Canto

 1     1|        horse,~Well valued while alive, dropt short and dead:~The
 2     3|        city not a groom~Is left alive, to bear the news to Rome.~ ~
 3     5|     stain should cleave to her, alive or dead:~Nor, bent to wreck
 4     9|        content,~-- Slain, burnt alive, to let them to the wind~
 5     9|        with armed train:~He him alive, and in no other guise,~
 6     9|  greater prey,~Wisely preserves alive the game first caught,~That
 7    13|          since, stayed~By them, alive I languish in this grave.~
 8    13|     weakly you the wizard leave alive."~ ~ LIV~The valorous maid
 9    13|         shall distinguished her alive or dead,~Is that by her
10    15|       God bestow,~That I remain alive, the giant dead,~Secure
11    17|       climbed the steep,~He are alive, or rather swallowed clean;~
12    17|         our tyrant fell:~Buried alive, or bound with griding band,~
13    18|       my brother slaughtered or alive?~How didst thou him of horse
14    18|     amid so many lies,~Who did, alive, thy holy studies prize."~ ~
15    19|       youth who loved his lord, alive or dead.~ ~ III~The closest
16    19|          This dead, that scarce alive, upon the plain.~There for
17    20| murderous brand,~Leaving no man alive, who may diffuse~Upon this
18    22|   behold such cruelty,~For they alive the wretched youth will
19    23|      hand laid dead,~Scarce one alive fled thither, to proclaim~
20    23|        in the fire thou keep'st alive?~ ~ CXXVIII~"I am not --
21    25|        survey,~Who would devour alive his helpless prey.~ ~ LXI~" `
22    27|    exile gone,~If he had scaped alive so fierce a flame.~Brandimart
23    29|       will not leave the wretch alive;~And stretching them as
24    30|       LXXIII~Though he did well alive, what could be done~With
25    36|     thee well,~While yet he was alive, thou best dost know.~I
26    36|         might be slain.~Are you alive, and lives King Agramant?~
27    40|  annoyance clear?~Thy being yet alive this hope denies;~Hence
28    44|    bride; and Leo take,~If left alive, by force or love the maid,~
29    45|       him torn~In quarters, yet alive; to rend and slay~Her prisoners
30    45|     every spark is in the night alive,~And suddenly extinguished
31    45|     will she rightly hate me or alive."~ ~ XCI~These words he
32    45|  Bradamant, while my brother is alive,~Let Leo, if the gentle
33    46|        without Bradamant remain alive.~And never while these veins
