 1     1|     stood.~ ~ XXIV~Beside the water, where he stoop'd to drink,~
 2     1|   earth teems, and freshening water flows,~And breeze and dewy
 3     3|     crew, by night or day,~By water or by land, will shame the
 4     6|     monstrous backs above the water, sail~Ork, physeter, sea-serpent,
 5     6|    size~The hugest yet in any water seen:~More than eleven paces,
 6     6|      And through the yielding water works his way.~Repentant
 7     8|  damsel bright~Directs, which water face and breast with tears,~
 8     8|   damsel, sleeps.~To wood and water there the sailor's moor,~
 9     8|    nightly planet shed,~Clear water has the quivering radiance
10    10|   tears deplore:~And, as cold water, on the cauldron shed,~Shops
11    10|   waves to leap.~But from the water lifts at length her sight,~
12    11|     His level sight along the water thrown,~Naked as born, bound
13    11|    the clear sun, so high the water flew.~The noise re-echoing
14    11|     liquid font~She threw the water in Actaeon's front.~ ~ LIX~
15    11|  sight~Was dripping, and with water foul and gore;~With gore,
16    12|    valley, running stream, or water pent,~The land and sea;
17    13|    ruddy flame~Has warmed, or water had the power to wet,~Or
18    14|      er from side to side the water wheeled.~Even such a spot
19    14|        like plenteous vein of water, strayed~Into the beauteous
20    14|      While streams of boiling water pouring down,~Insufferably
21    14|   moat,~Plunging in filth and water to his throat.~ ~ CXX~Dripping
22    14|    CXX~Dripping and foul with water and with weeds,~'Mid fire
23    14|       into the briny bay,~The water of the rapid Rhine descends.~
24    14|     thirst;~Aye wonted simple water to decline,~Like viper's
25    14|      most affliction, dies by water.~ ~ CXXV~Lewis the Provencal
26    15|       in my bark to cross the water;~For yonder path conducts
27    15|   wont to won~Ashore or under water, and to prey,~For food,
28    15|      through this, more near.~Water there is along this rugged
29    18|  horrid heap,~And stained the water with that bloody dye,~He
30    19|      to feed the greedy tide.~Water to water others of the number~
31    19|     the greedy tide.~Water to water others of the number~Rendered,
32    19|      for peace and for smooth water prayed,~With trembling voices
33    19|      of hell,~And in Avernus' water slaked by spell.~ ~ LXXXV~

35    22|       Filled to the brim with water was the well;~Heavy the
36    23|    quickly issue; so to abide~Water is seen, imprisoned in the
37    23| himself, how such a spring~Of water from his eyes could stream
38    24|       the third;~And the vext water waxes evermore,~And louder
39    24|    Beneath which ran an ample water's tide,~Of steep and broken
40    25|      She in an instant to the water flies.~-- `Me hast thou
41    25|    branch imbued~With Lethe's water; and he slept till -- white~
42    26|   others, much shall save,~As water never fails in plenteous
43    26|      thick seams the restless water spout,~ ~ CXII~So, while
44    27|      warrior drowning in that water found,~And stemmed the stream
45    28|      scorn;~Since on the holy water he had sworn.~ ~  XLV~"Then
46    28|      dawn of day,~Resolved by water to pursue his way.~ ~ LXXXVI~
47    28|   prest.~Such fire was not by water to be drowned,~Nor he his
48    28|      small relief,~By land or water, for his secret grief.~ ~
49    29|      Vouched of that wondrous water shall appear;~And force
50    29| assurance swore,~In case that water rendered him what fell~Achilles
51    29|   must drain~Huge draughts of water in his fall, parforce,~He
52    29|    wine prompts to do or say,~Water, as well as wine, could
53    30|    brim~Arrived, his horse to water in the tide;~Nor when he
54    30|      Breathed softly, and the water gently flowed;~And well
55    30|       the guide,~Him from the water drew near Ceuta's shore,~
56    31|       senses shall in Lethe's water steep.~ ~ L~His squadron
57    31|   knows,~Where shallow is the water, where profound:~With breast
58    31|   court;~Some warrior good by water and by land,~That with the
59    32|       lies in mire and marshy water.~ ~ LXXVII~When at three
60    33|    While, swoln not more with water than with blood,~Tanarus
61    33|    and drowning in that fatal water."~ ~ XXXV~(The lord pursues) "

63    35|      air,~All from the turbid water seek to draw~The names,
