 1    14|         perforce, the champaign prest.~The son of Agrican his
 2    14|       loitered, where he whilom prest;~And cast about and studied
 3    14|     pushed and to the encounter prest,~Close-grappled by the collar,
 4    15|        ascend his ready pinnace prest.~"My son, unless thou loathest
 5    16|         a Saracen the champaign prest;~Whose folly was a beacon
 6    16|         post,~King Agramant had prest it from without,~The ample
 7    16|         and that the champaigne prest.~More certain proof of worth,
 8    16|        under Isolier, to battle prest.~ ~ LV~Thraso, this while,
 9    16|        of Fez upon this service prest;~For all delay might sore
10    18|         Pagan in his clutch had prest~Proud Paris, and they reached
11    18|       which he on the plunderer prest.~ ~ XXXVI~So raging, to
12    18|         The throng to view them prest, with fury blind,~And to
13    18|      that she with the falchion prest;~The head from one she severed
14    19|         buckler, solid and well prest,~A yard behind the shoulders
15    21|        only lay amazed,~By pity prest, Zerbino leapt to ground,~
16    21|          And with more boldness prest her former suit.~`Mark what
17    21| oftentimes that shameless woman prest~The good Philander, but
18    22|    closely each is by the other prest;~While so delighted are
19    22|        courtesy the good Rogero prest,~To let her from his sell
20    22|     pride~Was at his flank, and prest him in his round,~Hunting
21    22|  faithless Pinnabel, and sorely prest;~And many times had buried
22    23|      from the disastrous valley prest.~ ~ XLIV~A spacious town,
23    23|       along the road, across it prest~A fourth; this squats in
24    23|  without more delay or scruple, prest~To cast her arms about her
25    23|        Tumbled Orlando, when he prest the plain.~King Mandricardo'
26    23|         spirits and awoke;~Then prest the faithful Brigliadoro'
27    24|        on his way, I think, had prest,~When he beheld a captive
28    24|         by which the Prince was prest;~So that poor Isabel, distraught
29    26|         in succession three had prest the plain.~A mark well worthy
30    26|     appearance, from the forest prest~A cruel Beast and hideous
31    26|      noontide, and fine carpets prest,~'Mid shrubs, by which the
32    26|     knight, who him so hard has prest,~I trust my injury shall
33    26|     from the herbage which they prest,~Deeming they had to joust
34    26|        fault not mine; for I am prest~To do whate'er is fitting,
35    26|   Marphisa has king Mandricardo prest~Meanwhile, and makes him
36    26|   against that youthful warrior prest;~Who an ill guerdon would
37    27|      Sarzan's footsteps quickly prest;~ ~ CXIV~And would have
38    28|       praises so were blown,~He prest, till Faustus promised him
39    28|      bark, as when his steed he prest.~Such fire was not by water
40    29|      poison form these herbs be prest.~With this will I anoint
41    31|         an-end with Aquilant he prest,~Gryphon, Alardo, and Vivian
42    32|        famous fight.~The damsel prest him all he knew to say:~
43    33|      Aymon's beauteous daughter prest.~She here, she there, her
44    33|     bigger than that courser -- prest.~Above three yards in length
45    34|         house, towards Astolpho prest;~Crimson his waistcoat was,
46    34|       elder is so nimble and so prest,~That he seems born to run;
47    35|       he at the first encounter prest;~As if equipt with wings,
48    36|    Marphisa, who was there, and prest~By huge desire to meet the
49    38|        honoured seat in council prest,~And in these words the
50    39|       on the casque, that Dudon prest the shore:~With that, Sir
51    39|       mid many reasons which he prest,~That home was sweet, and --
52    39|   warfare's state declare:~Then prest with siege Biserta, far
53    40|        galling spur his courser prest;~Meanwhile a hundred other
54    41|       too hard the mortal peril prest.~ ~ XVIII~Perceiving now
55    42|     Rinaldo fled the field, and prest~With all his spurs his courser
56    43|     understood~The thought that prest the cavalier so sore,~Made
57    43|     rich he should not her have prest;~For, these assaults, these
58    43|      and on his road in earnest prest;~And truly felt, on wheeling
59    43|       gem, new-dropt, on her he prest,~And bade her to the lady
60    43|       is now a beam; so sore~It prest him; on his heart so heavy
61    43|        pages followed them, who prest~A hundred puissant steeds,
62    44|       his host repair;~When Leo prest him sore, and with strong
63    44|      closely as they could they prest,~And happy those are deemed,
64    44|      had escaped his hand, sore prest~And scared as never yet
65    46|      made an ending staid;~Then prest before the listening troop,
66    46|     accustomed helm his temples prest.~For on that bridge which
67    46|        wounded was the warrior, prest~The paynim with his feet,
