 2     6|        That monster would have smote him with a spear,~But swiftly
 3     7|  stedfast aim, ~So hard Rogero smote her, that he bore~The beldam
 4     8|       servant made at him, and smote him sore;~The dog his left
 5     9|         practised in his lore,~Smote and transfixed the one the
 6     9| through the skies it went;~But smote not, to the assassin's foul
 7     9|        joined, he on the crest~Smote at his head so well, he
 8    12|  unshaken, nothing reeled:~And smote the king, in passing, with
 9    13|  heaven-high the foaming tide.~Smote with a north-west wind,
10    13|    chimney nigh,~Threw it, and smote by chance the knave half
11    14|   paynim thence, whom Love had smote before,~Not hopeful now,
12    15|        virtue in this need:~It smote the giant's heart with such
13    16|     the puissance of his hand.~Smote by the knight, escaped the
14    16|   slain, for all the rest.~And smote the foe who slew him with
15    16|       Of young Zerbino's peril smote the ear;~For, single and
16    16|     Moorish chief to spill.~He smote the monarch, broadside charged
17    17|      wildfire hurled;~ ~ X~And smote and thundered, 'mid a fearful

19    17|  flanks, and on the front,~All smote together at King Rodomont.~ ~
20    17|    supply;"~And on his temples smote a stroke so shear,~It seemed
21    17|     speed:~But Gryphon hardest smote, whose paynim foe~Lost his
22    18|      to ground~What knights he smote with it; and on the sand~
23    18|      in a meadow spy.~The Moor smote first, but fruitless was
24    19|       Or wounded every one she smote so sore,~She was secure,
25    20|        time, was Argilon:~For, smote by me, whom ill wind hither
26    20|      horrid sound.~Such terror smote the dames, that bent to
27    20|   field,~Firm in his seat, and smote, with levelled stock,~For
28    22|       So that Sir Sansonet was smote, and reeled,~In his departure,
29    22|      the shield had aimed, but smote not fair~The mark; and (
30    23|       and chased the rest,~And smote, and pierced, and cleft,
31    24|     could draw blood;~For iron smote the impassive skin in vain.~
32    24|        guided by a noise which smote my ear,~I saw my comrade
33    24|       strength in either hand,~Smote full the Tartar's helmet
34    24|     The trenchant sword, which smote the shield outright,~And
35    24|     beneath it, and the knight~Smote on his arm; and next the
36    24|   swing,~On his foe's forehead smote the Tartar knight,~He made
37    24|  reversed, the Sarzan king~Now smote, as if deprived of all his
38    24|  master, not at him, the sword~Smote him across the head, and
39    25|   weapon, and, amid the array,~Smote some across the gullet,
40    26|     LXXVI~Him on the left side smote that paynim peer,~And (for
41    26|     away had been conveyed:~He smote the morion which that Tartar
42    27|        askance, the assailants smote, and low~On earth heads,
43    29|        to their beast applied,~Smote in mid-breast, which, with
44    29|   turning on his youthful foe,~Smote with clenched fist, and
45    29|      which nought can meet,~-- Smote on his horse's head, a fearful
46    30|     shepherd had, wherewith he smote the peer;~Whose violence
47    30|   swerves.~ ~ LV~Had Balisarda smote him full, though crowned~
48    30|    below~The better arm, first smote his Tartar foe.~ ~ LXVI~
49    31|         had flown upright.~And smote the starry chariot of the
50    32|        Rhadamanthus sways.~She smote her eyes divine, and bosoms
51    33|       air;~Of, if he sometimes smote, he smote on part,~Where
52    33|      if he sometimes smote, he smote on part,~Where Durindana
53    33|   pinion; but on all,~As if he smote upon a bag of tow,~The strokes
54    36|       with her helmed head she smote the sand.~ ~ XLVII~Bradamant
55    36|        stayed.~Hence so Rogero smote, it never fell~Upon its
56    36|        his head,~And the sword smote upon its bird of snow,~Nor
57    37|   sword, so famed in fight,~So smote him with her fist upon the
58    39|      coming blow;~And, if ever smote, aye strove to smite~Where
59    40|        that affray,~And rarely smote an edge on plate and chain.~
60    41|      When (blessed stroke!) he smote him from his steed.~"Thou
61    41|         Sobrino on the head he smote and flung;~But straight
62    41|       devised, upon the front,~Smote with mid blade Anglantes'
63    42|        On him Orlando came and smote him just~Where with the
64    42|    croup.~Arrived the stranger smote her in the flank,~Who on
65    43|   peasant who with heavy stake~Smote mid some sapling trunks

68    45| furious sea is moved the rock,~Smote day and night by the tempestuous
69    45| hostile hand espied.~Either he smote her not, or -- die he smite --~
70    45|     not, or -- die he smite --~Smote, where he deemed least evil

72    46|   below,~With all his might he smote the paladin~With either
