high,~By love or force the monarch
102    34|         Believe, you not without high mystery steer~Hitherward,
103    34|          us sinful men to God on high:~ ~ LXXV~The lover's tears
104    35|      Madonna, who will scale the high ascent~Of heaven, to me
105    35|   believe, mine is not lodged so high.~On your bright visage,
106    35|        prey all hurry, when from high~Those ample riches they
107    37|       Nor halt, O women, in your high emprise,~For fear of not
108    37|          And makes Parnassus and high Cynthus' hill~Resound your
109    37|     quickening in his verse your high renown;~And, if another
110    37|      Athens, many a Rome;~In his high strain he promises as well,~
111    37|           in her despair,~From a high bank into a vale below;~
112    38|        sovereign joy, a prize so high~No silver and no gold could
113    38|         south, in fury goes~To a high hill, the southern wind'
114    38|          think, save only God on high~Prescient of all which is
115    38|          not Rinaldo stands more high,~Nor whatsoever other Christian
116    38|     assault begins; now low, now high,~That pair the sounding
117    39|          a thousand cavaliers~So high, if handed in his aid they
118    39|          Return repentant and in high disdain:~So, with a sigh,
119    39|      daring was imparted from on high,~(Since the hour was come
120    40|       deceived,~Had rated not so high the foes' array,~Nor to
121    40|          drowned;~Over the elm's high top the fishes glide,~Where
122    40|         I should seek a comrade, high or low,~And what (Sobrino
123    40|        The river, locked in that high turret are.~Few throughout
124    41|       sun mid glittering orbs on high.~ ~ IV~As in his every other
125    41|      clear and manifest,~And his high mindedness shone more and
126    41|          reeling mast:~Almost as high as heaven the water flows:~
127    41|      fell.~Now to their sight so high the billows leap,~It seems
128    41|    behind;~Whereof one lifts him high, one sinks him low.~Rising
129    41|     turns his prow, and, when so high~He views the sea, would
130    41|      hands upheaved his sword on high;~And, even as he devised,
131    42|          their branching antlers high.~ ~ CII~"If thou would'st
132    43|       raise.~ ~ IV~What shall of high and beauteous dames be said?~
133    43|        fell.~ ~ XIX~"With genius high and beauty no less bright,~
134    43|      gold and silver, price less high~Than gold and silver will
135    43|        banner has been raised on high),~And causes deeper sorrow
136    44|       And joy in kinsman of such high report;~But from the high
137    44|        high report;~But from the high regard he bears his heir,~
138    44|      such fury blows at noon, on high~I moves the shifting plain
139    44|        structure arch and trophy high,~Whereon Biserta's sack
140    44|       Where many days he feasted high in hall~His lords, mid tourney,
141    44|         nor king, is raised more high~Than these by sceptre, mitre,
142    44|     mighty valour and her virtue high,~So that, as cheaper, she
143    45|         false Fear shall from on high~Depose withal, and to the
144    45|         this side, now that, now high, now low~She strikes, and
145    45|      strokes, aimed now low, now high,~Which good Rogero's head
146    45|       vaunt can raise;~That such high honour and such courtesy~
147    46|       modern instance) raised on high,~To shine with endless glory
148    46|  evermore be charmed.~ ~ XVII~Of high and superhuman genius, tied~
149    46|        deems that courtesy of so high a strain~Was never done
150    46|          worthy following and of high renown~Before, behind him,
151    46|        worthily repaid,~Did that high courtesy; which can by none,~
152    46|           Who, rich and poor, of high and low degree,~And Greeks
153    46|         gestures showed,~And the high presence of so fair a crew.~
154    46|          feathers they ascend so high;~Were his arms hewn from
155    46|         from the ground~Uplifted high in air the Moorish lord;~
156    46|         horrid front,~Raising as high as he could raise in air~
