Canto

 1     5|      helm he wore:~But he for mercy prayed with humble cheer,~
 2     6|       XVI~Rinaldo for Dalinda mercy won;~Who from her fault'
 3    10|   from all offences are;~Such mercy there, it seems, is found
 4    14|   While we in mind thy saving mercy bear."~ ~ LXXIII~So spake
 5    15|       shed:~But if on me such mercy God bestow,~That I remain
 6    16| cannot for the priest bespeak~Mercy, nor innocence avail the
 7    17|       remission's bound,~That mercy may with justice mingled
 8    17|       his sake: -- nor by thy mercy showed~On him, as my companion
 9    18|    feeble flock, which at his mercy are;~So, in their sleep,
10    19|       enshrine,~In thanks for mercy shown, and to bestow~A pious
11    20|     burn, sack, and slay,~Nor mercy be to any one extended.~
12    20|      to that port are led,~No mercy shall to any one afford,~
13    20|      maintain.~Such all their mercy, all the clemency~The law
14    24|       in his mind,~And him to mercy towards the wretch inclined.~ ~
15    24|      fortune be,~Without more mercy, without time for prayer,~
16    27|        and head he plies:~His mercy with loud voice the wretch
17    27|    evil hands,~Aye weeps, and mercy of that maid demands.~ ~
18    31|      he be slain, or else for mercy sue,~A prisoner to Mount
19    33|     sore I have offended,~For mercy, yet, bethink thee, 'tis
20    34|     his woe,~After entreating mercy long in vain,~He sickened
21    34|     shall I dwell;~For saving mercy helpeth not in hell."~ ~
22    37|      springs, and there shows mercy unto none.~Mown are we with
23    41|       those others sped,~Whom mercy wind and weather seaward
