Canto

 1     1|    sight~Changed into senseless stone appeared the knight.~ ~
 2     1|        mournful wailings rent a stone.~And so he sighed and wept;
 3     2|       aid, and down the path of stone~Which winds about the craggy
 4     3|        may suffice to scale~The stone, and give my lines a right
 5     3|      name.~The tomb, of hardest stone which masons use,~Shone
 6     4|      signs, upturned~A virtuous stone, where, underneath the sill,~
 7     5|    other would have read:~Him a stone's throw removed he placed,
 8     6|     thee transformed to wave or stone,~Thou shalt, with more than
 9     6|      winds,~And one on whirling stone the weapon grinds.~ ~ LXXVI~
10     8|     damsel bound upon the naked stone.~ ~ LXVIII~Oh! if this chance
11     9|       branch and overthrows the stone;~And wheresoe'er he turns
12    10|      her infant son;~Fixed on a stone she gazed upon the sea,~
13    10|         sea,~Nor less than real stone seemed stone to be.~ ~ XXXV~
14    10|     less than real stone seemed stone to be.~ ~ XXXV~But let her
15    10|      not fastened to the rugged stone:~But with her tears (for
16    11|     splits or shivers steel and stone outright,~And, where the
17    11|      hand might serve to cast a stone,~He knew not if he heard,
18    13|        so sometimes, with heavy stone oppressed,~A knot of slimy
19    13|     Sage Merlin from the hollow stone divined.~For I should leave
20    14|       with weeds,~'Mid fire and stone, and arbalests, and bows,~
21    16|          Wheel and machine, and stone from engine sent,~And (what
22    16|     heart, though harder than a stone.~Happy! if, with such excellence
23    17|     hall or bower;~But wood and stone endure one common fate,~
24    17|      flies.~ ~ XII~Nor bulwark, stone, nor arbalest, nor bow,~
25    17| swallowed clean;~Then moved the stone, which closed that cavern
26    17|     guide,~Where, prisoned by a stone, in her retreat,~Was hid
27    17|     feigns!~The orc removed the stone, unbarred the cote,~And
28    17|     little, scaped the grinding stone:~Yet him the hope detained
29    18|    bears out on a hard grinding stone;~Seized by the breast, the
30    18|       well-keyed into the solid stone,~Groans upon Alpine height
31    18|       somewhile hammered on the stone.~Pride, underneath, the
32    18|     king regards, nor rock, nor stone,~Nor stream: -- Nor length
33    19|      rock, if yielding were the stone,~The knife was straight
34    22|      the threshold lay;~And the stone raised which kept him fast
35    22|         takes a large and heavy stone;~Which to the shield he
36    22|         was the well;~Heavy the stone, and heavy was the shield;~
37    23|      the lines imprest~Upon the stone that wretch perused, in
38    23|   secure.~ ~ CXXXI~For he turf, stone, and trunk, and shoot, and
39    25|         prayer, more stiff than stone,~Nor would consent that
40    26|        more white.~There in the stone choice figures chisseled
41    26|       names are graved upon the stone,~Not yet have moved upon
42    27|     swifter flight~The circling stone by which the grain is brayed,~
43    27|         house aggrieve,~Nor one stone standing on another leave.~ ~
44    27|        be more firmly graved in stone:~And what I thought and
45    31|     thrall!~For if thou on this stone suspend his gear,~Amid whatever
46    32|    serve to hide the monumental stone.~ ~ VI~Marphisa would not
47    33|       pearl, full many a costly stone.~Here thrives the balm;
48    34|     Heaven changed her flesh to stone, and here to be~Tormented,
49    34|          It seemed one polished stone of sanguine dye.~O mighty
50    35|   Bradamant hung upon the lofty stone;~And having thence removed
51    35|         left suspended from the stone;~Mid these a king's, that
52    36|         had made more hard than stone.~ ~ XLI~Would she not, could
53    37|      the mastiff runs towards a stone,~Which has been flung by
54    37|         And they from thence, a stone's-throw distant, see~A troop,
55    37|       From that before upon the stone imprest,~Which every woman
56    39|      close at hand, dismay;~For stone or arrow following in his
57    40|        by the ceaseless fall~Of stone and dart, in safety cavalier~
58    41|      forty years, since on that stone~The goodly friar had fixed
59    42|       host the day that weighty stone~Wounded thy forehead with
60    42|       speaks the writing on the stone:~"Her consort Beatrice,
61    43|     against gold of no avail~Is stone, or steel to hardest temper
62    43|     that whilere~Laid the first stone of this rude villagery;~
63    44|          are changed at once to stone;~So that the steeds return
64    44|          and every hard-grained stone~That best resists the griding
65    46|     heart was not of iron or of stone;~Who deemed, unless he now
66    46|       suspended from the votive stone~He left; as I, meseems,
