Canto

 1     1|     rude unharboured heath and savage height,~While every leaf
 2     4|       why~The tower he in that savage place designed,~Doing such
 3     5|      Argos, or upon~Other more savage soil, prepare to hear;~And
 4     6|        bestrides,~Eriphila the savage beldam's name;~Who cheats,
 5     7|  Concealed in Alpine place and savage, stood.~But that enchantress
 6     8|     kept by that foul crew~The savage, ancient statute, which
 7    10|       marquis hight,~Is in his savage country first of right.~ ~
 8    10|         Such Moray's flag, the savage squadron's head,~Who means
 9    11|      search of vest~Beyond the savage island's narrow bound,~Since
10    13|    Serpent, or lion, hid their savage brood,~They could find that,
11    14|    maid, to curb and reins~His savage mouth disdains not to unclose.~
12    15|      poisonous kind,~And other savage monsters cross his way:~
13    17|         Tusks jutting out like savage swine he shows,~A breast
14    18|        prisoned, to engage~The savage monster, for the mob's delight;~
15    19|       Laiazzi's bay.~Guido the savage, bondsman in the land,~Which
16    19|       XCVII~If heavy falls the savage damsel's blade,~That falls
17    20|      and every hour.~Guido the Savage I by name am hight,~Ill
18    20|      hurry to the strand,~With savage Orontea, by whom given~Was
19    21|       sight,~With menacing and savage voice he cried,~"Either
20    22|     the goodly crew:~Guido the savage, but a stripling yet,~Gryphon,
21    22|      other knight?"~(Guido the savage said) "and, if I lie,~Off
22    24|     And gorging oftentimes the savage fare,~Swallowed the prey
23    26|  Argier's king he sprang, like savage boar,~Encountering him with
24    29|       in that lone retreat~And savage, open to his evil aim,~And
25    31|       start.~ ~ XXIX~Guido the savage was that cavalier,~Who,
26    31| misdeed."~ ~  XCVIII~Guido the savage, as he spake, was nigh~With
27    32|        And then those deeds by savage Guido done,~Kept me employed
28    33|        echoes with the beat of savage wing.~Behold! the band of
29    34|      Sent, for seven years, of savage fury full,~To feed on grass
30    36| Whereat designed to strike the savage fair.~Scarce his left arm
31    37|  described by me,~To prove the savage use that cruel peer~Has
32    39|    earthly cavalier,~Guide the savage, that intrepid breast,~And
33    39|   those warlike lords espied~A savage man, and one so strong of
34    39|      band.~ ~ XXXVII~The naked savage whirled a sapling round,~
35    42|      if so possest,~To ill and savage action led astray,~It may
36    43|         one score and eight:~A savage life he led and out of sight,~
