He rose instantly, as if he had been lying on a serpent. Thebed, the house, the herdsman, every thing about the place, gave him suchhorror and detestation, that, without waiting for dawn, or the light ofmoon, he dressed himself, and went forth and took his horse from thestable, and galloped onwards into the middle of the woods. There, as soonas he found himself in the solitude, he opened all the flood-gates of hisgrief, and gave way to cries and outcries. But he still rode on. Day and night did... Orlando ride on, weeping andlamenting. He avoided towns and cities, and made his bed on the hardearth, and wondered at himself that he could weep so long. "These, " thought he, "are no tears that are thus poured forth. They arelife itself, the fountains of vitality; and I am weeping and dying both. These are no sighs that I thus eternally exhale. Nature could not supplythem. They are Love himself storming in my heart, and at once consumingme and keeping me alive with his miraculous fires. No more--no more am Ithe man I seem.
