Canto

 1     1|      Almontes paid~His life a forfeit to the Christian blade.~ ~
 2    13|      let my wretched life the forfeit pay!~For what can wait me
 3    14|  troop appear.~They grudge to forfeit precious life, and lie~Crushed
 4    18|   from his debt absolved (the forfeit paid)~Who to return within
 5    20|     for which he must pay~The forfeit of his life, nigh loathed
 6    22|        When of his crimes the forfeit had been paid~By him, the
 7    23|  thought~To her his treason's forfeit to have paid.~Nor profits
 8    25|     in the strife,~As quickly forfeit liberty and life.~ ~ VI~
 9    31| disastrous strife~Will surely forfeit liberty or life.~ ~ LXXXIII~
10    32|      in charms,~That I should forfeit what I won in arms.~ ~ CV~"
11    34|      sure he otherwise should forfeit all,~And, after, die in
12    35|   thee~Not therefore will thy forfeit armour tear,~Nor shall thy
13    38|      band has lost,~A heavier forfeit will henceforth be paid.~
14    39|       sin of broken faith and forfeit word~Fall upon Rodomont!
15    44|       I, encircled with their forfeit crown,~Shall be for Aymon
16    45|      condemning to pay~Life's forfeit with the next succeeding
17    45|       our sovereign lord~Will forfeit, I believe, his plighted
18    46|     world possess;~And rather forfeit life than ever know~That
19    46|   undefended, be opprest,~And forfeit so without dispute his right,~
