Canto

 1     3|       else is Fortune's in this mortal state;~But Virtue soars
 2     3|         Phoebus, many times, to mortal view,~Would quench and light
 3     3|   gallop in mid sky,~He bears a mortal shield of power to seal,~
 4     4|        less clear than clouded, mortal life,~Beset with snares,
 5     6|      Thou shalt, with more than mortal pleasures fed,~Have from
 6     6|         need a surer sense than mortal sight,~To judge between
 7     7|       the ring, whose more than mortal aid,~When in her mouth,
 8     7|         A longer life than ever mortal wight,~Than Hecuba or she
 9     8|      pastime short,~If she with mortal man is pleased to sport.~ ~
10    10|       blest~You here may in the mortal body share."~So speaking,
11    10|      gorgeous Queen of Nile,~In mortal slumber would have closed
12    10|         Was never yet before of mortal sight,~Or after, viewed;
13    16|       plain~The warfare is less mortal than along~The stream, nor
14    17|         Which ever entered into mortal head.~ ~ CX~Martano schemed
15    19|         greater could not be in mortal wight.~ ~ XCVIII~The women
16    21|     worst that could be done by mortal foe.~ ~ L~"When now, unknown,
17    26|       left his heaven to mix in mortal wars.~ ~ XXI~She marvels
18    28|    erlaid,~And was to poverty a mortal foe.~Hence 'tis an easy
19    29| shouldst harbour any dread~That mortal poison form these herbs
20    30|       st love~Any, and most thy mortal enemy?~And harm'st where
21    30|     should be~The martyr of the mortal cruelty?"~ ~ LXXXIV~To her
22    32|        me?~Most wretched is the mortal that would shun~To look
23    32|   should his faulchion deal the mortal blow,~What death could ever
24    32|          should Mars contend in mortal course.~ ~ LXXVI~The king
25    33|       heaven descend;~No less a mortal and a sinner I,~To such
26    34|       old rival of my sire,~And mortal for, he sought with this
27    34|        Sainted Elias, rapt from mortal eye.~ ~ LXIX~Four goodly
28    36|    proceeds~A voice, that every mortal voice exceeds.~ ~ LIX~The
29    37|        other studies wake --~As mortal attributes immortal make;~ ~
30    38|         he will --~There is not mortal living, who will dare~To
31    38|  ancient sins he should unite~A mortal combat with Montalban's
32    41|     best;~For them too hard the mortal peril prest.~ ~ XVIII~Perceiving
33    41|         he land, and scape that mortal scaith,~To be a Christian,
34    42|       through foul deceit,~With mortal damage or dishonour meet.~ ~
35    43|        seems a heavenly, and no mortal thing;~And in the liberal
36    45|         much higher we see poor mortal go~On Fortune's wheel, which
37    46|         fair prize some happier mortal drew,~I think not I my vital
