Canto

 1     1|          not stood the deafening blows.~It now behoves the palfrey
 2     1|          freshening breeze which blows.~Through this two clear
 3     2|          discerned.~ ~ LIII~"His blows Rogero, now Gradasso, bruise~
 4     2|     While he the warrior's empty blows eschews,~Shifting so quickly
 5     2|          deadly feud:~And oft to blows the rival houses came,~And
 6     4|   assured her sight:~Yet she her blows discharges at the wind;~
 7     5|      foul reproach are said?~And blows and outrage hase their peace
 8     5|       made that fell exchange of blows,~And strove and struggled
 9     8|        with which this whirlwind blows,~Joust warring winds, north,
10     9|      north-west, and freshening, blows so sore,~The mariners are
11     9|       which for the cruel island blows.~ ~ XCII~Such was the paladin'
12    11|          sometimes dies away,~Or blows so foul, that he is fain
13    11|       now thrusts, now trenchant blows.~As well as citadel, whose
14    11|          can; at half a score~Of blows in all he thirty killed;
15    13|          and bred,~Gained in few blows such vantage in the fray,~
16    14|        hand~Scatters when Boreas blows the fires to feed;~What
17    14|           Stricken with frequent blows, the town affray;~And in
18    14|      amid a storm of strokes and blows.~ ~ CXI~Nor in this was
19    15|        with favouring wind which blows astern;~And (coasting) round
20    15|      hopes with small expense of blows~To pluck the hair, the wizard-wight
21    15|         LXXXIII~After a thousand blows, Astolpho sped~One stroke,
22    16|           they aimed their cruel blows,~With lances at each other'
23    16|          and fickle breeze which blows in May:~Or as the sea which
24    17|        to banish to the sound of blows,~Who passing little of its
25    18|          wind Marphisa's gallery blows,~For France with Gryphon
26    18|         had been uprooted by the blows.~ ~  X~Rainier and Guido,
27    18|      Through the long day, dogs, blows, and ceaseless scorn;~Who
28    18|        in each genial gale which blows from land.~ ~ CXXXIX~A fruitful
29    19|        the wind on the third day~Blows, and the sea more yeasty
30    19|          home, or smite in vain,~Blows ring, and echo parted aether
31    19|          head~Against his deadly blows." This colloquy~She with
32    19|         Now to avoid the furious blows; when day~Was done, again
33    21|   eventide,~They a mixt sound of blows and outcries hear,~Which
34    23|            Who deals such mighty blows?" -- one made reply,~That
35    23|      Fail in the combat, and few blows resist;~Both rage with mightier
36    23|         satiate with innumerable blows,~That cruel hangman Love
37    23|       Love, who with his pinions blows~The fire about my heart,
38    24|    Already echoed are a thousand blows;~Nor yet well entered are
39    24|          such a warfare and such blows give birth,~As suits with
40    24|           now there, with deadly blows,~To rive the plate, or penetrate
41    24|      flinch.~ ~ CII~Mid thousand blows, so, with two-handed swing,~
42    24|     circling blades, and furious blows,~With which no other hands
43    26|         at the champion's horrid blows;~She marvels how in vain
44    26| terminate their deadly strife by blows.~To him Rogero cried, "The
45    27|         the sable angel, who his blows~Aimed at the bands that
46    27|   Unearthed, and with a thousand blows pursued;~When from some
47    27|        Such horrid fury and such blows severe,~She speedily to
48    27|          ribaldry,~From words to blows; and through their mickle
49    30|          in armour and his bugle blows.~ ~ XLV~When that loud sound
50    30|          yet resists such mighty blows with pain.~The champions
51    30|      slain.~By one of those fell blows which either knight~So well
52    31|       Their cruel and despiteous blows resound,~Re-echoing wide,
53    33|       awhile, and from the skies~Blows back anew the rising cloud
54    33|       was their temper, from all blows~By such repeated trial so
55    35|         seen beneath those heavy blows~The rest dismounted, makes
56    36|       and both divisions come to blows.~ ~ XXIX~On this side and
57    38|        towards the Bears in fury blows:~There finds a cave, through
58    39|           wherewith he puffs and blows.~For, save his nostrils,
59    40|       and the Dane exchange rude blows.~ ~ ~ I~The diverse chances
60    40|      defiance speak, and come to blows.~ ~ LXXIX~Bold Dudon had
61    40|     faulchion's flat descend the blows.~ ~ LXXXII~The flat as featly
62    41|    troubled bark about.~ ~ X~Now blows the wind in front, and now
63    41|        Boreas in his sudden fury blows,~Scourges with tattered
64    41|       the importunate flood, and blows~With his unwearied breath
65    41|      sailed in her are gone;~And blows the vessel from those shallows
66    41|      count, redoubling still his blows,~Thought from the trunk
67    42|          cleft as by a hatchet's blows;~And, had it been than spungy
68    42|       Ever meanwhile with random blows and wide;~With forestroke,
69    42|        in her rear~With frequent blows, like tempest in its ire;~
70    43|       obscures the day.~The wind blows fair, and on the starboard
71    43|       wind, that in their favour blows,~They loose their hawser
72    44|         gave,~Which in such fury blows at noon, on high~I moves
73    44|       not once, before~He by his blows a single scale displaced,~
74    45|         her anger waxes; she her blows~Redoubling, yet the harness
75    46|      shore.~Then, since the wind blows fair, nor much to do~Remains,
76    46|         portion of those griding blows~From biting to the quick,
77    46|         no time, and with fierce blows~Smote him in face and bosom
