Canto

 1     1| palfrey sped~By strange and crooked paths with furious flight;~
 2    11|  will bear,~Or eagle in her crooked claws convey~Pigeon, or
 3    11|     up the sandy shore,~The crooked crab from sea or marsh ascends.~
 4    13|    by the common show.~Each crooked way or straight her feet
 5    16|   power~To the left-hand by crooked ways he led;~That, meaning
 6    17|  because men still trod the crooked way,~God sent them for their
 7    21|      As the trained hawk of crooked talon who~Clutches the partridge,
 8    22|  strain~By path so foul and crooked, that a day~To reach the
 9    23|   and dale, by straight and crooked way,~By fosse and cliff,
10    28| believed.~-- `A scorned and crooked monster,' (then he cried,)~`
11    37|    leave the vale, and by a crooked road~And long ascend, now
12    37| right way~Into foul Error's crooked maze; and all~The good that
13    39| beyond all esteem;~Becoming crooked and heavy, long, and wide.~
14    42| Stygian strand,~Charon with crooked boat-hook dragged aboard.~
15    43|    battered head:~With body crooked and crushed I should have
16    45|     straight way and now by crooked wound~Frontino, now by wood
