Canto

 1     1|         prose or rhyme,~On whom strange madness and rank fury fell,~
 2     1|       gallant steed,~Escaped by strange adventure from his hand.~
 3     1|         foaming palfrey sped~By strange and crooked paths with furious
 4     2|       yonder steep,~And by such strange and unattempted way~Spurs
 5     2|        what I stood and saw;~So strange it seems, so passing Nature'
 6     2|         his prison-cell;~And by strange virtue of the shield disclosed,~
 7     3|       full of joy the adventure strange pursues,~Moving with ready
 8     4|          as the enchanter read, strange wonder grew:~For often times,
 9     4|       he might be sure~Many and strange adventures would be found;~
10     5|     love.'~ ~ XXXI~" `Of what a strange mistake,' (to him replied~
11     5|      quarrel bent,~With ensigns strange, not known of living wight,~
12     6|      hippogryph, huge fowl, and strange to sight,~Bears off the
13     6|         Whilom in vain, through strange and secret sluice,~Passed
14     7|        own country, sees things strange and new;~That the misjudging
15     9|      what wit and force can do.~Strange arms he bears, unknown to
16     9|   disposal, and the say~Of that strange knight, the footman well
17    11|         tear,~With thousands of strange wheels and thousand slides,~
18    11|         throng,~To witness that strange fight, who by a vain~And
19    12|      Roland, when he round that strange dome had paced~Four times
20    12|   fierce, and more,~Noosed with strange witcheries by Atlantes hoar.~ ~
21    12|        Death roams the field in strange variety~Of horrid forms,
22    14|        finished that adventure, strange and fell;~A story which
23    14|     their bodies o'er;~Moved by strange envy of the knight whose
24    14|           amid mass and prayer.~Strange Michael thought to see her
25    14|         blame,~Was heard, as in strange concord, to agree~With the
26    16|  thickening crowd among,~By the strange arms he wore and scaly hide,~
27    17|        mantle wide.~Him in this strange disguise she from the cell~
28    17|      let us go again.~By such a strange device we rescued were,~
29    18|        sluggish pace;~From that strange wood of sword, and spear,
30    19| selected for his bed.~ ~ LIX~So strange a custom of the neighbouring
31    19|     herself, remained the maid.~Strange to the sable cavalier withal,~
32    20|            CXLIV~They hence, by strange and solitary way,~Rove,
33    21|         aid his friend~Intent, (strange chance!) he wrought him
34    22|     round.~ ~ XCIV~When that so strange adventure to the rest~Of
35    22|         mid themselves but that strange case relate;~And how it
36    23|         Into the fury falls, so strange and fell,~Which in the world
37    23|        on his journey, long and strange.~ ~ XIV~Astolpho says on
38    24|          and there finds all~In strange disorder, rock and water-fall.~ ~
39    25|        sheen,~Seeking adventure strange on every side;~Or haply
40    25|        with fruitless pain,~The strange and mad desire; but speaks
41    27|         a feud;~And thence some strange result would have ensued,~ ~
42    27|    known,~(In that he had, 'mid strange and hostile nation,~And
43    28|     forsake.'~ ~ XXXIX~"At such strange spectacle, the Roman knight~
44    29|       seen, and to that warrior strange,~He would his Doralice already
45    31|   Whence woe, so direful and so strange, ensued~Cannot by me to
46    31|       save with these eyes~That strange and cruel wonder I had viewed."~
47    31|          XLVIII~By accident, so strange and sad, distrust,~Rinaldo
48    31| distraught.~ ~ LXII~Had he such strange and evil tidings heard~From
49    33|       spy~Baiardo's traces, who strange course had run;~And made
50    34|         now ill accompanied,~On strange and perilous emprize I speed;~
51    35|       and pledge my fay;~If, by strange fortune, thou thy seat maintain,~
52    36|       whilere,~Misdoubting some strange accident, in sprite,~Sore
53    36|     withdrew~Rogero, after that strange knight to speed;~Nor deemed
54    37|      Making that plaint, who in strange garb appeared:~For to the
55    39|        man from God receives;~O strange and wondrous miracle, which
56    39|        cannot be;~Or seems some strange, unlawful thing to do,~Yet
57    39|     fleet at eventide,~And that strange armament forthwith pursue,~
58    40|         stubborn grain;~And, at strange blindman's bluff, in weary
59    41|   Thereat the warrior felt, and strange it seemed~Sword cut so now,
60    42|        fair.~ ~ XXXI~A case, so strange and wondrous, marvel sore~
61    42|         how much more Rinaldo's strange demand~Sounded importunately
62    42|        hate.~ ~ XXXVIII~Of this strange story fully certified~Was
63    42|         As that to see and hear strange novelties~By natural desire
64    43|        you (she said) of virtue strange and rare:~Such was for Arthur
65    43|    Against his will, in mode so strange to view?"~She from that
66    45|   wanting with his wit;~And the strange knight with his own ensignry,~
67    45|        sun illumed the sky,~Mid strange and gloomy woods himself
68    46|        her duke in fear,~Who by strange proofs doth sift, and certify~
