Canto

 1     1|       sore vexed and grieved in sprite;~And still intent to seek
 2     2|       parts, by means of hollow sprite,~The two redoubted rivals'
 3     2|    learned that it was built by sprite~Whom potent fumes had raised
 4     3|       of each who, figured in a sprite,~Is present to our eyes
 5     4|    pleased to free my miserable sprite~From its now rotted bark,
 6     5|        but rather some infernal sprite.~ ~ IV~Such, and no other
 7     5|       hope to turn her stedfast sprite,~Too deeply with another
 8     7|         the body if exhaled the sprite:~In its close cover of red
 9     9|       concluded) with afflicted sprite,~Cried to my father, I would
10     9|      ease by sighs his troubled sprite,~Now willingly takes counsel
11    13|   Unsated, save it register his sprite~Among those damned souls,
12    14|   pourtrayed the sad and craven sprite:~-- Yet, through the fear
13    14|      which had nigh pierced her sprite;~And with more patience
14    15|        more to vex his troubled sprite.~Let each reflect, who to
15    17|     preys on man. -- A generous sprite~The thought of death --
16    18|      Zerbino, he, whose valiant sprite~Was ne'er in time of need
17    21|     Faith enwraps an honourable sprite~In its secure, inextricable,
18    21|    Pursuing ever with unwearied sprite,~Having the keys, repaired
19    23|        Rogero, when too bold of sprite~He backed the hippogryph
20    23|        from the flesh, I am his sprite,~Which in this hell, tormented,
21    23| obscured remained the warrior's sprite;~Nor, for forgetfulness,
22    24|      poor remnants of his vital sprite~Went on collecting, as these
23    26|       leap, possest by that ill sprite,~Thirty feet long and sixteen
24    27|      host their foes:~That evil sprite he might as well have made,~
25    28|   jocund, as in name, became in sprite,~And changed his tears for
26    28|         grief sate heavy on his sprite~Aboard the bark, as when
27    29|      time that rage possest his sprite,~He had gone naked forth
28    31|       which racks the suffering sprite,~That phrensied rage, which
29    32|         Bradamant, enjoy, whose sprite,~As wont, is still afflicted
30    33|     more malcontent and vext in sprite.~ ~ XCI~Rinaldo ceased in
31    34|     will I satisfy." To him the sprite:~So sweet it seems to me,
32    35|         Eliza, she so chaste of sprite,~On the other hand, has
33    36|       some strange accident, in sprite,~Sore vexed, this while
34    36|       he should hence convey my sprite,~Till here, prepared in
35    36|        that speech, rejoiced in sprite!~Rogero she exhorts in earnest
36    39|     form of courser, a familiar sprite,~And with a troubled visage
37    40|         sifting in his doubtful sprite,~If it be better to depart
38    42|         guess if 'twere a magic sprite,~A fiend by Malagigi thither
39    43|      say; how prostrate lay his sprite.~So was the wretched judge
40    45|       he prompted by his daring sprite)~Thinks, mid a thousand
41    46|      that so wrapt his troubled sprite,~Nor Leo nor Melissa heard
