Canto

 1     1|        grove prefers to thicket blind.~But reckless, pale and
 2     1|     each shadow, seen in valley blind,~Or mountain, feared Rinaldo
 3     2|   footsteps through the thicket blind.~ ~ LXIX~He, when he saw
 4     2|       those precipices dark and blind:~Its sides descended thirty
 5     4|     vain enchantments could not blind~The maid, whose virtuous
 6     4|     bares the shield, secure to blind his foe,~And by the magic
 7     6|      Dudon and Rinaldo's signal blind,~I go, who warn me to misdoubt
 8     7|     like old Atlantes, rendered blind~By the great love she to
 9    10|         vessels drop amazed and blind,~Tumbling from prow before,
10    11|          IX~So saying, like one blind, with bootless care,~Feeling
11    13|        by chance the knave half blind,~Where with the nose the
12    13|        is the stroke content to blind the foe;~Unsated, save it
13    14|     house of Sleep (the mansion blind~Full well he knew) this
14    14|     know not what made deaf and blind.~ ~ XCVIII~While with such
15    15|         many a field and forest blind,~By many a vale and many
16    15|      intending from that covert blind~To double on his unsuspecting
17    18|      view them prest, with fury blind,~And to the square before
18    19|       so far beside myself, and blind,~That I, Medoro, should
19    21|  obtained no fruit.~Nursing her blind desires, which knew not
20    22|       form which in the thicket blind~The false enchanter wore,
21    22|      while the twilight yet was blind,~He thought he saw, as he
22    22|       not, by Atlantes rendered blind.~Atlantes had effected by
23    22|     struck the valiant brothers blind,~And Guido in their rear,
24    24|   should justly suffer, who was blind;~Blind when I gave him such
25    24|   justly suffer, who was blind;~Blind when I gave him such a trust,
26    25|         woman's beauty still is blind;~Nor ewe delights in ewe,
27    27|       light;~And thou remainest blind and wrapt in night.~ ~ VIII~'
28    29|        paynim monarch's passion blind~Increasing still, nor what
29    30|     defends,~And, hurried on by blind and furious mood,~We with
30    33|        his eyes; and his array,~Blind as the moldwarp, hence their
31    34|         hungry harpies, that on blind~And erring Italy so full
32    35|    these ignorant men should be~Blind and deprived of judgment,
33    38|        and now restored~Was the blind sovereign's eyesight as
34    41|        s deceitful thoughts and blind!~The ship escaped from wreck,
35    43|         contemplating that city blind,~"How can it ever be," Rinaldo
36    43|       from shame.~Stung by such blind and furious thoughts, returned~
37    43| Restores to life; and makes the blind to see;~Hushes the winds;
38    44|     true that royal name should blind,~Imperial title, pomp and
39    45|         suspicion so unjust and blind;~And so, this thought absolves
40    45|      dust the cheerful daylight blind,~Raised in a thought from
