Canto

 1     1|    King Agramant, for penance, smite~His cheek, and rash Marsilius
 2     1|     leaps aside,~For should he smite, he would not lash in vain.~
 3     2|       courser ply;~And when to smite the shifting foe he turned,~
 4     4|      tuck or mace he seemed to smite the foe:~But sate aloof
 5     9|        base~Esteems it were to smite a sleeping foe.~Now this
 6     9|        thunder,~Burn what they smite, beat-down or rend asunder.~ ~
 7     9|        felon, not his band, to smite)~Upon the vulgar herd to
 8    10|       fell orc Rogero does not smite~With lance or faulchion
 9    13|       severely on the left did smite;~For that ill feature perished
10    18| himself; which all the warrior smite,~But harm (so hard the dragon'
11    18|         Inflaming every one to smite and slay,~In guise, that
12    18|     sword,~But he disdained to smite the ignoble horde.~ ~ CLXXIX~
13    19|       the foes strike home, or smite in vain,~Blows ring, and
14    20|       opposites to death would smite."~ ~ IX~Sir Guido is besought
15    20|   multitude, for aye intent~To smite, and clad in arms, when
16    22|   sword, so good to thrust and smite;~And none descried his fury
17    24|        who, if once that sword~Smite him, will join the enamoured
18    24|        she weeps for rage, and smite her front:~She would move
19    26|       the wing, as if about to smite,~He fain by proof their
20    26|   helmet and the shell of iron smite,~In which that Saracen his
21    28|      every wall his head would smite --~Would cry aloud -- would
22    29|      arm,~And prove if one can smite, the other harm."~ ~ XXV~
23    30|         And an eternal blot to smite a steed.~ ~ LI~They level
24    30|    with his head he threats to smite the ground,~While his unguided
25    33| returning, prompt to wheel and smite,~Circles and beats the courser,
26    34|   proof, a stroke or two would smite~With his good faulchion
27    34|      my bidding ever prompt to smite,~Without regarding who or
28    34|       weapon him should vainly smite,~Because he was selected
29    36|    when they meet,~She that to smite and pierce the Child intended,~
30    36|       glare.~As hard as he can smite, he smites; and woe~To thee,
31    38|        Rather to parry then to smite intent,~He know not what
32    39|      ever smote, aye strove to smite~Where he should injure least
33    39|        so pestilently gall and smite,~Agramant finds no shelter;
34    41|       wearied he no more could smite.~When finally he knew, and
35    41|      which with a louder larum smite~The troubled sailors' universal
36    41|      God has arms to reach and smite,~When farthest off thou
37    41|    trunk the monarch's head to smite.~Sobrino, who the strength
38    43|       spear, I deem, so sorely smite.~To be more certified he
39    43|         wherewith her heart to smite;~Now she aboard the pinnace
40    43|        hands together doth she smite,~And gnaw; with nails her
41    45|   herself, and would her bosom smite;~And say: "I see 'twas ill
42    45|    smote her not, or -- die he smite --~Smote, where he deemed
