Canto

 1     1|      fruit?~Bare words and looks scarce cheered my hopeless state,~
 2     2|         upward flight,~The eagle scarce attempts so bold a height.~ ~
 3     2|      Shifting so quickly that he scarce is seen.~Now this, now that,
 4     3|      distress;~But, if a mother, scarce to him more mild~Than Progue
 5     3|        Mid crowded fields, which scarce a grace supply,~Where Greek,
 6     4|      wondering eye,~What she had scarce believed from other's lips,~
 7     6|    mighty swiftness equalling.~I scarce believe that bolt, or lightning
 8     8|          heat,~Unquenchable, and scarce allows retreat.~ ~ XXXV~
 9     8|       brooked injurious say:~And scarce, in his impatience to depart,~
10     9|        To hear the whole Orlando scarce could bear,~Ere to be first
11     9|       and rider: this the knight~Scarce touched; the other thundering
12     9|         magazine profound,~Which scarce has reached -- but touched
13    10|     numberless,~That ample ocean scarce the navy bore,~From all
14    12|    ensanguined by his brand,~And scarce capacious of the many slain.~
15    12|      LXXXI~His ceaseless strokes scarce one the other wait:~Speedily
16    13|        her heart so yearned,~She scarce had strength to stand upon
17    15|       gold and scarlet dight.~He scarce contained himself for joy,
18    15|     could master one so strong?"~Scarce can Astolpho put the press
19    16|        time ever nigh~Marsilius, scarce had quitted him that day,~
20    16| approached, who pale with dread,~Scarce drew his breath, and cried: "
21    17|          roves,~And secret wood, scarce pervious to the tread,~Seeking
22    17|        CXXVIII~The early sun had scarce his golden hair~Uplifted
23    19|      other Moor,~This dead, that scarce alive, upon the plain.~There
24    19|           Few are the males; and scarce the warriors ken,~Amid a
25    20|          was he seized, of peril scarce aware,~As unsuspecting such
26    23|          shewed.~ ~ XIII~But she scarce marvelled when above the
27    23|      XXXIX~Duke Aymon's daughter scarce had turned away~From thence,
28    23| thousands by thy hand laid dead,~Scarce one alive fled thither,
29    23|      hold his saddle broken are.~Scarce conscious of his fall, Orlando
30    23|         stopt when to mid-height scarce rose my pain.~The vital
31    24|          the quick offends,~This scarce beyond the skin is scarified.~
32    24|     cruel foe;~Like winds, which scarce at first appear to breathe,~
33    25|         me, all in all.~ ~ LXIV~"Scarce my demand was made, before
34    27|        himself, the cavalier~Had scarce his heart within him, which
35    28|       beauty could compare:~Such scarce Apelles' pencil had pourtrayed,~
36    28|          Was a fresh flower that scarce began to blow:~Her sire
37    29|    fickle purpose veer;~For her, scarce seen, and to that warrior
38    29|      tower and tomb, the bridge, scarce finished, stood:~Here --
39    30|       more, amid which crew~They scarce would find one champion
40    31|      lords~Parry the stroke, who scarce discern their swords.~ ~
41    31|        leaguered gates are nigh,~Scarce ten miles distant, on the
42    31|        heard~From other lips, he scarce had these believed:~But
43    31|      kingdoms such as France had scarce supplied.~ ~ LXXXVII~And
44    32|       Those knights, together or scarce sundered, came,~She took
45    33|        through dread;~And Venice scarce her freedom can maintain.~
46    33|       his cheek youth's blossoms scarce appear,~Worthy immortal
47    35|          bridge extends.~ ~ XLIX~Scarce for her horse the martial
48    36|      nearly maddened by disdain.~Scarce was she thrown, before her
49    36|        upon the ground.~ ~ XXIII~Scarce down, Marphisa started from
50    36|          strike the savage fair.~Scarce his left arm can good Rogero
51    36|        can good Rogero rear;~Can scarce the shield and blazoned
52    37|         so extinguished been,~We scarce of one amid a thousand hear;~
53    37|        and the damsels twain~Can scarce defend the felon in that
54    38|         dear,~Displeases ye, and scarce inflicts less pain~Than
55    38|        of his royal person made.~Scarce on the open plain embattled
56    39|        fitting or of feeble age:~Scarce from impressing women they
57    39|     proved they; for the foe was scarce in view,~Before that levy
58    41|          That, gunwale-deep, she scarce remains afloat.~ ~ XIX~Rogero,
59    41|         the foaming sea.~ ~ XXXV~Scarce, with much labour, the two
60    43|         well~As her own sire, or scarce behind him fell.~ ~ XIX~"
61    43|        heard the peasant say,~He scarce his speech with patience
62    44|         monk the warriors spent;~Scarce mindful that the crew their
63    44|       the following crowd,~Which scarce found room, begirt with
64    46|       and staggering to and fro,~Scarce kept himself from falling
