Canto

 1     1|       with startled tread,~Than poor Angelica the bridle turns~
 2     1|      his guidance need;~For the poor drowning caitiff, who, chin-deep,~
 3     2|       and stops them short,~"So poor a penance will not pay the
 4     4|          by malice moved, alas! poor wight,"~(The weeping necromancer
 5     4|   Scottish city ride,~Where the poor damsel's cause is to be
 6     5|       Behold! what wages love's poor slaves content."~Thus to
 7    13|   Condemned, I now am wretched, poor, and vile,~And in worse
 8    14|      which the substance of the poor~Can never safe in walled
 9    14|   shriek, which came~From those poor wretches in extremity,~Perishing
10    15|        human bodies; feeding on~Poor mariners and travelling
11    18|     cast upon thee mickle care,~Poor child, who of that buckler
12    18|       purple stain,~Wealthy and poor, the king and vassal's corse,~
13    18|         upon his side:~But that poor boy, who loved his master
14    19|          old or new, --~As some poor recompense, desert, or guerdon,~
15    21|         in little space;~For my poor brother, yet diseased and
16    23|         clothed himself withal, poor succour lent~Against Orlando
17    23|         harbourage you gave,~I, poor Medoro, can but in my lays,~
18    23|    scorn~To be the consort of a poor foot-page.~-- His story
19    24|       Prince was prest;~So that poor Isabel, distraught with
20    24|         be hither led."~She the poor remnants of his vital sprite~
21    25|  nectarous dew,~To clack like a poor cuckow to the fair,~Hanging
22    26|   dismayed,~How wretched is the poor foot-soldier's trade.~ ~
23    27|     pretension, whether rich or poor;~And that, if one appeared
24    28|      the embraces of a serjeant poor;~And vowed he should in
25    29|        scanty store~Of brain in poor Orlando's head was stowed,~
26    30|         penance which we pay is poor amends.~Alas! I sorrow and
27    30|       matter for affright.~What poor account you make of me is
28    32|         noisome jail,~Pines the poor wretch for liberty and light,~
29    32|         its dingy veil;~So that poor damsel, sentenced to endure,~
30    38|   laurels crowned,~Nor rich nor poor within their tents remain:~
31    43|       means, in humble home and poor.~ ~ XII~"If Fortune's care
32    43|      Unshorn, afflicted, he, in poor array,~Thither returns,
33    43| furrowed visage hollow.~ ~ XCV~"Poor, pale, unshorn, and wretched (
34    43|        henceforth thou shalt be poor;~But wealth, the more 'tis
35    44|         his daughter.~ ~ ~ I~In poor abode, mid paltry walls
36    44|         Yet if together in some poor resort~They prisoned are
37    44|      constrained to pair~With a poor knight, she is resolved
38    45|       By how much higher we see poor mortal go~On Fortune's wheel,
39    45|        shame and scorn,~Seems a poor pain; and he must undergo~
40    46|     thither fare;~Who, rich and poor, of high and low degree,~
