 1     2|          CANTO 2~ ~ ARGUMENT~A hermit parts, by means of hollow
 2     2| frantic race,~Before she met a hermit in a valley.~Devotion in
 3     2|      loathed Rinaldo hear.~The hermit, who was skilled in sorcery,~
 4     6|     did tread,~And halted at a hermit's humble cell:~And housed
 5     8|       near,~But she was by the hermit kept in play,~Because he
 6     8|     the dark cave recurred the hermit hoar,~And conjured up of
 7     8|    crossed to face;~So her the hermit by a different road~Will
 8     8|     cried,~When she beheld the hermit at her side.~ ~ XLV~From
 9     8|       the extremest height the hermit hoar~Of that high rock above
10     8|     and devout the approaching hermit cites:~And, now his hand
11    15|       swiftly drive.~ ~ XLII~A hermit in the poop the bark did
12    15|        thou light~(Pursued the hermit) on the bloody seat,~Where
13    15|     him, with that, the simple hermit blest.~Astolpho pricks along
14    15| Forewarned of this by the good hermit's rede.~Here to his horn
15    24|     her lover gave;~But that a hermit, from his neighbouring rest,~
16    24|        her, day and night.~The hermit therefore seconding her
17    29|      her shield and mail,~That hermit, lest she from the better
18    32|       bright tresses which the hermit shore,~These, gathered in
19    41|    much worship one espied,~In hermit's weed, descend the mountain'
20    41|    Fully revealed to that good hermit were.~ ~ LV~That anchoret
21    41|    eightieth year.~ ~ LIX~That hermit lit a fire, and heaped the
22    41|        Obysons, did dwell~That hermit hoar, and on their offspring
23    43|        approved.~ ~ CLXXXVII~A hermit not far distance hence,
24    43|     The holy cell of that same hermit hoar,~By whom Rogero was
25    43|      CXCIV~So him baptized the hermit; and as well~That monarch
26    43|      band is counselled by the hermit hoar,~Who stands, benign,
27    44|       loose.~Benignant all the hermit found that crew;~Whiter
28    44|    nothing else remains," that hermit cried,~"Nor will, I trust,
29    44|     But most of all on him the hermit wrought;~And by such marriage, '
30    44|  Parforce they parted from the hermit hoar.~ ~ XVI~The Child who,
31    44|        repossest.~ ~ XVIII~The hermit blessings on the band implores:~
32    44|        cousin, erst before the hermit made,~The Marquis Olivier
