Canto

  1     1|         no light endeavour at his hands.~ ~ XXV~A bough he severs
  2     1|     tresses.~ ~ XLIII~"But wanton hands no sooner this displace~
  3     1|        memory~Albracca, where her hands prepared his food,~What
  4     2|        place her in the warrior's hands.~ ~ XXII~And, with desire
  5     2|           rose; and soaring, laid~Hands on his prize, and snatched
  6     2|          oft in civil blood their hands embrued.~And hence some
  7     2|        traitor, with a laugh, his hands extended.~And plunged his
  8     3|        overbear;~Shall from their hands the sovereign pontiff take,~
  9     3|         church from his rapacious hands.~ ~ XXXI~"Another Azo rules
 10     3|      trust a noble brother to his hands,~Boasting no dearer pledge,
 11     3|      fight.~Who struggling Fury's hands shall tie behind~Her back,
 12     4|        lies)~Watches his thievish hands in fear and doubt;~And follows
 13     5|         thanks to God with lifted hands he paid,~That he had deigned
 14     6|       More than Briareus' hundred hands and arms.~ ~ LXVII~If he
 15     7| cavern-lair,~Strangle with infant hands the crested snake;~Their
 16     8|            with ruffled hair:~Her hands were joined, her lips were
 17     8|            If this be true, these hands the fatal blow~Shall deal,
 18     9|        When I am to the monarch's hands conveyed:~Thus I, when I
 19    10|            She wept and clapt her hands in agony.~"Without its freight,"
 20    10|        wound~And gall those snowy hands with livid stain,~Thus painfully
 21    10|          XCIX~And gladly with her hands her face would hood,~Were
 22    11|          And biggest anchor to my hands consign;~Thou shalt perceive
 23    12|      greatest fame,~That by their hands Rogero might not die,~Brought
 24    13|           And how myself I to his hands resigned.~ ~  XXVIII~"When
 25    13|        like a famished bear,~With hands and feet I fierce resistance
 26    13|            Fast with a rope their hands behind them ties;~A rope,
 27    14|         honour shall chastise~The hands which so rapaciously have
 28    14|         yet entire, he took, both hands between,~And with so many
 29    14|       gave;~And there with folded hands and face supine,~Exclaimed, "
 30    14|         she,~And hearings, in her hands and bosom bore,~And consultation,
 31    14|        where~Movement of lips and hands upraised to pray~Are seen:
 32    14|           foemen scaled, upon all hands,~Form cruel garlands for
 33    14|          tonsure at the warrior's hands:~Heads fly and arms; and
 34    15|     pleasure in a net, by cunning hands~Contrived, which near his
 35    15|       Mars and Venus caught,~Who, hands and feet, were fettered
 36    15|      chain,~And with the gyve his hands behind him laced:~His arms
 37    15|      truth,~Who had, with his own hands, baptized the youth.~ ~
 38    16|       Where'er the paynim has his hands applied,~He tumbles down
 39    16|   thanksgiving yield,~With lifted hands, to God, who brought you
 40    16|           And, trembling in their hands, is seen the lance,~Their
 41    16|            could deftly ply their hands.~ ~ LXVII~Forward Sir Oldrad
 42    17|          crew.~ ~ XCI~Clapping of hands, and cries, at every turn,~
 43    18|          we;~Have but one pair of hands, have but one soul."~So
 44    18|        tis better to use arms and hands~In fight, than turn their
 45    18|         two,~So fallen into their hands, was justly due.~ ~ XCII~'
 46    20|          least, return with empty hands.~ ~ XXXIV~"Nor by the women
 47    22|           he fell into Astolpho's hands.~ ~ XXIII~He, having chased
 48    22|        with vengeance, and to lay~Hands on her sword and charge
 49    23|           sworn a solemn oath his hands to lay:~This was the first,
 50    23|       Lament and noise of smitten hands arise;~And faster and from
 51    23|         And, weeping, with raised hands, was heard to say,~He for
 52    23|        smites him oftentimes with hands and feet;~Threatening, as
 53    24|       view.~Since she, who at his hands has suffered worst,~The
 54    24|        blows,~With which no other hands could wound the air;~Hence
 55    24|            And she, between whose hands their solemn troth~They
 56    25|        the chain~From the youth's hands, and him in martial gear~
 57    25|         or sea,~Who suffer at thy hands such cruel pain;~And this
 58    26|           they traced,~To know by hands of whom that Beast was slain,~
 59    26|        force~Had wrested from her hands that goodly horse.~ ~ LXII~
 60    27|     hemisphere,~Clothe with their hands, in Trojan plate and chain,~
 61    27|         perceives himself in evil hands,~Aye weeps, and mercy of
 62    27|         king's award,~Between his hands, and next the suitors twain~
 63    29|         He shall no quarter at my hands receive;~So him with pen
 64    29|         caldron, through~Innocent hands, affords a juice of might,~
 65    30|         She thanked her God, with hands to Heaven extended,~That
 66    31|          Which shivering in their hands, had flown upright.~And
 67    32|       scorn to stain her generous hands~With such base blood, and
 68    33|         to deliver from rapacious hands~The Church's head and limbs,
 69    37|           mist the sun.~ ~ IV~But hands or tongue ne'er had, nor
 70    37|           and woe?~Now these mine hands shall make an end of thee.~
 71    37|          lived, to put her in his hands.~ ~ XCI~He on a sumpter
 72    37|     square.~ ~ CIII~Meanwhile the hands of Marganor, behind~His
 73    37|       rein,~Hurry, with their own hands to take his life;~And young
 74    37|         been shent,~Now let their hands hang idle by their side;~
 75    38|           the valleys were,~Layed hands on them, and seized them
 76    38|       Alcoran.~The emperor in his hands the Gospel took,~The king
 77    38|      altar, to the sky~Lifted his hands, "O God, that for our sake"~(
 78    39|     slowly young Rogero plied his hands;~Too well Rinaldo kept the
 79    39|         renown,~Was seen, on both hands, in the selfsame feat;~All
 80    39|     treaty to refrain~From laying hands upon the costly prey,~Had
 81    39|         full as they could be~His hands with many different sorts
 82    39|           more defence the routed hands maintain;~Save that a war
 83    39|        they all upon him are,~And hands and feet more tightly they
 84    39|         were killed in flight,~By hands of those redoubted damsels
 85    39|       went;~Then, taxing wits and hands, to work them woe,~Them
 86    41|       train.~ ~ XXII~Himself with hands and feet the warrior rows,~
 87    41|    Cleaving the flood with nimble hands and feet~He swims, amid
 88    41|          to divide,~With both his hands upheaved his sword on high;~
 89    42|          outcries, succour at her hands.~ ~ XXVII~Marphisa shrugs
 90    42|          from the cruel monster's hands.~ ~ LV~The stranger horseman,
 91    43|           in her hair:~Wildly her hands together doth she smite,~
 92    43|           he wreathes his wayward hands within~His hoary hair, and
 93    43|       holy rite of baptism at his hands.~ ~ CXCIV~So him baptized
 94    44|   squadron falls,~Which with full hands from stand and window throw~
 95    44|   river-side;~And they into their hands had fallen all,~But for
 96    45|      Child to be delivered to her hands;~ ~ XIX~And, not therein
 97    45|            Chains on his neck and hands and feet they don;~And put
 98    45|           all this while Rogero's hands doth loose.~"Infinite thanks
 99    46|         his fury grew,~He bit his hands and lips; while pouring
100    46|         the Greek empire from his hands to wrest.~ ~ LXXI~He accepts
101    46|         his shield, and with both hands outright~Lays at Rogero'
