Canto

 1     3|        swift horse is taught to wheel,~And caracol and gallop
 2     6|     tired of air, with sweeping wheel and wide,~Began upon an
 3    10|         distress~Whom Fortune's wheel beats down in changeful
 4    12|    their ready steeds, began to wheel;~And where the armour thinnest
 5    14|   Algarbi governed by Grandonio wheel.~The brother of Marsilius,
 6    16|       More inland, with a wider wheel to go.~Thus England's horse
 7    16|         bow, and whiz of sling,~Wheel and machine, and stone from
 8    16|         they may,~And with wide wheel and spacious compass wind,~
 9    17|      Make their steeds leap and wheel and proudly tread.~Each,
10    17|         would excuse the sudden wheel,~Upon his courser might
11    17| truncheons down, their coursers wheel,~And, full of daring, with
12    19|         on the top of Fortune's wheel is seated;~Since he, by
13    22|   turned his horse, and, in the wheel,~Handled his sword, so good
14    33|       over whom false Fortune's wheel had rolled,~Erewhile, beneath
15    33|     thence returning, prompt to wheel and smite,~Circles and beats
16    34|    which aye turns the restless wheel, I say:~I speak of what
17    35|        had spied~Upon the fatal wheel for finish wound,~He a fair
18    35|      close attains,~When on the wheel is wound the fatal twine;~
19    40|         height~Of HER revolving wheel were downward hurled,~Who
20    45|     poor mortal go~On Fortune's wheel, which runs a restless round,~
21    45|    shall ride,~If the revolving wheel again be twirled.~Some on
22    45|    spurns~Of Fortune; since her wheel for ever turns.~ ~ V~Through
23    46|          None doomed to prison, wheel or halter, none~Condemned
