Canto

 1   Int|    falls to the heathen knight Ferrau, Angelica flees -- with
 2   Int|    pursuit. Also in pursuit is Ferrau, who (because he had defeated
 3     1| escapes: he, following, fights~Ferrau, the Spaniard, in a forest
 4     1|      XIV~Here stood the fierce Ferrau in grisly plight,~Begrimed
 5     1|     Rinaldo strode.~But fierce Ferrau, bewildered in the wood,~
 6     1|       which in the river's bed~Ferrau sought vainly, toiling long
 7     2|        endeavour: once by bold~Ferrau; then Sacripant, as lately
 8    12|    strives in fray~With fierce Ferrau, and, after slaughter fell~
 9    12|  Brandimart, and him of Spain,~Ferrau, he finds, with Sacripant
10    12|    where caged with Roland are~Ferrau and Sacripant, directs her
11    12|       to him alone; but fierce Ferrau~And Roland came upon the
12    12|     the maid, and saw.~ ~ XXIX~Ferrau and Roland came upon the
13    12|       except with iron masque,~Ferrau, who wore not, nor would
14    12|     vanished from their sight.~Ferrau halts not, and Roland fast
15    12|        up and down,~The fierce Ferrau, who might have borne away~
16    12|             XL~Then turning to Ferrau,, "But that thine head,~
17    12|       we further fare."~To him Ferrau: "For that which breeds
18    12|      both of you!" (the fierce Ferrau replied)~"As if, did I to
19    12|     bared his trenchant blade.~Ferrau stands close, and in such
20    12|         I presume,~That fierce Ferrau was charmed is understood,~
21    12|  between the twain:~The fierce Ferrau such dreadful battle wages,~
22    12|  Angelica not far before,~When Ferrau and Orlando desperately~
23    12|   their angry heat.~ ~ LIV~But Ferrau, who first chanced the loss
24    12|         LV~And in opinion with Ferrau agreed,~That he the knight,
25    12|    spur admonished Brigliador.~Ferrau, who from the field beheld
26    12|     her full of rapture sprang Ferrau.~ ~ LIX~She disappeared,
27    12|      every master of his lore,~Ferrau returned towards the sylvan
28    14|    state,~And Saragossa's men, Ferrau commands;~And in this force,
29    14|       king;~ ~ XX~And but that Ferrau's brother Isolier,~Who fastened
30    14|     Serpentin, Balugantes, and Ferrau,~And what beside he out
31    16|    side been lost.~ ~ LXXI~But Ferrau, who till this time ever
32    18|        proud,~And the renowned Ferrau, who cried aloud:~ ~ XLIII~"
33    19|        and insolent disdain.~O Ferrau, O ye thousand more, forlorn,~
34    24|      Rogero bold,~Gradasso and Ferrau and Brava's peer.~But, when
35    25|         LXXV~"These she, since Ferrau took them, aye has stayed~
36    27|       More than one Moor, with Ferrau, known to Fame.~ ~ XXXII~
37    27|       serpent-hide to don~Bold Ferrau and Circassia's cavalier.~
38    27|  himself bestirred,~And he and Ferrau had that champion drest~
39    27|        LXXX~But Serpentine and Ferrau interfere:~They with drawn
40    35|       him assay,~Grandonio and Ferrau she with her hand~And Serpentine
41    35|     how ye are hight."~In this Ferrau the damsel satisfied,~Who
42    35|   already may in malice wrest.~Ferrau replied, "Assured I first
43    35|   beavor up, without disguise:~Ferrau, as that fair visage he

45    36|    single fight,~Grandonio and Ferrau, and then upon~Their coursers
46    36|       so quaintly knew?~And of Ferrau, who spake with him whilere,~
47    36|        Be ye assured," to them Ferrau replied,~"He is not one
