Canto

 1     2|  courser, as the pilgrim crane~Finds not at first his balance
 2     2|      cruel durance states.~Nor finds she, though twice told,
 3     3|        the beauteous Bradamant~Finds sage Melissa in the vaulted
 4     3|       the magic rampart storm,~Finds the way barred as if by
 5     4|      the mountain's crest;~And finds the hippogryph, who bore
 6     6|      surprise,~Stands, when he finds it issues from the tree;~
 7     6|        ne'er comes at all,~Nor finds a place in any bosom. Dearth,~
 8     7|       nose descend,~Where Envy finds not blemish to amend.~ ~
 9     7|        away.~ ~ LIII~Alone she finds him, fitting well her will,~
10     9|       lady, high or low.~If he finds any one in waking case,~
11     9|       for this does speed,~And finds new wife or maid whereon
12    12|     fell~Amid the paynim host, finds Isabel.~ ~ ~ I~Ceres, when
13    12|       him of Spain,~Ferrau, he finds, with Sacripant and more;~
14    14|   slaughtered bullock lie,~And finds but horn and bones, where
15    14|       Quiet, without fail.~But finds he is deceived in his surmise,~
16    15|    lights and staggers till he finds it; now~Uptaken by the nose
17    16|        16~ ~  ARGUMENT~Gryphon finds traitorous Origilla nigh~
18    16|        IV~The youthful Gryphon finds him in this case,~Who sees
19    17|        He brings the herd, nor finds us in the stall,~And knows
20    18|        man a gracious audience finds,~No easy faith your equal
21    18|       while, in his extremity,~Finds that his breath comes thicker
22    18|     descends~Into her den, and finds herself alone,~And, circling
23    18|         yellow, blue, and red,~Finds itself, nor at concert or
24    18|      tumultuous throng, --~SHE finds herself beyond all credence
25    19|       LIII~For this the master finds a remedy,~Who bids them
26    20|       turns the leaf of story,~Finds record of them, neither
27    20|  master of her tortured heart;~Finds herself bound, and that '
28    21|       a cavalier~Who seeks and finds adventure, high and low,~
29    22|    from prison-cell.~Bradamant finds Rogero, who in fight~O'erthrows
30    22|       some few days, in Natoly~Finds himself, and towards Brusa
31    23|    sufferer seeks for ease,~He finds but so much more distress
32    24|       Nor far can go before he finds an end.~ ~ XLIII~To keep
33    24|     beside the road; and there finds all~In strange disorder,
34    25|     square, of evil company~He finds it full, and bright with
35    25|        She wakes, and, waking, finds the vision vain.~ ~ XLIV~"
36    27|     two's repose;~And, when he finds Orlando comes not there,~
37    27|        than memory strong, who finds that he~Has that forgotten
38    27|        next, upon the Saone~He finds himself, who has his course
39    28|     homeward; but that infidel~Finds by the way a place he holds
40    28|   turning some relief to gain,~Finds neither on this side nor
41    29|      many matters in her mind,~Finds out at last a refuge for
42    30| conveyance lack.~As many as he finds, so many steeds~-- Their
43    32|     Tosses and turns, nor ever finds repose;~And still, impatient
44    32|   descends into the plain:~She finds him not, and to Montalban'
45    32|      fort returns in vain;~Nor finds him here nor there; meanwhile
46    32|       fill.~Arrived, that lady finds the portal barred,~And that
47    32|         Entering the tower, he finds her harboured there~Whereof
48    33|        and sleep foregoes,~Nor finds a resting place; far less
49    33|     Where Egypt's mighty river finds a vent.~ ~ CX~Upon this
50    34|     into that lair,~So much he finds the smoke and vapour worse;~
51    35|     Rogero stands confused; he finds no end~To his perplexing
52    36|    withal; for on her feet~She finds Marphisa, with such fierce
53    38|     Bears in fury blows:~There finds a cave, through whose strait
54    38|     doleful tiding brings;~And finds her monarch half subdued
55    39|       gall and smite,~Agramant finds no shelter; from the sky~
56    40|  burning far away;~But landing finds the royal Sericane,~Who
57    40|        silence wends,~Until he finds himself in safer sea,~Far
58    41|       refuge in that need:~But finds her overcharged with such
59    43|   Which widens, and wherein Po finds a vent.~Their way the waters
60    43| discourse with me at ease,~She finds a way whereby my peace to
61    43|    disarray~The altar, when he finds himself in need,~What gold
62    45|      north, and shortened day,~Finds it a desert horrid to the
63    46|     good Rogero made,~Him Leon finds, and yields to him his prize:~
