Canto

 1     2|   finished by the sage,~Before a spirit, by his bidding brought,~
 2     3|      Then, like one who a wicked spirit bore,~To add another sin
 3     3|    thoughts which wait~On worthy spirit in a holy place,~She prays
 4     3|       dead.~ ~ XI~"Yet lives the spirit of immortal strain;~Lodged
 5     3|        the workings of prophetic spirit?"~ ~ XIV~And full of joy
 6     3|         which mews~The bones and spirit, erst of Merlin's name.~
 7     3|       secret cave,~When the live spirit, in clear tones that thrill,~
 8     3|    beside.~And on her head, lest spirit should invade,~A pentacle
 9     6|          And, matchless both for spirit and for hand,~Beat back
10     6|    whatsoe'er thou art, be good,~Spirit of man, or goddess of the
11     6|         the wonderous prodigy~Of spirit, pent beneath the knotty
12     8|        strain,~Till I my wearied spirit shall restore:~For not the
13    10|         thy boat,~Which bears my spirit, would my body be."~And
14    14|          can contain his furious spirit more.~ ~  CIX~As swarming
15    15|      breast~Parforce the felon's spirit would expell.~So says the
16    15|          at one blow~Divorce the spirit of the enchanted foe:~ ~
17    16|        that mean and ill matched spirit out.~The courser, who had
18    18|      sorrow, muse,~With downcast spirit, and in mournful guise,~
19    20|           Which make each gentle spirit bound to you)~To beg my
20    21|       Delivered, let my spotless spirit go;~And quench these wretched
21    22|        these frauds in charge,~A spirit pent beneath the threshold
22    24|      first, that lovely hair;~My spirit, troubled and despairing,
23    26|        Rogero's worth, excelling spirit,~In his unbounded gentlesse;
24    26|        living and with nerve and spirit fraught.~ ~ XXXI~Here, to
25    29|     Seeks to appease his wounded spirit in vain.~He builds a bridge,
26    29|         gentle dames, does so my spirit grieve,~Till I his error
27    29|     avail,~To shake her stedfast spirit, which abode~Wholly with
28    29|       way was taken by the dame.~Spirit! which nobly didst esteem
29    29|         XXVII~Depart in peace, O spirit blest and fair!~-- So had
30    30|     chastening woe~Which does my spirit, does my heart oppress,~
31    30|        It was Desire that on her spirit preyed,~Diseased with Love'
32    31|  offering to its lovely tenant's spirit;~And thou in thy forced
33    32|      armed.~Meanwhile her better Spirit, at her side,~With these
34    34|        deemed that duke it was a spirit, whom~He seemed to strike
35    34|        steps represt,~And to the spirit cried: "So may Heaven send~
36    34|         Tormented, her afflicted spirit sties:~In that unmoved she,
37    34|    medley rare,~Which filled the spirit with a calm content.~In
38    35|          fine~And fair a raiment spirit did invest,~And rarely soul
39    35|       rest dismounted, makes his spirit quail.~But how he armed,
40    36|     having given you birth, that spirit dear~Forthwith ascended
41    36|    arrive.~ ~  LXVI~"Thus has my spirit for this many a day~Waited
42    36|      things whereof the wizard's spirit told.~ ~ LXVIII~Rogero from
43    37|  bridegroom (said that fair)~The spirit of the dead, whom she offends,~
44    37|         low.~If fierce Tanacro's spirit did prevent,~Of follow hers,
45    39|     Which upon flesh and more on spirit preys:~For of two deaths
46    42|         Libya's mighty lord.~His spirit, which flitted to the Stygian
47    43|          And pierce my suffering spirit through and through:~Through
48    43|          And forced some subject spirit to appear,~To me foretelling
49    43|        the blessed hierarchy~Thy spirit mixt, `Depart' -- I should
50    44|      outward mien~The heart, the spirit, that those sovereigns bear.~
51    45|        undo,~And of its clay the spirit dispossess.~For all things
52    46|          To Acheron descends his spirit proud.~ ~ ~ I~I, if my chart
53    46| wholesome discipline:~The secret spirit of the ancient page~There
54    46|       passage can their prisoned spirit have:~No less opprest the
55    46|       foul repair,~The indignant spirit fled, blaspheming loud;~
