 2     3|       will) the wizard spread.~Living he laid him there, and lies
 3     5|  ensigns strange, not known of living wight,~Since ever close
 4     6|       Aether's king:~Nor other living creature soars such height,~
 5     6|    rind,~To your fair leaf and living body I~Have done this scathe
 6     7|   panther tear,~And tusks from living boar in tangled brake,~That,
 7     8|   Resemblance, coloured in the living rock.~ ~ XXXIX~She, fixed
 8     9|       refusal from the peer.~I living glady in this happy sort,~
 9     9|     where~It never more should living wight molest;~And, what
10    10|       wise;~Where (to devour a living damsel sped)~The orc, that
11    11|      Nor in the land is left a living head.~ ~ LIV~As if the mighty
12    12| ensanguined blade to sway~Till living wight remained not in his
13    12|        rocky tomb,~Buried were living folk. Of wide extent,~The
14    16|      ever said,~(Did speech or living page my thoughts impart)~"
15    17|       I were better dead,~Than living without light of thee, my
16    18|        embrace,~Though, of all living dames and those of yore,~
17    18|      well be said)~To lose two living men, to save one dead:~ ~
18    19|         and held as cheap each living swain,~Although, amid the
19    20|    some there dispersed, their living gain.~Arms are the trade
20    22|       Than whom more worthless living wight is none,~The Count
21    22|       made them sever from the living stock,~In neighboring wood,
22    26|        might have thought~Were living and with nerve and spirit
23    26|        author has consigned to living story.~ ~ XXXIX~"The chiefs
24    30|   manifest appear~The live man living and the dead man slain,~
25    32|       be slain,~Who dooms thee living to such passing pain.~ ~
26    32|      not, in fierce alarms,~Of living men the bravest knight at
27    33|    write.~ ~ II~And those, yet living or of earlier day,~Mantegna,
28    33|    months, by sea or land,~One living head, his slaughtered troops
29    34|      till, which rose~Out of a living rock, within that wood,~
30    34|        Which seemed as if with living flames it brent.~Such passing
31    35|        rarely hid himself form living wight.~"Ye will I not refuse," (
32    37|      he begrudge thee, were he living now,~That wife, so virtuous
33    38|    will --~There is not mortal living, who will dare~To say Sobrino'
34    41|     vain;~In Jesus Christ, the living God I see,~And to conduct
35    42|     spoke him as the strongest living knight~That stroke, by which
36    43|      woe,~Knows that no longer living is her lord.~With that her
37    43|     glory hallowed,~To die all living warriors should be fain.~
38    43|     aside,~And own in Christ a living God and true.~He, full of
39    44|        scared as never yet was living wight;~So that he trembled
40    45|  appears far lesser woe,~Than, living, her Rogero to forego.~ ~
41    46|     brood!~Lo! she to whom all living dames forego~The palm, and
42    46|    provide~In whom the best of living knights we see;~Who, save
43    46|       throughout the world yet living are,~And simply for a courteous
44    46|        prized that gift, while living, Priam's son,~For its rare
