Canto

 1     3|  these would gladly spend his breath,~And for his brother brave
 2     4|    tower.~Then gave her bugle breath, the keep below,~To call
 3     5|     and court, with faltering breath,~Confessed the fraud which
 4     7|   from either's lip~The balmy breath collecting, he embraced:~
 5     9|       He from the fall seemed breath and force to gain.~As African
 6    10|    her sail anew:~For then no breath upon the waters blew.~ ~
 7    11|  power to scatter at a single breath:~ ~  L~And speedily he made
 8    13|        and labouring sore for breath,~That he appeared well nigh
 9    16|       lover has not force and breath~To save her from Sir Gryphon,
10    16|      shade is seen to shrowd;~Breath, smoke of sweat and dust
11    16|  shows what are his force and breath;~Who charges, smites, o'
12    16|   with dread,~Scarce drew his breath, and cried: "Oh, well away!~
13    17|      dawning ray;~Who, giving breath to the sonorous reeds,~Piped
14    18|     extremity,~Finds that his breath comes thicker than before;~
15    19|      second function have not breath,~To slavery you we doom,
16    19|       and no eyelid fell,~Nor breath was drawn, amid the observant
17    20|   courser borne,~Lends louder breath to his enchanted horn.~ ~
18    20| Isabel has not yielded up her breath,~But lives a life she would
19    21|        XIII~"And if enough of breath, although I fear~The contrary,
20    23|  pierced the throat; and in a breath~Above a hundred broke and
21    23|   eyes could stream away,~And breath was for so many sobs supplied;~
22    23|        At length, for lack of breath, compelled to stop,~(When
23    24| mournful lips,~The last faint breath of life devoutly sips.~ ~
24    24|     CI~Without once gathering breath, without repose,~The champions
25    26|      I either here my parting breath will yield,~Or on my courser
26    28|   open mouth, and lungs which breath refused;~And, wearied with
27    29|  stroke laid low.~In the same breath Orlando turned anew,~And
28    32|    field to go,~Where aye thy breath with glory may be spent?~
29    33|   pray three stop my fleeting breath!"~ ~ LXV~The clouds were
30    34|      A breeze, which with one breath appears to shake,~Aye, without
31    36|    unpent,~Which with a tepid breath from seaward blow,~The snows
32    36|     strive, in yielding up my breath,~She too shall die, the
33    37| better how can she expend her breath~Than in avenging dear Olindro'
34    37|     cause one spent his vital breath~With her own hand, that
35    38|     unhappy pair, who gave me breath."~ ~ XVIII~She adds, the
36    39| conveys,~That, drawing-in his breath, the county drained~The
37    41|       his mighty strength and breath;~For pity loth to put that
38    41|      or none: with faultering breath~They gaze upon inevitable
39    41|      blows~With his unwearied breath the foam before.~Waxing
40    42|       Beatrice, while she has breath,~Blesses, and leaves unhappy
41    43|      winked their eyes, their breath they scarcely drew.~ ~ CIX~"
