 1     1|     Believes itself between the monster's fangs,~ ~ XXXV~One day
 2     2|     vain.~This in the feathered monster breeds no fear;~Who to a
 3     2|     wizard seems to choose,~The monster makes such spacious rings
 4     6|   unbound,~Release me from this monster, I beseech:~Griefs of my
 5     6|         pile,~And idly take the monster for an isle.~ ~ XXXVIII~"
 6     6|        With that she showed the monster huge and long~-- I said
 7     6| followed, me~Detained upon that monster in mid-sea,~ ~ XLIII~"Till
 8     6|         this transformed into a monster strays;~Another melts into
 9     6|       naked blade.~ ~  LXV~That monster would have smote him with
10     7|        Although upon no bit the monster foams,~Docile, I know not
11     8|        at rest,~Is offered to a monster on the shore.~Orlando, warned
12     8|      woman's flesh the ravening monster, who~For this came every
13     8|         shouldst make a hideous monster's prey~The beauty, for which
14     9|         to reach that isle, the monster's seat.~ ~ LIX~Through the
15    10|     bore away,~Destined to be a monster's evil prey:~ ~ XCIV~There
16    10|       destined port.~So the sea monster to his food repairs:~And
17    10|      troubled waves so sore~The monster beats, that they ascend
18    10|       best,~With other arms the monster to pursue;~And lifting from
19    10|    another sun.~ ~ CX~He in the monster's eyes the radiance throws,~
20    10|      him not to bray~Longer the monster's rugged scale in vain.~"
21    10|   mid-way.~Let me not this foul monster's food remain."~By her just
22    10|       Who of his banquet so the monster cheat;~For him too delicate
23    11|        Whose foul inhabitants a monster sate~With flesh of women,
24    11|      stored,~If I but meet that monster of the brine."~He bade them
25    11|       XXXVII~As soon as him the monster has descried,~And skiff
26    11|             XXXVIII~So that the monster could no longer drop~Or
27    11|   defend her from her foes,~The monster, harassed by the war within,~
28    11|         whose double fluke, the monster bleeds.~The labouring orc
29    11|        and thousand slides,~The monster follows where the cable
30    11|  changed its hue;~And where the monster lashed it in his spite,~
31    11|         vengeance for the cruel monster slain,~Whence he had glory
32    11|         was placed, to feed the monster brought.~He looks, and known
33    11| understood~How lifeless lay the monster of the flood;~ ~ LX~And,
34    15|       For so was the despiteous monster hight);~Who decked his house
35    15|        The fight, who brought a monster to the fray,~Found only
36    15|    danger, unaware.~ ~ LXIX~The monster, slaughtered by the brethren
37    17|  astound,~The orc, that fearful monster, we discern.~God grant,
38    17|        To calculate the griesly monster's height,~(So measureless
39    17|     nose.~ ~ XXXI~"Running, the monster comes, and bears his snout~
40    17|        to his den the sightless monster carried,~Hollowed within
41    17|   Heaven, my son, lest thee~The monster smell, and on thy body fare;~
42    17|       hither I was brought, the monster's prey.~ ~ LI~" `For though
43    17|    trick he told, wherewith the monster's smell~To cheat, as first
44    17|      Nor any issuing thence the monster kept,~Till thither, sore
45    17|         he advanced even to the monster's snout,~And, but by little,
46    17|         here expected, till the monster lay~Extended, underneath
47    18|  prisoned, to engage~The savage monster, for the mob's delight;~
48    18|    greenwood holt, of beast and monster fell,~-- A huntress bold --
49    21|      more,~Took that abominable monster, who~More cruel was than
50    26|        the ground' where'er the monster wends,~Each fortress opens;
51    26|         lion seems against that monster drear~To issue, with the
52    26|         is he hight,~Who in the monster's breast a dart has pight.~ ~
53    26|     this be taught:~The hideous monster, that to bay is brought?"~--
54    26|        to our day,~Aye has that monster grown, and aye will grow;~
55    26|      not by half this loathsome monster nigh,~In all its foulness
56    26|       others, who had laid that monster dead,~Which to slay others
57    26|    Medici,~Hunt and fatigue the monster in his flight:~Nor Julian
58    26|      those combined, to lay the monster dead,~Shall none more forward
59    26|     those that have the hideous monster slain:~But these are few
60    28|           A scorned and crooked monster,' (then he cried,)~`Is,
61    28|        least his had not with a monster paired.~ ~ XXXVII~"To the
62    33|   LXXXIV~They good Baiardo by a monster view,~-- A bird, and bigger
63    33|     length appeared to view~The monster's beak; a bat in all the
64    33|        and despair,~Against the monster strives with kick and bite;~
65    33|        Baiardo swiftly from the monster fled.~ ~  LXXXVIII~Baiardo
66    33|      spray;~Above the feathered monster flaps, with eyes~Intent
67    37|       me,~Who this fell impious monster, in his fane,~Offer, as
68    42|    issuing from a cavern hoar~A monster, which a woman's likeness
69    42|        her breast, and girt the monster round.~ ~ XLVIII~What in
70    42|  faulchion strains.~ ~ XLIX~The monster so the fierce assault did
71    42|         plants a blow.~ ~ L~The monster threw a serpent at his breast,~
72    42|      But not behind the hellish monster halts,~Who in a thought
73    42|         save him from the cruel monster's hands.~ ~ LV~The stranger
74    42|     cold,~Nor can he thrust the monster from his croup.~Arrived
75    42|         leaves a moment to that monster fell~To strike one stroke
76    43|         some elder's, fall some monster's prey.~ ~ V~Not without
