Canto

 1     1|     field had been, and viewed,~Short time before, king Charlemagne'
 2     1|      puts to present test;~Cuts short his haughty threats and
 3     1|       valued while alive, dropt short and dead:~The stranger's,
 4     1|         frolic glee,~Whom, some short season past, he had not
 5     2|          and stops their battle short.~ ~ XVI~"In courtesy," he
 6     2|        the wind, and stops them short,~"So poor a penance will
 7     4|       to the liquid air,~And at short distance lit, half-mountain
 8     4|      moist valley dropt,~And at short distance from Rogero stopt.~ ~
 9     4|        rowels bright.~He runs a short career; then upward springs.~
10     5|         myself this cheat,~I in short time shall quench my amorous
11     7|         and rare,~A foot, neat, short, and round, beneath is spied.~
12     7|        most, and swore~That few short days should pass before
13     8|        to cut her cruel pastime short,~If she with mortal man
14     9|   safety could be done, behold,~Short of my own destruction, had
15    10|        the cauldron shed,~Shops short the bubbling wave, which
16    10|         the interval between is short.~Half dead the lady is through
17    11|       Deemed that he would have short resistance made;~Since him
18    14| well-dried fen or stubble-land,~Short time the stalk endures,
19    14|      bands of valour tried,~And short to them a tedious distance
20    14|      canto, hoarse, and needing short repose.~ ~
21    16|      his foe was near;~And that short interval, that small expanse,~
22    16|    espied,~He turned the bridle short to speed away,~But him with
23    17|      from the den,~And stopt us short; but feeling wool or hair~
24    17|       might ill entreat.~So, by short ways and close, they quit
25    18|         lodged them in the town short time before.~ ~ XI~Not so,
26    18|          Ruled by Tardocco some short time before;~The other one
27    18|     hangman's scourge,~And only short of death his penance urge.~ ~
28    18|      other cleft: another sank,~Short of right arm or left, or
29    18| moulders iron, and here life is short;~-- A marsh the cause, --
30    18|        the marish spring,~After short sojourn there, compel their
31    18|        and his talk cut quickly short,~Coming where learned Alpheus
32    19|    throat,~And cut his question short in middle note.~ ~ X~Zerbino,
33    19|         wife and children; and, short time before,~The brent-new
34    19|         Her lofty prow to their short stern and low~These lash,
35    19|      fight;~Nor does fatigue so short a toil succeed,"~Answered
36    20|        who~Reigned with his ten short time, was Argilon:~For,
37    20|    there other passage, long or short.~Sir Guido so to his companions
38    20|       shame in Pinabel,~Who for short answer seized his shield
39    22|      two~Divide the ground, and short is the delay.~For they against
40    23|        XLIII~Zerbino after some short space came back,~Who vainly
41    24|   Natives or foreigners, in one short line~Upon the sapling's
42    24|      LXV~And, but that somewhat short the blow descends,~It would
43    24|        fact recount,~Weens, for short season will the Tartar foe~
44    24|      and his heat secede,~After short interval, his anguish grows;~
45    24|         through:~But he reposed short time ere he descried~An
46    25|      Tis true, this hair, which short and loose you see,~In many
47    25|     heal the damsel's sore,~Cut short to the mid-ear her tresses
48    25|      the waning day was growing short,~For the low sun was crimsoning
49    25|        That I return after such short delay;~For, haply, thou
50    26|          The mountain track was short, but trod with pain;~That
51    26|       martial steed, in turning short,~Where a firm footing that
52    27|     those armies two.~Here they short counsel took, and next opined,~
53    29|       round, in measure full or short,~Of Graecian wine two barrels
54    29|          LXVI~If but two inches short had fallen his prey,~Upon
55    30|        bird,~To cut the quarrel short, and lest delay~Be further
56    32|     poet dreamed,~But will fall short of thine, if thou wilt set~
57    32|     furious giant, in her need,~Short time before that gentle
58    33|        by fever slain;~And that short joy, long sorrow, profit
59    33|       and near,~Then, or within short space, and in that age,~(
60    33|     Switzer's horn,~That little short of spent their bands remain;~
61    34|         and he in less~Than one short twelvemonth left us neither
62    34|         to us, in less than one~Short month, the kingdom by my
63    37|        cut his terms of waiting short;~Nor does the miserable
64    37|       coursers make that labour short.~Never had those assaulted
65    38|     altar rear.~ ~ LXXVII~After short pause, was seen upon the
66    39| levelled spears~Are seen in one short instant here and there.~
67    39|        leave unshown,~Since for short time I lay my tale aside.~
68    40|      save thou art gone,~He for short time will fill thine Africk
69    40|      Was wandering void of wit, short while ago,~The fittest cure
70    41|         to prow,~And even there short season doth remain:~The
71    41|        unpitying skies:~But for short space that shrilling cry
72    41|         leapt on horseback all;~Short parley past the puissant
73    41|         I know not, I,~But such short time is left him to complain,~
74    42|         that damsel but for one short day.~ ~ XLV~The thought
75    42|          This will I signify; a short delay."~Wending together,
76    43|         pledged my vow;~When in short time (the manner shall be
77    43|         by our natal influence, short~Of death; but with immortal
78    43|       paladin for more~Than one short eye, with them to make abode;~
79    44|         and tight,~That nothing short of death the tie could loose.~
80    45|         made him soar;~That for short season, for revenge deferred,~
81    45|       prowess in the field fell short;~Not only had his sovereign
82    45|       tied.~Be his life long or short, or what it may,~Albeit
83    46|       the vigour which some few~Short days before, in fighting
