 1     6|       two parts: A cruel dame~A bridge maintains, which there a
 2     6|     paid:~They talking thus the bridge and river see,~And at her
 3     7|      where Eriphila in guard~Of bridge and stream was seen, the
 4     7|         the cavalier~Before the bridge, prepared for battle, showed,~
 5     8|         his side:~He passed the bridge, and broke the palisade,~
 6     8|  whispered in his ear,~And (the bridge quickly lowered, and passage
 7     9|         Its brim, and burst the bridge, and passage stopt.~ ~ IX~
 8    14|         the king's command;~And bridge and boat; and, what might
 9    14|        Within the city walls, a bridge that bore~(Roomy and large)
10    16|       leads~Up to St. Michael's bridge, so thronged a space,~Rodomont,
11    16|      the river's bed~Had cast a bridge; from whence his English
12    16|      the upper way explored.~He bridge, and boat, and means to
13    18|    train,~When to their woe the bridge is raised; of one,~Upon
14    18|  protection goes,~Upon a little bridge takes up his ground,~That
15    18|       array.~Then on the narrow bridge resumed his stand,~Nor there
16    18|      Horatius keep,~Singly, the bridge against all Tuscany;~And
17    18|   margin neared,~Bade lower the bridge, and issued, horse and man,~
18    18|      three friends had gained~A bridge, and facing round the post
19    19|        lay hold,~And lowers the bridge; o'er which, in warlike
20    20|         forbore:~These from the bridge in that dread moment drop,~
21    22|        fared, when they~Reached bridge and gate, the place of forfeitry,~
22    22|       made reply,~"Clear of the bridge!" -- Nor did in this missay;~
23    24|       all France, and reached a bridge one day;~Beneath which ran
24    27|      For all too narrow was the bridge's floor,~An wished, like
25    28|      took his way,~And the rich bridge in Avignon descried.~For
26    29|     spirit in vain.~He builds a bridge, and strips those thither
27    29|      some time to lie.~A narrow bridge, and only two yards wide,~
28    29|     Long, but so scanty is that bridge, with pain~The narrow pass
29    29|         his feet.~He wills that bridge's toll be dearly paid~By
30    29|    shorter time, was placed~The bridge, whose arch across the stream
31    29|       any knight~Approached the bridge, was wont his lord to warn,~
32    29|      bank that king defied:~The bridge affords the field their
33    29|         The tower and tomb, the bridge, scarce finished, stood:~
34    29|    armed for fight,~When to the bridge approached Anglantes' knight.~ ~
35    29|      barrier tops, and o'er the bridge would fly,~But sullen Rodomont,
36    29|      for thee, dull slave, that bridge was meant."~To this no heed
37    29|         place~That towards that bridge across the river rode,~Richly
38    29|       XLIV~When Flordelice that bridge and tower was near,~(So
39    29|       ashore.~ ~ XLIX~Along the bridge which spanned that foaming
40    29|         left behind him stream, bridge tower, and cell.~ ~ L~'Twere
41    31|        added next, how from the bridge's top,~Embraced by Rodomont,
42    31|      tells him how the perilous bridge's floor~From cavaliers king
43    31|         daily post till to that bridge they ride,~Which Argier'
44    31|      spear,~Thundered along the bridge, in fierce career.~ ~ LXVIII~
45    31|       ever used to go~Upon that bridge's fearful pass, where one~
46    31|     course is gone.~Quivers the bridge beneath, as it would sink:~
47    31|         just,~Upon the perilous bridge encountering sore,~Exchange,
48    31|        flank,~He on that little bridge no footing found;~For all
49    31|      second leap~Which from the bridge had made that infidel!~Who,
50    31|      the knight below.~From the bridge looks his lady, sore bested,~
51    31|       warrior shown,~How at the bridge Orlando she had known.~ ~
52    32|    reign.~He lures not from his bridge that knight of pride,~Who
53    33|        of Palestine;~And with a bridge, achieved at mighty cost,~
54    33|      drowning bands behind,~His bridge destroyed by wasting waves
55    35|        valiant heir,~Who at the bridge had left her lord a thrall,~
56    35|       for her needs;~And of the bridge and river 'gan recite,~Where
57    35| vantage-ground~In that streight bridge and foaming river found.~ ~
58    35|     little boot shall bring~His bridge and river to the pagan king.~ ~
59    35|        Straight to the paynim's bridge resolves to hie;~And now
60    35|         deep stream arrived and bridge of dread:~-- Seen of the
61    35|       brand,~And takes upon the bridge his wonted stand;~ ~ XLI~
62    35|        mighty sound~Echoes that bridge, the thundering noise might
63    35|     Then headlong on the narrow bridge extends.~ ~ XLIX~Scarce
64    35|         paynim monarch from the bridge of dread;~As Rodomont permitted
65    35|    enclosure sped,~And o'er the bridge and through the gateway
66    39|      carried those, whom at the bridge of dread,~-- On that so
67    39|        his foe~At that streight bridge, had nigh distracted gone.~
68    44|        the intermediate Save.~A bridge across that rapid stream
69    44|       one,~And with pontoons to bridge the stream supplied;~And
70    44|       the farther bank,~Uniting bridge and bark together, crost~
71    44|    Grecian cavalier~Recrost the bridge by which he past whilere.~ ~
72    44|      intervening tide.~From the bridge many drop, and drown withal;~
73    44|      doth ride.~For towards the bridge is royal Leo flown;~Haply
74    44|     free;~And then destroys the bridge and burns his fleet.~Rogero
75    45|    Arrived, because not all the bridge could gain)~Knew what a
76    46|  Received from her, when on the bridge he fell,~Never to clothe
77    46|      temples prest.~For on that bridge which spanned the narrow
