Canto

 1     1|    XXXV~One day and night, and half the following day,~The damsel
 2     1|       on the palfrey, eased of half his weight,~The lady left
 3     3|      common grace)~To hold the half of Italy in dower,~With
 4     3|       his neighbour,~With foot half burnt, and halting gait
 5     5|     the fearful tale, remained half dead.~ ~ LX~"O God! what
 6     5|      Since through the warrior half his weapon went.~ ~ LXXXIX~
 7     7|    nothing fair,~And more than half corrupted all the rest.~
 8     8| Agrican did glow,~Brought with half Scythia's people from the
 9    10|      unmeasured-beast appears,~Half surging and half hidden,
10    10|      appears,~Half surging and half hidden, in such sort~As
11    10|     interval between is short.~Half dead the lady is through
12    10|        beneath his paunch full half the sea,~Now to the shore
13    11|       knight by others can; at half a score~Of blows in all
14    13|      smote by chance the knave half blind,~Where with the nose
15    14|          XXXVIII~That day, and half the next, in search he strayed~
16    14|     Seeing the sun now low and half concealed,~The warrior '
17    14|       so fully tell.~The first half Flemings were, the residue~
18    16| Saracen robust;~And here, with half a leg dissevered, flew~A
19    16|     quitted him that day,~When half destroyed he marked his
20    16|           LXXVIII~He more than half his camp behind him led,~
21    19|      confine:~And leaves him a half figure, in such way~As what
22    20|     Merchants and sailors that half naked were.~Some watch,
23    22|        Is blinded, or on earth half lifeless lies.~Wherefore,
24    22|      And many times had buried half her blade~Within bleeding
25    23|         LXXXII~Already distant half the range of bow~Is from
26    24|        And reft his shield and half his helmet's plate.~ ~ LXXI~
27    26|    parts those strokes divide,~Half dropt on this, and half
28    26|        Half dropt on this, and half on the other side.~ ~ XXII~
29    26|    fierce in show,~Came not by half this loathsome monster nigh,~
30    27|      the last.~ ~ XVI~Later by half an hour, against their foes,~
31    28|        Though me the king with half his kingdom bribed.'~ ~
32    31|    XXII~One hour and more than half another, stood~The knights
33    31|    sword and helmet first.~Him half exhausted from the stream
34    32|    Aymon's beauteous daughter)~Half buried lies in mire and
35    33|     animals that sleep through half the year,~Nor ope your heavy
36    34|   consort, yea his slave,~With half our realm, if certain by
37    35|     surveyed,~Perceived he was half vanquished by its eyes.~
38    36|    there, of either foe~-- Not half a league of one another
39    36| champaigne in such guise,~Nigh half her helm was buried in the
40    36|        from the bust,~Where it half buried lies, with murderous
41    37|       his horse's neck he fell half dead.~ ~ CI~The maid of
42    38|  brings;~And finds her monarch half subdued in Arles,~For camped
43    41|      XCIV~Gradasso has Orlando half disarmed;~Atop and on both
44    42|   loosened form his head,~With half a shield and swordless,
45    42|       the unhappy sparrowhawk, half dead,~With ruffled plumage
46    42|        must have measured than half her way~Homeward, with young
47    42|      by pilgrimage so wide~Her half a league he would not have
48    43|     and beggarly her vest;~Nor half her hideousness have I exprest.~ ~
49    46|    they had measured more~Than half a league, they reached an
50    46|   measure~If spent for her was half his kingdom's treasure.~ ~
