Canto

  1     1|         palfrey swift to ply~His feet; for while the knights in
  2     1|       foiled Saracen regains his feet.~ ~  LXV~As the bewildered
  3     2|         entrance steep.~With her feet foremost, by her arms suspended:~
  4     4|         like his sire, as in the feet before;~But like the mare,
  5     4|          from the courser on her feet descends:~To compass and
  6     5|        might beset his brother's feet,~Or with the common passion
  7     6|       shower of leaves about his feet;~He made the myrtle shake
  8     6|        stones, and rugged to the feet --~If he, some little further
  9     6|           with a human shape and feet, his crest,~Fashioned like
 10     7|      heart and life would at her feet have laid,~If she had deemed
 11     8|        better speed he plied his feet.~Ill was his walk, and worse
 12     8|         wet them, gathers up her feet.~Her tresses, which the
 13    10|     beach the courser plants his feet,~And goaded by the rowel,
 14    11|       stump, espied~A dame whose feet were wetted by the tide.~ ~
 15    11|    beauteous whole, from head to feet,~In her all loveliness is
 16    12|       wouldst quake from head to feet;~Nor only wouldst forego
 17    12|       part:~Unfenced beneath his feet, which evermore~By him were
 18    13|      winds, the waters bathe its feet.~ ~ XX~"Here the fell tyrant
 19    13|    famished bear,~With hands and feet I fierce resistance made,~
 20    13|         smile, upstarting on his feet,~Orlando to the ruffian
 21    13|      wise,~Their safety in their feet, yet vainly, sought;~For
 22    13|      paths which sore offend~Her feet, till she, beside a river'
 23    13|       strength to stand upon her feet.~But the enchantress kind,
 24    13|      crooked way or straight her feet explore~Within it and without,
 25    14|      wings,~And to the Saviour's feet this offering brings.~ ~
 26    14|         go, and hardly keeps her feet.~ ~ XCIV~Mindless Oblivion
 27    14|   Against the Mauritanian Atlas' feet;~Or watch at midnight with
 28    14|         the prince, from head to feet.~But why move I my pen with
 29    14|          CXXX~The moat of thirty feet, not less, he cleared,~As
 30    14|        had worn felt beneath his feet.~He now of this, now that,
 31    15|     winds, which blow upon their feet,~Making this serve or that,
 32    15| Exceeding every stature by eight feet.~From him wayfaring man
 33    15|         For him, arms, neck, and feet, so closely tied,~He could
 34    15|     Venus caught,~Who, hands and feet, were fettered by the chain:~
 35    15|        Touched, ere it arms, and feet, and neck embraced.~From
 36    18|      readiest of the crowd their feet to ply,~Part, more intent
 37    19|    female gown descending to the feet,~Which renders them effeminate
 38    19|          riders start upon their feet.~ ~ XCV~Marphisa in her
 39    19|    ground before they gain~Their feet, and now the fierce assault
 40    20| themselves at sire and husband's feet,~Than in those wilds, and
 41    22|      traversing a forest, at the feet~Of a fair hill, arrived
 42    22|     rolls his eyes and plies his feet.~ ~ XV~He plies his feet,
 43    22|         feet.~ ~ XV~He plies his feet, and searches still in vain~
 44    23|      hackney bound,~Would at his feet have cast himself to ground.~ ~
 45    23|       dear, --~Fell at Orlando's feet and him adored,~As to two
 46    23|         the paladin from head to feet;~Then finding all the tokens
 47    23|         this while, from head to feet,~Searches the paynim with
 48    23|         fall, Orlando lies,~With feet i' the stirrups, tightening
 49    23|        oftentimes with hands and feet;~Threatening, as if he understood
 50    23|            XC~Not looking to his feet, by high or low,~The beast
 51    24|         I~Let him make haste his feet to disengage,~Nor lime his
 52    24|        This is a pitfall for his feet to shape,~Which it will
 53    24|        blood a tepid tide~To his feet descending, with a crimson
 54    24|         in the stirrups fixt his feet.~ ~ XCVII~When the two hostile
 55    24|       unarmed, on horse or on my feet."~ ~  XCIX~They pass to
 56    24|    astound, slides down upon his feet,~And whirls his sword; to
 57    25|        chain)~Was first upon his feet; and either peer~Issues
 58    26|      this Rogero, leaping on his feet,~Who scarcely had endured
 59    26|          to make thee sweat from feet to front.~And to bestow
 60    26|          that ill sprite,~Thirty feet long and sixteen feet in
 61    26|     Thirty feet long and sixteen feet in height.~ ~ CXXX~It was
 62    27|          had given them legs and feet,~Wherewith to fly from that
 63    27|          her endless scathe with feet and fists.~ ~ XXXVIII~On
 64    27|          Kind Mandricardo on his feet once more,~Exclaims, "And
 65    29|       mouse, beneath Grimalkin's feet,~Had liefer found herself
 66    29|      horses's fall, who lost his feet.~He wills that bridge's
 67    29|          saucy villain, stay thy feet!~ ~ XLII~"Only for lord
 68    29|        could swim,~Here shot his feet, his arms extended there,~
 69    29|         may contrive;~But by the feet Orlando, ere he sprung,~
 70    31|         instant springs upon his feet;~ ~ XV~And to his foe, that
 71    31|          goes,~While his steed's feet the faithless bottom pound.~
 72    32|          wherewith she moved her feet~From thence, she to her
 73    32|       free,~Outstripping my slow feet, or me install~In the condition
 74    32|        the maid, and lights~With feet in air, at distance on the
 75    33|   distances the two,~Whose tardy feet their wishes ill obeyed.~
 76    33|  outstretched arms and tottering feet,~Comes forth, the flying
 77    33|    sought to kiss the stranger's feet in vain.~ ~ CXVII~"Nor angel" --
 78    33|        at that aerial mountain's feet,~Deep under earth, extends
 79    34|        more mortified.~Before my feet the doleful cavalier~Fell
 80    34|          of his quickly shifting feet~More savours of a run than
 81    36|          slow withal; for on her feet~She finds Marphisa, with
 82    36|        other they with fists and feet attack.~ ~ LI~Rogero ceased
 83    37|        first~To hide his hideous feet, was erst conveyed;~So that
 84    38|      dispatched, which, stirring feet and wings,~News of the Nubian
 85    39|      upon him are,~And hands and feet more tightly they constrain:~
 86    39|     wrought~Faster with arms and feet, his passage oared~To other
 87    41|      XXII~Himself with hands and feet the warrior rows,~Hoping
 88    41|      flood with nimble hands and feet~He swims, amid the horrid
 89    41|     ascent,~Towards the top with feet intrepid strained;~And not
 90    42|           to guide his wandering feet;~And overtook him on the
 91    42|         female statues fix their feet.~The lower seem with open
 92    42|      first of these her hallowed feet had set~On Peter Bembo and
 93    44|          Some kist the warrior's feet, and some his hand.~Round
 94    45|        XVI~"I still before these feet will bow my knee,~Save on
 95    45|        on his neck and hands and feet they don;~And put him in
 96    46|        knight could but upon his feet have stood,~To fall, albeit
 97    46|         stedfast gaze~And rooted feet, he like a statue shows;~
 98    46|         She cannot on her feeble feet rely:~Yet what her force
 99    46|         and fall down~Before his feet, and him in humble speech~
100    46|         ought to say~Fell on his feet; because Rogero's sword~
101    46|        prest~The paynim with his feet, his arms, and breast.~ ~
