Canto

 1     1|            gentle air~Which long had held him fast in Cupid's snare.~ ~
 2     1|             and astonished clown~Who held the plough (the thunder
 3     2|       Gradasso drew,~Or young Rogero held the honor light,~The King
 4     2|             he knows the damsel gay,~Held in such open and such secret
 5     3|             fame;~With Adria (better held and surer gain)~Which gives
 6     4|            hue;~In his right-hand he held an open book,~Whence, as
 7     5|           honoured and caressed,~And held in high regard, and cherished
 8     5|             a strong castle which he held hard by;~And gave me two
 9     5|            and severe,~And proud was held, and false and fraudulent.~
10     6|         grass and flowers among,~But held him, lest he should remount
11     6|       Sometime in vain kept back and held at bay.~And next the voice
12     8|         freed him from the bit which held him tight;~Who seemed an
13     8|            bred;~That of the damsels held most fair of face,~To Proteus
14     8|        turned, now seized, but never held the thought:~As when, from
15     9|            This while, we oftentimes held colloquy,~When, to be given
16     9|          prize possest;~For he still held it an ungenerous care~To
17    10|              repossess the thing she held so dear.~Love, no light
18    11|           Had seen, and had with him held colloquy,~Their times of
19    12|              may mount.~ ~  LXXIX~He held unsheathed that thundering
20    13|       fashioned food and rude,~Which held the thief and all who harboured
21    13|          Viscontis' serpents will be held in dread,~And Moro and Sforza,
22    14|             present safety, and life held in fear,~We see assured
23    14|            grasp, -- that Durindane.~Held in high value by Almontes
24    14|           known by fame, he long had held her dear,~And how his country
25    14| Strengthening with dyke each quarter held in doubt;~And had within
26    15|           fierce strife: the two ill held their own~Against him; so
27    17|          beam,~By sire and grandsire held in high esteem.~ ~ XI~Rodomont
28    17|            If 'twere a wonted feast, held every year,~Or new emprise;
29    17|           now survey;~None have been held beside. The cause which
30    17|            hill and meads.~ ~ LV~"He held his hand before the opened
31    17|             the panoply,~This he had held above all others dear;~Nor
32    17|               dear~To Norandine, and held in sovereign trust;~Youths
33    18|              the sheet untied,~Which held its sail, -- by growing
34    18|           Nor there his hunters only held at bay:~Anew he sallied,
35    18|              the Christian bands are held in chase;~And of all needful
36    18|           his though forego,~Whom he held passing dear; but fruitlessly~
37    19|            cheer,~He who at court is held in sovereign grace,~And
38    19|               and strayed~Alone, and held as cheap each living swain,~
39    19|        Worthy of praise and fame are held to be,~And, as an heir-loom,
40    19|              jousting made,~As if he held such vantage in disdain:~
41    20|           The idle law would soon be held in scorn,~And fail together
42    20|            Lately a hundred thousand held as nought,~And now, deprived
43    23|                IV~Anselm in Altaripa held command,~The count from
44    23|             The lady, who by him was held so dear;~The beauteous lady,
45    23|              Because he thought, and held for certain case,~That Roland
46    23|              at his side,~The Tartar held him, grappled by the mane.~"
47    25|           she was misled,~The damsel held it wise, reproach to shun,~
48    25|            having gained it thus, he held it dear,~-- If this had
49    26|           are worthy to be blest,~-- Held glorious and immortal when
50    26|           part:~A solemn festival is held to-day,~And we. to grace
51    26|             inexpugnable whilere was held.~ ~ XLVI~"In quelling it
52    26|             Gonsalvo Ferrant, who~Is held in such esteem, the pride
53    27|              Aimed at the bands that held the Christian creed,~Provided,
54    27|             steed,~Him he of old had held so passing dear,~Whilom
55    27|            any answer stays.~ ~ XCIV~Held on the pommel grappled by
56    28|              every faith and worship held at nought;~ ~ C~And said
57    29|          shall believe~He had better held -- aye, better bit, his
58    29|            courage and their honour, held more dear~Than life, excited
59    30|          Moor~And Frank united I had held at bay;~And shall Rogero,
60    32|            who loved thee repent?~If held so lightly be a breach of
61    32|              of her mind;~-- But he, held worthiest by the world's
62    33|            might,~Not without reason held in such renown,~Ought you
63    34|             Attentive to the vent he held his ear,~And in that troubled
64    34|           and of amplest round~Which held the wit Orlando erst possessed,~
65    35|         martial maid,~She that still held her weeping visage low,~
66    36|              of Calabria within Faro held~The warrior's heirs, who
67    37|              He of his vassals is so held in dread,~There is no man
68    37|          fell and fierce a sort;~Who held it for a grace, with loss
69    38|              suddenly, from her that held him dear,~Displeases ye,
70    38|           hand the holy book~Charles held, and fixed on heaven his
71    39|           down.~Unhappy people, ever held as cheap~-- Weighed with
72    39|            shore by Nubia's band~Was held, but he so far above it
73    42|            which he with Charles had held.~ ~ LXVIII~He pricked to
74    43|              let me hold the faith I held before.~Faith still has
75    43|           That island which Tiberius held so dear;~And trees that
76    43|             such affection, whom she held so dear,~That she obliged
77    45|          fair emprize.~ ~ C~"If I am held as taken, since the knight~
78    46|             by those kinsmen whom he held most dear;~Hence justly
79    46|             of noble race:~Sir Dudon held his stirrup: far and near~
80    46|           and pommel in his fist yet held~The paynim, which with all
81    46|             his brand;~Hammered, and held the Saracen so close,~To
