Canto

 1     4|       prove the lie.~ ~ LIX~"Our impious Scottish law, severe and
 2     8|          to the sire, severe~And impious more than all mankind; nor
 3     8|         about,~Of her to make an impious holocaust;~In that the more
 4     9|        among the ill;~So was the impious king of Friesland hight~
 5    10|       obscure!~Bireno's actions, impious and profane,~By others are
 6    11|         with small boot: for the impious enemy~Of human nature, taught
 7    11|   appears~And worst, of nature's impious and malign,~Who did this
 8    15|          Whence with the net the impious thief returned,~Who robbed
 9    16|         and age.~ ~ XXVI~Nor the impious king alone with human blood,~--
10    16|      human blood,~-- Lord of the impious he -- his hand distains,~
11    18|        sheathe their swords, the impious slaughter done;~Deeming
12    19|      bondsman in the land,~Which impious women rule with civil sway,~
13    20| maintained, and yet maintain~The impious rite; and rarely passes
14    21|   against me side!'~ ~ XLVI~"The impious woman answered, ` 'Tis my
15    21|      safely fare.~So plucks that impious dame, parforce, the fruit~
16    21|         sore,~A Progne, a Medea; impious gain!~-- And but his knightly
17    22|      fire: the four who fell~For impious Pinnabel maintained the
18    23|     mountains rude,~And with the impious woman thence, in quest~Of
19    26|        by the foe;~And false and impious Bertolagi heard,~As with
20    28|       word or deed:~But him with impious visage and severe~The paynim
21    33|        to the mouth of hell that impious horde.~ ~ ~ I~Timagoras,
22    34|       twice and more in fell and impious strife~The count has sought
23    35|          plumes,~Till, near that impious river's bank, they gain~
24    36|        Dare, valiant heart, this impious man to slay,~And let his
25    37|      tower."~ ~ XLIV~How in that impious man such fury grew,~Asked
26    37|     bring with me,~Who this fell impious monster, in his fane,~Offer,
27    37|       none.~Mown are we with his impious sword, as strewed~Is grass
28    37|     hither brought her, that his impious rage~That cruel man might
29    41|          false Maganza's ill and impious train;~ ~ LXII~And, how
30    42|        damsel in her pain~Rogero impious, proud, and perjured call,~
31    46|        To infect such bliss with impious venom hies,~But falls in
32    46|          her pleasure rules that impious foe~Of Heaven, together
33    46|          ruin whelm the train~By impious avarice there condemned
34    46|          died, by his delay~That impious Saracen forthwith to slay;~ ~
