Canto

  1     1|      the floating bridle in the wind;~Nor in her panic seeks
  2     2|         and leaves, as swift as wind,~Without farewell, his rival
  3     2|         s wishes go~Faster; and wind itself had seemed too slow.~ ~
  4     2|   billows, white with foam.~The wind, enraged that he opposed
  5     2|           Not so," exclaims the wind, and stops them short,~"
  6     2|        A weary warfare with the wind and flood;~To follow a fair
  7     2|      mid these rocks has wasted wind and speed.~ ~ XL~"But I,
  8     2|       flings~His pinions to the wind, and soars amain.~So straight
  9     3|       triumphant ensigns to the wind:~To the afflicted church
 10     4|        courier through a valley wind,~Brunello now before and
 11     4|         blows discharges at the wind;~And spurring here and there
 12     4|         Which through the sea a wind propitious sends.~Him leave
 13     4|    Rinaldo fares,~Forced by the wind, the spacious ocean through;~
 14     5|        like the mist before the wind!~ ~ LIV~" `Compass her death! '
 15     5|         will was the report,~No wind to blame for the calamity!~
 16     6|       faster than a leaf i' the wind~Fluttered within his breast
 17     8|       came,~He sped as moved by wind, or rather flame.~ ~ VII~
 18     8|        he was gone.~ ~ XXVI~The wind sat in the poop; Rinaldo
 19     8|   exhaust.~But since not always wind and waves convey~Like plunder,
 20     9|      Albion bore:~But the south wind, which had her canvas fanned,~
 21     9|         Backwards the ceaseless wind the frigate bore;~The helmsman
 22     9|       glass upon the shore.~The wind upon the fifth day changed
 23     9|          Those days, whenas the wind was contrary,~(Which fair
 24     9|       alive, to let them to the wind~Scatter my ashes, rather
 25     9|        clear sky and prosperous wind to speed.~The county hastes
 26     9|        veered his canvas to the wind:~This isle, and that of
 27     9|        a long and privy circuit wind,~And come upon the paladin
 28     9|     sheet, his frigate goes,~By wind, which for the cruel island
 29    10|         be, that has no prop to wind about.~But the first down
 30    10|      land.~ ~ XXVI~But the loud wind which, sweeping ocean, bears~
 31    10|   Beneath the castle, safe from wind and swell,~Of many ships
 32    10|        our great captain to the wind expands,~Under whose ensign
 33    10|     which stirred~By fluttering wind, is borne towards the mount,~
 34    10|         sort~As sped by roaring wind long carack steers~From
 35    11|      harbour, where~They to the wind erewhile unfurled had been~
 36    12|     through the greenwood hies,~Wind would not overtake him on
 37    13|         Smote with a north-west wind, next, ocean bubbled,~Which
 38    13|    impel;~Driven thither by ill wind with mightier speed~Than
 39    13|       sea I launched before the wind:~And with this finish my
 40    14|       opening with her walk, or wind that blew,~Now showed, now
 41    15|       should he the bugle hear.~Wind, thunder, and the shock
 42    15|    stand~To sea, with favouring wind which blows astern;~And (
 43    15|      Cochin, and with favouring wind~Issues beyond the boundaries
 44    15|        nimbly in the course, he wind~And thunderbolt and arrow
 45    15|       From a close union of the wind and flame,~And, nourished
 46    16|      wheel and spacious compass wind,~To fall upon the paynim
 47    17|         the pest~Than the south wind. Of forty, ten, with pain,~
 48    17|      such his subtle scent, can wind a mouse.'~ ~ XLIV~"To her
 49    17|     steel,~So shrinks he at the wind of every blow:~At length
 50    18|  cowardice requite.~A favouring wind Marphisa's gallery blows,~
 51    18|         its sail, -- by growing wind opprest;~So speedily Sir
 52    18|     step by step I go, and as I wind~My way, leave none who merits
 53    18|        his mail,~And thigh, his wind as well begins to fail.~ ~
 54    18|        prepared.~Thence (a fair wind now blowing from the shore)~
 55    18|    spread.~ ~ CXLI~To the north wind, which blew upon their right,~
 56    18|         main;~On every side the wind and tempest grew;~Which,
 57    18|         sailors, in this war of wind and flood,~Were prompt to
 58    18|       mast.~ ~  CXLIV~The cruel wind increased throughout the
 59    18|         sorrowing Patron to the wind gives way,~He veers his
 60    19|        the boy no longer in the wind;~But when he marked the
 61    19|       XLVII~More spitefully the wind on the third day~Blows,
 62    20|       was the hour, so fair the wind,~When young Phalantus chose
 63    20|   stranger bark could shun~Foul wind or storm, which vexed the
 64    20|      For, smote by me, whom ill wind hither blew,~The knight
 65    20|     fanned by free~And constant wind, sees vanish from the eye~
 66    20|    frigate, had been wrecked by wind and swell~Upon the rocky
 67    22|    stood;~And, so the favouring wind her canvas fanned,~That
 68    22|        On Rabican, who with the wind might race,~The villain
 69    23|      heart on more.~Meanwhile a wind of sighs, and plenteous
 70    23|     sail, and shoots before the wind.~ ~ XVII~Bradamant, when
 71    24|        at first, which southern wind has stirred,~When the next,
 72    24|        good,~He seems an Alpine wind, two hills between,~That
 73    25|   scandal, say:~Rogero, in fair wind and weather, still~Waited
 74    26|    pause,~Which by the wavering wind was blown about,~And round
 75    26|        all designs are mist and wind;~Withal, so passing liberal,
 76    27|      the banners shaking in the wind,~And the cantonments of
 77    27|       filled the skies;~And the wind ruffles, as it comes and
 78    27|          in his fury, sawed the wind~About him, with Almontes'
 79    27|         countless others to the wind~Poured forth the paynim
 80    28|         in memory of herself to wind:~Her gift the husband is
 81    30| withstood:~So towers resist the wind, so rocks the flood.~ ~
 82    30|        unrolled his ensigns the wind;~Who had to move from Africk
 83    32| Dordogne's waters to the valley wind;~And Montferrant's and Clermont'

 85    32|      bower:~Him, sorer far than wind and cold dismayed~That lovely
 86    32|        retreat.~Where howls the wind, where beats the pattering
 87    32|      the raging of the rain and wind,~Where sheltering house
 88    33|  destroyed by wasting waves and wind.~ ~ XVIII~"Burgundian Lewis
 89    33|       flies~Before the restless wind, which whirls it round,~
 90    33|         All night, the freezing wind and pattering rain.~ ~ LXVII~
 91    34|         reeled, its filmy twine~Wind from the worm, and soak
 92    35|      stream below:~But, born of wind and flame, good Rabican~
 93    36|      some sea-rock the prisoned wind.~She screamed an answer;
 94    37|       Who groans like sea, when wind and waves contend:~Towards
 95    37|        only grieves she has not wind enow,~No respite to his
 96    38|         high hill, the southern wind's abode;~Whence he towards
 97    38|     Wherein reposed the wearied wind, was laid~Quaintly and softly
 98    39|     Expecting a more favourable wind,~To put to sea; when, freighted
 99    39|        boisterous, overblowing, wind~Had driven his bark beyond
100    40|     When from the land a wicked wind 'gan blow,~And took the
101    40|         without crew, alone,~As wind and fortune ordered it,
102    41|        wise~Trusting the fickle wind, to seaward stood.~At first
103    41|       darkening of the day, the wind~Displays its fickle and
104    41|       about.~ ~ X~Now blows the wind in front, and now in rear,~
105    41|          Wherein the struggling wind its fury breaks;~The forked
106    41|     night,~They drifted, as the wind in fury blew.~The furious
107    41|       in fury blew.~The furious wind that with the dawning light~
108    41|        run.~It would appear the wind has changed its mind,~On
109    41|       the sea went down and the wind died,~Stood bedded in that
110    41|       XXXIV~The warriors to the wind their canvas rear,~When
111    41|         others sped,~Whom mercy wind and weather seaward bore.~
112    41|          On him the threatening wind and tempest beat,~But him
113    41|       falling, vext by wave and wind,~So gains the Child that
114    42| hoisting her bold canvas to the wind,~In Catalonian galley loosed
115    43|     wide circles doth about her wind,~Hoping now here, now there,
116    43|      sail and oar.~But with ill wind and strong the warrior strives;~
117    43|     smoke obscures the day.~The wind blows fair, and on the starboard
118    43|     land.~ ~ CLXVI~With a fresh wind, that in their favour blows,~
119    44|         coming stay,~Albeit the wind blew fair for their intent,~
120    44|       gear,~Go eddying with the wind, and disappear.~ ~ XXI~Home,
121    44|        and tempestuous southern wind.~ ~ XXII~I say, enclosed
122    44|          enclosed in skins that wind he gave,~Which in such fury
123    44|        hopes a foul and furious wind anew~Far from the sheltering
124    44|       in his career~Is like the wind, and passes every steed;~
125    45|  sometimes after thunder sudden wind~Turns the sea upside down;
126    46|    nest-notes shall by friendly wind~Be blown from Calpe's rock
127    46|      the shore.~Then, since the wind blows fair, nor much to
