Canto

 1     1|        if she let the occasion sleep,~Find escort that will stand
 2     2|    believe the battle does not sleep~Between those champions,
 3     6|      bidding, roused from lazy sleep;~Raven-fish, salmon, salpouth,
 4     8|        Rogero leaves a prey to sleep.~ ~ XII~In the mean time,
 5     8|     drop, of might~To make her sleep: upon the sandy shore~Already
 6     8|      LXIV~Oppressed with heavy sleep upon the shore,~The lovely
 7     8|    thee in peace that fleeting sleep enjoy.~ ~ LXXX~To good Orlando
 8     9|    propped upon his hand:~They sleep, and many might the count
 9    10| descant sung;~When she, 'twixt sleep and waking, made a strain~
10    10|     better sped.~Fear banished sleep; she oped her eyes: in view~
11    12|        say, as forms avaunt~At sleep's departure: toiling long
12    14|      Their anthems, where they sleep, and where they sit~At meat;
13    14|   point him out to thee;~If to Sleep's house thou wilt at midnight
14    14|      way,~That at the house of Sleep (the mansion blind~Full
15    14|    within this grot lies heavy Sleep,~Ease, corpulent and gross,
16    15|    high,~Numbers are forced to sleep in the open street;~And
17    15|     not a thing to brook -- to sleep alone.~ ~ CIII~Sir Gryphon,
18    17|       not Italy lie plunged in sleep,~If thy strong hand is planted
19    17|  foredone~With toil, or was it sleep his eyes down weighed,~Ere
20    17|  rested there,~Than, with deep sleep opprest, he closed his eye:~
21    18|       to the eyes, immersed in sleep and wine.~ ~  CLXXIII~A
22    18|      Hoped to enjoy a peaceful sleep and still.~The daring Saracen
23    18|        mercy are;~So, in their sleep, the cruel paynim bled~Our
24    18|       ne'er in time of need by sleep down-weighed,~From chasing
25    21|      And he, as wakened out of sleep profound,~In silence, hard
26    22|       and placed her, yet with sleep opprest,~Before him, and,
27    23|      But, whether waking or to sleep resigned,~Has aye Rogero
28    23|     this attends,~In his first sleep is seized by Anselm's throng,~
29    25|  thirst distrest,~If he should sleep, -- ere he that wish fulfil, --~
30    25|        fancy still possest,~In sleep, with images which glad
31    25|      gaoler's ward.~This while Sleep seized on lord and family,~
32    31|    watch or fourth, when heavy sleep~Their senses shall in Lethe'
33    31|   Moorish guard they find with sleep opprest:~They slaughter
34    31|  pavilion lies,~From his first sleep awakened by a knight:~He
35    32|  partake!~For she that time in sleep would waste and wear;~Nor
36    33|        on woe?~ ~ LXIII~"Sweet sleep with promised peace my soul
37    33|       warfare wake anew;~Sweet sleep but brought with it fallacious
38    33|       LXIV~"Blest animals that sleep through half the year,~Nor
39    33|       day!~For if such tedious sleep like death appear,~Such
40    33|     death in watching, life in sleep assay.~But oh! if death
41    33|   assay.~But oh! if death such sleep resemble, Death,~Even now
42    33|        the sad damsel meat and sleep foregoes,~Nor finds a resting
43    39|         that seems in troubled sleep to see~Abominable shapes,
44    40|    nets; meanwhile, untroubled sleep~The scaly fishes in their
45    42|     mar or break the warrior's sleep~To think that he again must
46    42|       them, nor, I think, doth sleep:~She listens with as many
47    43|   guide --~In comfort might he sleep throughout the night.~And
