 1     1|  faulchion, and against Rinaldo pressed,~Who saw with little fear
 2     1|         fond and eager passion, pressed~Towards his Lady, his Divinity;~
 3     1|      with his knees the courser pressed.~While on the palfrey, eased
 4     2|        Charlemagne; and thither pressed,~Where he an ambush for
 5     2|         he towards the entrance pressed,~To learn who that unhappy
 6     3|        King Desiderius shall be pressed,~The valiant leader of the
 7     3|      replies and lies, as he is pressed.~The dame, who is forewarned,
 8     4|    between, a knight the saddle pressed,~Clad in steel arms, which
 9     4|        was the steed the wizard pressed;~For him a filly to griffin
10     5|        assistance he had vainly pressed.~Then, `Wretched brother,
11     6|         he so upon all quarters pressed,~That it would need the
12     7|  encounter fierce the champaign pressed;~For underneath the casque,
13     7|         fall, as, to the margin pressed~By pleasant breeze, the
14     8|   levies knights and squadrons, pressed~In aid of Charles assaulted
15     8|      Charles, by siege in Paris pressed,~A broad commission to Rinaldo
16     8|     behoves me, from the path I pressed,~To turn awhile, ere I this
17     8|      such a mode upon his fancy pressed,~He, thundering, leaped
18     9|        as this or that occasion pressed,~Was aimed at from afar,
19     9|   touched; the other thundering pressed the plain:~For the first
20    10|         Child by every wish was pressed~Quickly to seek his Bradamant,
21    10|        the rock-chained maid he pressed,~And on her little finger,
22    11|         and, lo! the beast! who pressed,~And nigh concealed the
23    11|    casque, with festive welcome pressed~Towards the count, and clasped
24    12|        spell when it the finger pressed,)~Was in the mountain-cavern
25    12|        ill-content she eastward pressed;~Ofttimes concealed, sometimes
26    13|      pathway seen, by footsteps pressed;~Only a hill, whose woody
27    13|       Rogero showed,~So closely pressed, and labouring sore for
28    17| afterwards the dame for tidings pressed~Of those the orc had taken
29    18|        oft with naked brand~Had pressed Orlando sore in martial
30    20|         to find Isabella was so pressed,~Her in the midst of fire
31    27|         now the foe~The paynims pressed no more, the vantage theirs)~
32    33|         through Alpine pass has pressed.~Who Liris fords, and takes
33    33|          as a traveller that is pressed.~But they so often and so
34    33|        to the fount; but little pressed~Now was that knight to keep
35    34|         had deserved such gain,~Pressed close the Lydian king, upon

40    41|         that furious stroke, he pressed the shore,~And it was long
41    44|         that livelong night had pressed;~Nor had he drawn his bit,
