  1     1|         And from those ancient days my story bring,~When Moors
  2     1|    warrior's eyes~(Though many days no news of her had shown)~
  3     1|    departing heavily,~Was many days sore vexed and grieved in
  4     2|        peace away.~ ~ XLI~"Six days I rode, from morn to setting
  5     3|   counsel sought.~ ~ XII~"Long days have passed since I from
  6     3|         prepare to hear.~Three days along the shingle shalt
  7     5|            XI~"So was for many days and months maintained~By
  8     5|   bewrayed.~ ~ XII~"After some days, of fair Geneura he~A suitor
  9     5|   gainsay his will,~Upon those days alone enjoy content,~When
 10     5|      aye eschewed,~To pass her days in barren solitude.~ ~ XXXIV~"
 11     5|  sentiment.~ ~ LVII~"But eight days past or more, to Scotland'
 12     7|       the royal pair,~Who many days pursued her search in vain;~
 13     7|     declined,~Wished length of days to his Rogero more~Than
 14     7|       and swore~That few short days should pass before anew~
 15     7|      is laid,~Then, after many days, conducted goes~By chance,
 16     7|      Was with his armour, many days before~Laid by, again accoutred
 17     8|    right.~And that, within few days, he in array~Such horsemen,
 18     8|      Where I had ended its sad days, immersed;~Because to torture
 19     8|        that place had come six days before;~For him by path
 20     8|      crew to mollify,~Who many days her cruel death delayed,~
 21     9|        He sojourns there three days, the camp to see;~Still
 22     9|     distance traversed in four days, in one~Backwards the ceaseless
 23     9|        sincere.~ ~ XXIV~"Those days, whenas the wind was contrary,~(
 24    10|        squall,~And drive three days the open sea before:~Upon
 25    10|      Rogero sees.~There in few days resorted all the crew,~Changed
 26    10|     upon this need,~And in two days the pair will expedite."~
 27    10|  capacious ring.~So nights and days he passes: such delight~
 28    11|       glen unveiled~In ancient days before the Phrygian swain,~
 29    11|     where the divine~Zeuxis in days of old his work projected,~
 30    11|         LXXIX~So levied in few days his warlike band,~And (league
 31    13|     wit, who in their freshest days~Of beauty worthily deserve
 32    13|        seeds of worth in early days,~To bloom in council and
 33    14|       Agramant, returned three days before.~ ~ XXVI~There was
 34    14|       warrior had arrived some days before;~Nor was there in
 35    14|     once; but 'twas in ancient days;~Chased hence by Avarice,
 36    15|        to sight;~Whence in few days the squadron was conveyed~
 37    15|       of all Palestine,~By six days' journey, is, through this,
 38    16|        most easy road.~Him six days' journey to Damascus brought,~
 39    16| splendid festival~Had in these days bid solemnly proclaim;~And
 40    17|     well as those who lived in days of yore;~Consigned to ravening
 41    17|  distant lies~From Salem seven days' journey; its fair site,~
 42    17|     pilot hoar.~Drifting three days and nights at random, we~
 43    17|   Satalia's strand,~And, three days past, arrived on Syrian
 44    17|       Franks, possest~In those days of the sacred heritage,~
 45    17|     Presented to the king some days before;~Which late a merchant
 46    18|         Ill Rodomont in twenty days would clear~The gathering
 47    18|       duly bear,~She for those days she absent thought to be,~
 48    18|      wounded, he remained some days before~He could bear arms:
 49    18|        replied the king, "some days ago;~And had you raised
 50    18|  should gain.~ ~ CXXXIII~Eight days or ten in joy and triumph
 51    18|        sides clear,~Vouch many days' fair weather. From the
 52    19|        heifer, missing for two days, pursued.~Him she with her
 53    19|    tempest fell.~And now three days the angry gale has blown,~
 54    19|         remained~For full four days; and helpless was their
 55    20|        bold in bed.~And in few days to them so grateful proved,~
 56    20|    this place of rest,~For ten days, to that roving company:~
 57    20|       set most store,~For many days remain so sore dismayed,~
 58    20|       made a stop,~Not for ten days her headlong flight forbore:~
 59    20|        place recount,~Now many days by path obscure had flown,~
 60    20|        adorned the most.~Three days the tedious road the couple
 61    20|        her destiny,~Within few days, has fallen into the power~
 62    21|        Was mantled over in the days of old;~So by the ancient
 63    22|          VI~He, after some few days, in Natoly~Finds himself,
 64    22|       in less time than twenty days~Both the Moravian and Bohemian
 65    22|       land and sea,~And in few days the ample world invest.~
 66    22|      surprise~That for so many days that witchery~Had so obscurred
 67    22|         And have so many happy days foregone.~ ~ XXXIV~The gentle
 68    22|        and cavalier~Did, three days past, a shameful law devise;~
 69    22|   usage, which began~But three days since, you now, sir knight,
 70    23|       erst displayed;~And many days her with such witcheries~
 71    23|          LXXIII~" 'Tis now ten days," to him the Tartar said,~"
 72    23|       Orlando, would for three days more.~Waiting him, in that
 73    23|    astray,~Made Roland for two days, with fruitless pain,~Follow
 74    24|        secure betide~To end my days, this earthly journey done,~
 75    25|    spread.'~ ~  XCI~"I fifteen days or twenty ask, that I~Yet
 76    26|      designed to be~Within few days; by her enjoined to wend~
 77    27|        Have for these some few days together gone,~To lend him
 78    27|     knights contend,~For three days shall the wretch's doom
 79    28|      set forth, and, after few days' ride,~Reached Rome, and
 80    28|     signified,~Why he had many days lamenting sore;~-- Because
 81    28|       peer;~Seeing he, for two days, that horse's might~Had
 82    29|      drest.~ ~ XXXV~Within ten days, or shorter time, was placed~
 83    30|       corn or hay;~So that few days exhaust the famished hack.~
 84    30|       shoot at score.~For many days along the bank he hied,~
 85    30|        his return~When fifteen days or twenty were gone by:~
 86    31|       tidings brought~Some few days after; for the former woe,~
 87    31|     with the pair had been few days before;~And to Rinaldo: "
 88    31|      paynim taken.~ ~ XLV~"Few days are past, since I in shameful
 89    31|     fight.~ ~ LXXVIII~For many days the damsel vainly strayed,~
 90    32|    done him wrong.~He, for ten days and nights, to swing in
 91    32|    mourn,~Because those twenty days so slowly trail:~-- Which
 92    32|     XIV~When, saving some four days, the term was ended,~Appointed
 93    32|       six, by eight, by twenty days --~She seeing not her spouse,
 94    32|      space beyond those twenty days~This hope affords fair Bradamant
 95    33|     chamber wrought,~Up to our days, have yet been witnessed
 96    33|   event or fair,~Even from his days until the thousandth year,~
 97    34|      have won,~Nor waited many days, had he maintained~His course
 98    34|      turns him back, upon some days and deeds~To look again,
 99    35|     rein.~ ~ LXII~Through long days' journey, by that river-shore,~
100    36|      ween, mid warriors in the days of yore,~No such example
101    36|        doubt am I, before~Many days pass, will manage in such
102    37|     this because they in their days have had~For chroniclers,
103    37|        second sun~Seems in our days its glorious course to run.~ ~
104    37|         the maid,~Who some few days before those knights of
105    38|        see and know.~Then many days Orlando has been gone;~Yet
106    39|        cost~Of one or two good days, in harbour lost.~ ~ XXXV~
107    39|        navy flee:~He stays two days, while they the stragglers
108    40|    Evermore changing nags, six days before,~To Rome, in heat
109    40|   Wherein was seen the work of days of yore:~Of other bulwarks
110    41|      throne,~Or pass my future days in exile drear,~God only
111    42|     fierce Granada's band~Took days erewhile, to wrest it from
112    43|       that I could nor for two days abide,~Nay, not an hour
113    44|  palace did alight:~Where many days he feasted high in hall~
114    44|        given to Aymon some few days before,~Built between Carcasson
115    45|     this have shown~In ancient days; King Lewis in our own;~ ~
116    45|       sometimes is he left two days with none;~And one that
117    45|         in secret, four or six days' space:~Meanwhile for him
118    45|      train,~That were in olden days, or are in new!~Nor, if
119    46|        all food~For three long days, so broken down; with pain~
120    46|        am I;~And now 'tis many days since with intent~Of putting
121    46|    vigour which some few~Short days before, in fighting field,
