Canto

 1     2|       thy theft,~And down, false felon, from that pilfer'd steed;~
 2     2|        hope to foil his art)~The felon keeps my love, oh! say my
 3     2|          doom:~And came upon the felon where he stood,~Fearing
 4     4|      round,~(And all in fact the felon plunders) hine;~As fearing
 5     9|        will not wait~(Intent the felon, not his band, to smite)~
 6    12|       flowing rein.~ ~  VII~That felon stops not, nor to him replies,~
 7    12|        Nor can imagine where the felon thief~Has hid himself and
 8    14|       with blood, and marked his felon cheer;~And piercing shrieks
 9    15|       make retreat;~For some the felon quarters, some he flays,~
10    15|       said,~That man to slay the felon had no power.~A hundred
11    15|        the thread which tied~The felon's life, upon his way the
12    15|          his breast~Parforce the felon's spirit would expell.~So
13    15|   piecemeal shares and maims the felon round.~Orrilo re-unites
14    18|          Fury calls him, lo! the felon hies,~And brandishes on
15    18|     river strand,~Exactly as the felon swam to land.~ ~ XXXII~As
16    24|          So backed my arms, that felon was by me~Worsted, and made
17    24| treachery~Moved him to death the felon to pursue;~The recollection
18    26|       this said, with worse than felon spite,~Upon the morion of
19    28|         Him by a cruel death the felon ends.~ ~ ~  I~Ladies, and
20    31|    kindred dear~By Pinnabel, the felon knight, delaid;~Seized by
21    32|   faithful deemed.~What foul and felon act, what treachery,~Was
22    37|          moaning crew.~Upon that felon knight, for his foul scorn,~
23    37|        foe,~In haste towards the felon's castle go.~ ~ XXXIII~With
24    37|    tyrant, Marganor~(So name the felon knight) than whom more fell~
25    37|      twain~Can scarce defend the felon in that strife;~Whom those
26    45|        bow my knee,~Save on this felon, good my lord," (she cried)~"
27    45|         rays deprive,~Against me felon Fear uplifts his horn:~But
28    45|         be done,~Like that which felon spends, condemning to pay~
