Canto

 1     1|          now the warlike pair at fault, for they~Knew not by which
 2     5|      abused,~Deemed by Geneura's fault his brother dead,~Weening
 3     5|         you worshipped late.~Her fault before the Scottish king
 4     6|          mercy won;~Who from her fault's due punishment went free.~
 5     8|         knight,~By him so foul a fault should be repented,~Save
 6    11|         well concealed,~It is no fault of mine they are not blown;~
 7    13|          care and suffering:~The fault of Love, by whom I was beguiled;~
 8    14| reprieving, swore,~For his first fault to hang, offending more.~ ~
 9    17|        an inch -- will swell~His fault, and of that inch will make
10    18|          my own little wit, such fault excuse.~What by the vilest
11    18|          try~To lessen his grave fault, then made reply:~ ~ LXXXII~"
12    21|           in fine she cried)~The fault committed while you were
13    21|          with such penitence its fault appay,~As every corporal
14    24|    cowardice, or treason, fouler fault --~Upon my eyes (a well
15    24|          shent.~I, as I find his fault of Love was bred,~To give
16    26|        king betide,~Thine is the fault not mine; for I am prest~
17    27|          nor before~He mend that fault, again his lord will see,~
18    28|          of herself than sex the fault he read,~Which to one man
19    30|        he said)~"And of no other fault have I to tell.~Give me
20    31|          maintain;~For the first fault in fence, by either made,~
21    31|         knew,~Must for so foul a fault be my excuse;~And, if I
22    34|          brood.~ ~ II~Too foul a fault was his, who did unclose~
23    35|     glory tread,~As through foul fault of sordid lordlings, who~
24    35|     shall be addrest,~To mend my fault, that gentle cavalier,~With
25    36|       She on the Tartar king the fault must lay:~How sorely handled
26    38|          far away,~'Tis for such fault a fair excuse, I trow;~And
27    41|      keen:~But I into too foul a fault should fall~Meseems, my
28    41|        plain withal~If 'twas the fault of horse or cavalier;~For
29    43|      fine~We quarrelled; and the fault, alas! was mine.~ ~ XX~"
30    43|         To make him of Genevra's fault aware.~The chaste wife's
31    43|     consigned;~Nor thee I of thy fault by deed or word,~Nor me
32    43|        tresses bright,~As if the fault was wholly in her hair:~
33    44|          but to obey.~Yet a foul fault it in her eyes appears,~
34    44|      have~Pardon and pity, if in fault I be:~But, if I anger Love,
