Canto

 1     1|      seen in valley blind,~Or mountain, feared Rinaldo was behind.~ ~
 2     2|   wood, and that wood past, a mountain;~And stopt at length beside
 3     2|  Which winds about the craggy mountain, press.~While I, upon the
 4     2|      too, that from a distant mountain gazed,~Fell senseless; and
 5     2|    gloomy wood:~Where a rough mountain reared its shaggy back,~
 6     2|    darkness grow;~And, yonder mountain past, (save I mistake)~A
 7     2|       the height~Of that lone mountain; in his evil mind~Revolving,
 8     4|   wood to wood, from mount to mountain hoar,~They clomb a summit,
 9     4|   smooth upon four parts, the mountain bare~Seemed fashioned with
10     4|      pair, before~They at the mountain's foot the cleft espy,~With
11     4|     band, descending from the mountain's crest;~And finds the hippogryph,
12     6|     name) command,~But that a mountain here, and there a sound,~
13     6|  invading band.~'Tis thus the mountain and the river bound~England,
14     6|        Would scale the Alpine mountain's very height:~ ~ LVI~`But
15     6|       I will win by force the mountain stair,"~Rogero said; (but
16     6|       Strains now against the mountain; but, in wait,~Encounters
17     7|    traveller, he, whom sea or mountain sunder~From his own country,
18     8|       that lay~'Twixt sea and mountain, open to the south,~Deserted,
19     8|  sunbeams on the neighbouring mountain beat~And glare, reflected
20     8|       And as sagacious dog on mountain tried~Before, accustomed
21     9|      its way:~But, swoln with mountain rain and melted snows,~Then
22    10|       at each end, a solitary mountain.~ ~ CXIV~'Twas here the
23    11|    cave conveyed.~Formed in a mountain was that harbour rude;~Spacious,
24    12|  where~Enceladus the Aetnaean mountain placed~On his bolt-smitten
25    12|    rest than diamond dug from mountain hoar~More hard, unless report
26    12|     And to the foot of rising mountain came,~Whence (it was night-time)
27    12|    Entered the passage in the mountain's side.~ ~ XC~By a long
28    15|     By many a vale and many a mountain gray;~Where robbers, now
29    17|       foreign wood~Beyond the mountain, wolves of greedier will,~
30    17|       from the dawning day,~A mountain intercepts its early ray.~ ~
31    17|     And one betook him to the mountain steep.~King Norandine his
32    18|     Uptorn are ash and fir in mountain wood,~As groans Sir Rodomont,
33    19|        And words -- to move a mountain, and so won~Upon Zerbino'
34    20|      And to the foot of sunny mountain came;~And there approaching
35    21|     against Boreas stands the mountain pine,~That has a hundred
36    23|      Which on the summit of a mountain stood,~And to the lady like
37    23|       passes thither, where a mountain~O'erhangs in guise of arch
38    24|   count assail,~And drop from mountain and ascend from dale.~ ~
39    24|       Her to the cavern, in a mountain dight.~Nor Isabella yet
40    24|     errant knight descend the mountain's side.~ ~ XCV~Him Doralice,
41    26|       sun by an o'ershadowing mountain.~ ~ XXX~This spring was
42    26| lineage bred,~Two chiefs that mountain for their bearing show,~
43    26|       left King Rodomont,~The mountain track was short, but trod
44    26|  wrong,~Incites that maid the mountain to assay;~By which (as said)
45    26|    taken, when he reached the mountain, read;~And thinking, that
46    29|   bends~His steps across that mountain to the plain;~And, seeking
47    30|    obtain;~He, who by mead or mountain, far or near,~Had scowered
48    30|    with such weight withal,~A mountain lighter than that sword
49    31|     nigh, I ween,~By wood, by mountain, valley, and by plain,~Flying
50    32|  behind --~Bradamant sees the mountain, far and near,~Whence Dordogne'
51    33|    they with Clovis tread the mountain way,~More than a hundred
52    33|     by their bands beyond the mountain snow,~And that they set
53    33|      fare~Up hill or down, by mountain or by plain,~Nor, when the
54    33|     with his host against the mountain went,~Where Egypt's mighty
55    33|      they reach that loftiest mountain~Where springs, if anywhere,

57    34|  flight~Whereby to reach that mountain's top he schemes,~Which

59    37|     summit wound,~Scaling the mountain's steep and rugged side;~

63    41|     ceaseless murmur from the mountain.~ ~ LVIII~'Twas well nigh
