Canto

 1     2|       wings, and falling from the sky,~Shoots like a well trained
 2     2|      soars, then pounces from the sky,~And strikes the young Rogero,
 3     2|         foe he turned,~Him in the sky, and out of reach discerned.~ ~
 4     2|           on earth and him o' the sky,~Until that hour the warfare
 5     3|      virgin brave,~As through the sky the rising sun ascends,~
 6     3|         caracol and gallop in mid sky,~He bears a mortal shield
 7     4|        upturned and gazing at the sky,~As if to witness comet
 8     4|        summit, which in cloudless sky~Discovers France and Spain,
 9     6|         if its summit touched the sky,~And all appears like gold
10     7|         visions, creatures of the sky,~Concealed beneath no covering
11     8|        hill and dale, and sea and sky.~ ~ XXI~The heat and thirst
12     8|        Phoebus, plunged in ocean, sky~And nether earth had left
13     9|        put from land~With a clear sky and prosperous wind to speed.~
14     9|           but touched it, ere the sky~Is in a flame, as well as
15    10|          feathered courser in mid sky;~And oft were fain to find
16    10|      undone,~Appeared to give the sky another sun.~ ~ CX~He in
17    11|            which darting from the sky~Pierces the cloud and comes
18    11|           And now he splashed the sky, and dimmed the light~Of
19    11|          spring~We see a doubtful sky, when on the plain~A shower
20    12|           she had uplifted to the sky.~Hence him alone she for
21    12|          from their revels in the sky;~When passing on a day fair
22    14|      whelmed us from Jove's angry sky.~But ill can we rejoice,
23    14|         piercing shrieks the very sky divide~Raised by herself
24    14|      clouds are scattered and the sky turns bright;~About his
25    14|   stridulous wing, through summer sky,~Or relics of a feast, their
26    14|        wall alone, but braves the sky.~ ~ CXXI~Rodomont has no
27    15|        distance from their native sky.~But more to say were needless,
28    16|           double shower the ample sky~With wide-extended shade
29    17|        that it descended from the sky;~And matched it with another,
30    18|        wretch descending from the sky.~ ~ VII~Many there were
31    18|     threat the elements and ample sky.~ ~ XXXV~As tiger rages,
32    18|        the shore~They loose, with sky serene, and every sail~Of
33    18|           death be written in the sky,~Thou may'st the deed be
34    19|        above the sea and near the sky,~The bark is tost, with
35    19|         them with hope of clearer sky sustained~The wished appearance
36    20|      those rebel spirits from the sky~Cast out to dwell amid perpetual
37    20|      about her ploughshare in the sky;~When to the theatre the
38    20|      seemed to tremble, earth and sky,~As he in air discharged
39    23|        soar, even now went up the sky:~Nor long had rested there
40    23|           thousand pieces, to the sky.~ ~ LXXXIII~One and the
41    23|         the solid block,~Into the sky, in tiny fragments sped.~
42    24|    blaming Fortune, and the cruel sky,~Can only utter fond complaints
43    24|           rather, flashing to the sky,~Bright flames by thousands
44    25|        suddenly a falcon from the sky~Swoop mid the crowd, and
45    26|           cursed the elements and sky,~When her he saw remaining
46    27|    shouted so that Michael in the sky~Knew the glad sign of conquest
47    28|         that morning streaked the sky,~Fixt for his journey, to
48    30|          as a swallow cleaves the sky,~Furrowing the foamy wave
49    30|     Turpin truly writes, into the sky~Upwent the splinters, broke
50    31|           to summer and to winter sky:~So stout each warrior is,
51    31|           earth translated to the sky,~Will hunt thee, save that
52    32|            fall headlong from the sky;~Nor ends my woe; on other
53    32|          the fairest angel of the sky~Was banished into foul and
54    32|           forth beneath the naked sky.~ ~ LXVII~"If two. three,
55    33|          which, pouncing from the sky,~To him such outrage and
56    34|           colour from that kindly sky.~So green the grass! could
57    34|          s misty mountains to the sky,~Sainted Elias, rapt from
58    36|          praise he dwells,~As the sky reddens with the morning
59    36|           war, descended from the sky,~She deemed Rogero, for
60    37|          eyes then raising to the sky,~With joyous face all over
61    37|        bolt, dismist form burning sky,~Which, in its fury, shivers
62    38|        land, beneath such distant sky,~Such mighty host would
63    38| Charlemagne, at his altar, to the sky~Lifted his hands, "O God,
64    39|        finds no shelter; from the sky~Above, thick clouds of whistling
65    40|        And poop and prow into the sky ascended,~And the destructive
66    41|      gifts which raise men to the sky,~As the glad sun mid glittering
67    41|          unheard ascends into the sky, --~The sky, which with
68    41|      ascends into the sky, --~The sky, which with a louder larum
69    41|      field, pell-mell,~And to the sky flew every shivered lance,~
70    42|        and songs of angels in the sky,~As the soul parts, are
71    42|      roughest and most drear,~The sky disturbed he suddenly descried,~
72    42|        star was glimmering in the sky,~When, doubting on the bank
73    44|         eddying sand the troubled sky,~To carry with them, and
74    45|       hail and rain dissolves the sky;~So she upon the signal
75    45|        descending from a troubled sky.~Rogero, at his ward, with
76    45|           another sun illumed the sky,~Mid strange and gloomy
77    46|       along the sea and rends the sky.~I chiming bells, I shrilling
78    46|         with endless glory in the sky.~ ~ X~My ladies of Ferrara,
79    46|         that mount through middle sky.~ ~ CXVI~Rodomont's lance
