15     1|                CANTO 1~ ~ ARGUMENT~Angelica, whom pressing danger frights,~
16     1|            long the lady of Catay,~Angelica, had loved, and with his
17     1|          startled tread,~Than poor Angelica the bridle turns~When she
18     1|           had shown)~The beautiful Angelica is known.~ ~ XVI~Courteous,
19     1|            laid low~The brother of Angelica. That knight~Am I; -- thy
20     1|        Rinaldo hies.~But follow we Angelica, who flies.~ ~ XXXIII~Through
21     1|           disgrace;~And vainly had Angelica pursued,~Nor of the damsel'
22     1|          quit his ground, if aught~Angelica of fighting fields be taught."~ ~
23     1|           first, and vainly sighs;~Angelica the last, and hates and
24     2|           a flame.~ ~ XXI~For when Angelica, in random dread,~From the
25     8|     Charles assaulted by the Moor:~Angelica, by ruffians found at rest,~
26     8| indissoluble knot.~ ~  II~Who with Angelica's, or rather who~Were fortified
27     8|        good Rinaldo bound~My tale, Angelica remembering;~Late left,
28     8|         know; but in another page.~Angelica now slow, now faster, flies,~
29     8|            above her, had surveyed~Angelica, arrived upon the shore,~
30     8|       stubs upon the grassy shore,~Angelica, unhappy damsel, sleeps.~
31     9|           think, and next to fear,~Angelica is captive on that shore:~
32    10|      Rinaldo's levy sees,~And next Angelica beholds and frees.~ ~ ~
33    10|           lave;~And, looking down, Angelica descried~In passing, to
34    10|        worn.~ ~ CIX~He gave it now Angelica; for he~Feared lest the
35    11|          the magic ring she wears,~Angelica evanishes from view.~Next
36    11|          withhold~From taking with Angelica delight, --~That gentle
37    11|            upon her finger placed,~Angelica descried, and which of yore~
38    11|          oppressive noon-tide sun;~Angelica, within, that livelong day,~
39    12|          no less than will,~He for Angelica had land and sea~Ransacked,
40    12|         she to the sight~Seems the Angelica he loves so dear.~He who
41    12|              XV~He thinks he hears Angelica, and she~"Help, help!" entreating
42    12|       complain,~Which seemed to be Angelica's: if here~The restless
43    12|         Anglantes' peer~Seemed his Angelica, beseeching aid.~Seemed
44    12|      plenty dwell.~ ~ XXIII~But to Angelica return we, who~Now of that
45    12|           plies the rowels bright.~Angelica, this while, retrains her
46    12|         shatters, plate and chain.~Angelica alone, secure from view,~
47    12|            of Circassy,~Who deemed Angelica not far before,~When Ferrau
48    12|           mount,~By which the fair Angelica had fled.~Angelica, this
49    12|            fair Angelica had fled.~Angelica, this while, has reached
50    12|    chrystal wave untasted.~ ~ LVII~Angelica, the sylvan spring beside,~
51    12|          pursued her traces there:~Angelica no sooner him espied,~Than
52    12|      flying fair.~As soon as sweet Angelica he saw,~Towards her full
53    12|           laid him dead.~ ~  LXIII~Angelica thus, viewless and alone,~
54    12|    stripling found.~ ~ LXVI~But of Angelica I now no more~Shall speak,
55    12|        approached, to spy~If there Angelica concealed might lie.~ ~
56    19|          19~ ~ ARGUMENT~Medoro, by Angelica's quaint hand,~Is healed,
57    19|         hardly recognise the fair.~Angelica, in her (if known not) scan,~
58    19|       Catay's great khan.~ ~ XVIII~Angelica, when she had won again~
59    19|           in hand.~ ~ XX~When fair Angelica the stripling spies,~Nigh
60    19|          the gushing tide.~ ~ XXIV~Angelica alights upon the ground,~
61    19|        untouched, the virgin rose,~Angelica permits the young Medore.~
62    19|         graved, within,~MEDORO and ANGELICA were traced,~In divers cyphers
63    19|         wrought with care,~This to Angelica so much endears,~That never
64    23|          himself, that rhind~Other Angelica than his had signed.~ ~
65    23|          fruitless pain,~Beauteous Angelica, the child of grave~King
66    23|           the peer.~ ~ CXIX~How at Angelica's persuasive prayer,~He
67    23|       extended in that kind abode,~Angelica, at parting, had bestowed.~ ~
68    23|    caverned rock,~Where Medore and Angelica were read!~So scathed, that
69    27|            found,~In search of his Angelica is bound.~ ~ IX~A cunning,
70    27|          by a phantom, he believed~Angelica was with Orlando fled;~And
71    27|          Albracca, on the very day~Angelica's rare ring, and Roland'
72    29|             upon their way~Arrives Angelica with her Medore,~Who, as
73    29|          seen, than backward flies~Angelica, who, trembling sore, is
74    29|         him flew.~ ~ LXIV~At speed Angelica impelled her mare.~And whipt
75    29|            nor that I surely weet)~Angelica, while 'twixt her lips she
76    29|      nevermore subside,~Wroth that Angelica should disappear:~After
77    30|           without peer,~Since fair Angelica from hence had wended,~And
78    30|            fared,~As said, to seek Angelica in vain)~He of that pair
79    42|       Bradamant at heart,~(One for Angelica, the other sighs~For young
80    42|     Rinaldo that (as known to you)~Angelica the beauteous loved so well:~
81    42|          scanned,~That so much was Angelica more dear.~Rinaldo prayer
82    42|           the road to say~By which Angelica had sped her flight,~In
83    42|           fountain's mossy urn,~To Angelica, that long had wooed the
84    42|    displeasure deep~The journey of Angelica would move;~Nor yet would
85    42|           clear~Extinguished love; Angelica of yore~Drinking thereof,
