Yes, I will see her, slight her, and upbraid.

What! in the very hour? She knew the time,

And doubtless chose it to increase her crime.”

Forth rode Orlando by a river’s side,

Inland and winding, smooth, and full, and wide,

That roll’d majestic on, in one soft-flowing tide;

The bottom gravel, flow’ry were the banks,

Tall willows waving in their broken ranks;

The road, now near, now distant, winding led

By lovely meadows which the waters fed;
