 1     1|          seize him by the flowing rein,~Who, swiftly turning, with
 2     2|   inexperienced page~Would better rein his charger in the course.~
 3     2|           stir,~Rebellious to the rein or goading spur.~ ~ VII~
 4     2|        and the next, with flowing rein,~Rode, till the royal city
 5     4|          XLIII~To take him by the rein the lady there~Approached,
 6     4|        was restive to the guiding rein.~ ~ XLVI~Now the bold youth
 7     6|           courser, restive to the rein.~"No, I will win by force
 8     7|         would not the controlling rein obey;~When, severed by such
 9     7|     instructed at his leisure,~To rein and run him every where
10     8|        worried; while untied~From rein, the lightened horse three
11     8|         She cannot, howsoe'er the rein she ply,~Govern the horse,
12     9|         His horse, and turned his rein, to fly the peer:~But fierce
13    10|        shook the flying courser's rein,~And lightly with the rowels
14    10|      checked his flying courser's rein)~"O lady, worthy but that
15    10|          knight first checked the rein,~And dropping in the meadow,
16    11|               I~Although a feeble rein, in mid career,~Will oft
17    12|   Brigliadoro drives with flowing rein.~ ~  VII~That felon stops
18    12|     Without a rider to direct the rein.~ ~ LXXVI~Rises a sudden
19    15|    loosening, tightening now, the rein~On the eastern winds, which
20    15|       heels, pursues with flowing rein.~Him Rabican, who marvellously
21    16|           fast his courser by the rein,~And, thence to rise not,
22    17|           the right his courser's rein and head.~ ~ XC~Yet he who
23    17|           Then makes with flowing rein his courser fly,~And next,
24    19|         others drove with flowing rein;~ ~ LXXXIII~And so she shocked
25    20|      approaching near,~She cannot rein her saucy tongue, but plies~
26    21|          to his fury as a curbing rein,~From him when safe she
27    22|        now and tightening now the rein,~Fled at a gallop or a steady
28    22|          equipt with Logistilla's rein,~To France Rogero had retraced
29    22|         To a tree Rogero left his rein, the day~Galaphron's naked
30    22|       formed by Logistilla to the rein;~And saw how well instructed
31    23|       former time, with mastering rein.~On him had charged the
32    23|          into her hand Frontino's rein;~And, if she met with one
33    23|          little thought about his rein.~Firm in his stirrups self-collected
34    23|        delivered from the guiding rein,~Made off with him, unheeding
35    23|           Doralice) "my hackney's rein,~Since for the bridle I
36    23|         his through other means a rein will be;~Since Fortune,
37    23|      Saracen designs to wring~The rein, and does the deed: upon
38    23|    pathless woods, which, without rein,~The Tartar's charger had
39    23|        CXXII~When he can give the rein to raging woe,~Alone, by
40    24|        Tartar king had stript the rein;~And the old harridan, who
41    24|        green herbage browze,~With rein yet hanging at his saddle-bows.~ ~
42    24|     bearing at the saddle-bow his rein:~She with her eyes the unhappy
43    24|            but that, with flowing rein,~A messenger arrives to
44    26|       sore,~Spurring with flowing rein, the stranger knight.~Against
45    26|          at Rodomont with flowing rein,~Like lion, whom a bull
46    26|           in due obedience to the rein,~Now took a leap, possest
47    27|          Rodomont, but turned his rein,~To end his quarrel with
48    28|        stirred to fury, broke the rein~Of patience, and assailed
49    29|        and now secures her by the rein.~ ~ LXVIII~Orlando seizes
50    29|          down, to lead her by the rein;~Who followed him with limping
51    30|        she was, behind him by the rein;~But, where a river joined
52    30|          bristle-hand lets go the rein:~Thrice with his head he
53    31|        the goodly steed Baiardo's rein,~And when his banner he
54    32|           bad to worse, without a rein,~I cannot the unbridled
55    33|         restive Italy the curbing rein;~And this; that evermore
56    33|      returns, but keeps a tighter rein,~Nor over Italy, as wont,
57    33|      their goodly coursers by the rein.~I of their war to you somedeal
58    33|        Arzilla then he turned the rein,~Above the sea that severs
59    34|         therefore, restive to the rein,~Have left his goodly task,
60    35|         hand consigned Frontino's rein.~ ~ LXII~Through long days'
61    36|       watchful daughter turns the rein;~And on one side her courser
62    36|         his king Rogero turns the rein.~ ~ LXXXIV~When a complaint
63    37|      quick rowel and the loosened rein~Made the quick coursers
64    37|         more their rebel wrath to rein,~Hurry, with their own hands
65    37|        rock-built castle turn the rein.~ ~ CXII~This without contest
66    38|            and seized them by the rein.~Thus in a thought each
67    40|          his lady fits him with a rein~And bit, which lets him
68    41|       times, with rowels and with rein;~Balked of his end, he lights
69    41| Brandimart, who guides Frontino's rein,~The goodly courser, erst
70    42|      could it be) what adamantine rein,~That can make wrath keep
71    43|           Ceased Love, so wont to rein the cavalier,~Aye to inflame
72    43|         Since here none takes his rein, Rinaldo bends~His course
73    44|        side, with him his courser rein;~Nor aught omits that monarch
74    44|  Observant of her sire, obeys the rein:~Yet prison, death, and
75    44|          king's, he steeled;~Bade rein Frontino, and his wonted
76    46|   enchantress, that will sell and rein,~Had on that day equipt
77    46|          s mighty dragon puts the rein,~And at her pleasure rules
