Canto

 1     2|        vessel drives with humble sail~Before the billows, as the
 2     6| monstrous backs above the water, sail~Ork, physeter, sea-serpent,
 3     8|    Making their way, with aid of sail and oar.~ ~ XXVII~The Emperor
 4     8|      done, they hoisted up their sail once more,~And the bark
 5     9|  mariners are fain to strike all sail,~And wear and scud before
 6     9|        dip the oar, we loose the sail, and driven~By both, escape,
 7     9|      coming with a fleet of many sail,~A cousin of the lord here
 8    10|          Veered not his shifting sail another way;~Or ingrate
 9    10|       her cruel lord's departing sail.~ ~ XXIV~Saw it, or seemed
10    10|        The faithless stripling's sail across the deep,~Bears off
11    10|         a breeze should fill her sail anew:~For then no breath
12    10|         sees the shifting shadow sail~Of those huge pinions on
13    13|          It steads not to strike sail, nor lash the mast,~Lowered
14    17|         time been adverse to her sail.~ ~ LXVII~"The king, for
15    18|     sheet untied,~Which held its sail, -- by growing wind opprest;~
16    18|       with sky serene, and every sail~Of the yare vessel stretched
17    18|    sweets distill,~That they who sail the sea the fragrance bland,~
18    18|          foaming sea with humble sail.~ ~ CXLVI~While Fortune
19    19|      than with assistance of the sail;~Since to lay starboard
20    20|          soon as dawn ensues,~To sail with her companions on a
21    20|          their oars and make all sail.~ ~ XCVI~The duke within
22    22|      made his comrades rear~Then sail, and fly with noted scorn
23    23|       shore behind,~Hoists every sail, and shoots before the wind.~ ~
24    24|           When first I reared my sail upon the main?"~Zerbino,
25    27|          moody Sarzan strike his sail.~ ~ CX~Branded with double
26    28|       but to us shall strike her sail,~If even to the ugly these
27    30|     summer sea, had spread their sail.~ ~ XI~"Hoah! the boat!
28    38|     Erewhile a nimble bark, with sail and oar,~They had dispatched,
29    39|   contrary,~On the third day, to sail he give command,~In trust
30    40|       one in needful haste, used sail and oar,~Till he found Roland
31    40|          their sight,~Under full sail approaching, they descried~
32    41|          VIII~He looses bark and sail; and in bold wise~Trusting
33    41|           Scourges with tattered sail the reeling mast:~Almost
34    42|        seaward, where~Under full sail a nimble bark appeared,~
35    42|         to tempestuous grief the sail,~Heaven that consented to
36    43|      That do what can be done by sail and oar.~But with ill wind
37    46|          Tancred joys to view~My sail; and with them joy a hundred
