Canto

 1     1|          gainful succour lent,~And slew most paynims in the martial
 2     1|           hearing Argalia, whom he slew,~(So was the warrior hight)
 3     5|            Geneura who his brother slew,~Who was to self-destruction
 4     7|            wounded, and that other slew,~And, point by point made
 5     9|           shot in our first battle slew,~Reaching his heart, through
 6     9|         cavalier,~Her who Arbantes slew, he, as his right,~Should
 7     9|         cut or thrust some soldier slew;~Now horse, now footman
 8    11|           fell orc so many damsels slew;~Olympia frees, and spoils
 9    14|          of the news, "the foe~Who slew our troop, would all thy
10    14|            in rest: a multitude he slew,~Before his lance was broke
11    14|           found,~The Hebrew Samson slew the Philistine,~Crushed
12    15|          dismembered often and not slew:~Now he, -- because dismembered, --
13    16|        rest.~And smote the foe who slew him with such might,~That
14    17|         him, Troyano, and Almontes slew,~With hundreds more, that
15    17|            in mid-face,~So that he slew him; mourned by every one,~
16    18|       enemies, the Earl of Huntley slew.~ ~ LII~Almontes' memory,
17    18|          the day he charmed Orrilo slew,~His horse, his arms the
18    18|            France, who one another slew, --~The men of England and
19    18|       others he neat that Diviner, slew,~Nor gave the wretches time
20    18|         Malindo, with Andalico, he slew,~His brother, sons to the
21    19|            ancient law, enslave or slew~All those whom Fortune to
22    19|       after other, all in fine she slew,~Or wounded every one she
23    20|            Chiareillo and Mambrino slew,~And sacked the realm whose
24    20|         Here Argilon of Meliboea I~Slew with ten warriors in his
25    21|         disastrous end,~And he who slew him never had such thought,~
26    23|             LXXX~"Him this Orlando slew by treachery,~I wot, nor
27    24|          and blow,~Horses and oxen slew, his helpless prey;~And
28    24|          forest, tore his clothes,~Slew hinds, and caused a thousand
29    25|          at once, and even five he slew;~So that a hundred in a
30    26|        hideous Beast those hunters slew.~ ~ XXXVII~In wonder stood
31    30|        same moment he that monarch slew:~He, albeit thick, divides
32    31|         the goodly courser whom ye slew,~Because, whenas he lived,
33    31|         Rinaldo, whom his brethren slew,~Whom Oliviero's sons, the
34    33|          thousand of that chivalry~Slew, and to endless night condemned
35    34|            of all, their sovereign slew;~And made that day as well
36    36|        seeing but the murder done,~Slew thee not, as the faulchion
37    36|         thee not, as the faulchion slew thy son.~ ~ VIII~Cruel Sclavonian!
38    36| treacherous wise, the first Rogero slew~And brought to cruel pass
39    36|           might be abhorred,~If he slew one, accepted as his lord.~ ~
40    37|          from the rest,~Six men he slew; transfixed the paunch of
41    38|           king and all his court I slew;~Chased his ill race, and
42    38|            him in fight,~Albeit he slew in strife the Tartar knight.~ ~
43    39|     Marphisa's score; yet none she slew.~ ~ XIII~They witness to
44    39|            quailing bands Astolpho slew,~Charging at his more martial
45    39|           prisoners made, and many slew;~For ransom in that battle
46    40|            cast aside --~Branzardo slew himself with his own brand;~
47    41|         relate how him the traitor slew,~And where his body lies
48    45|            took not in one day nor slew~Her claimant, she was taken;
49    45|         had tortured me before~She slew, as prompted by her cruelty,~
