Canto

 1     4|        and seeks her, who like wolf among~The bushes, couched
 2     7|        place of that, she on a wolf had sped,~Sped on a wolf
 3     7|       wolf had sped,~Sped on a wolf towards the pass; and rode~
 4     7|        showed.~ ~ IV~No larger wolf, I ween, Apulia roams;~More
 5     7|      gigantic Pest~Spurred her wolf, seated well for that dread
 6     8|      with her tongue;~Till the wolf hear from far the mournful
 7     8|      thou, indeed, to ravening wolf a prize,~Without thy faithful
 8    10|      me sepulture, be by,~Save wolf perchance, who roves this
 9    10|     away;~And that I so eschew wolf, lion, bear,~Torture, and
10    10|     Rather than this may lion, wolf, or bear,~Tiger, or other
11    11|       bears away;~As sometimes wolf a little lamb will bear,~
12    12|        hurrying swine,~(If the Wolf, issue from his grot, or
13    12|      terror yield,~Than hungry Wolf in twilight makes account~
14    14|        fed~The ravening eagle, wolf, and greedy crow;~But though
15    14|      foot, as in the cote,~The wolf makes easy waste of sheep
16    14| slaughtered band.~ ~ XXXVII~As wolf or mastiff-dog, who comes
17    16|      or Indian Ganges near,~Or wolf, by lamb or kid, on heights
18    17|     ground,~As at the ravening wolf men slip the hound.~ ~ LXXXIX~
19    17|     rubble widely spread.~As a wolf sorely hunted makes return~
20    18|     midnight hour,~Villain and wolf to spoil them and devour.~ ~
21    18|  Should lie, unworthy food for wolf or crow!~Thinking how still
22    20|       on their bed~Of earth to wolf and vulture leave the dead."~ ~
23    24|        the Biscayan, who,~Like wolf, the guardian of a lamb
24    26|      to the eye,~With teeth of wolf, an ass's head and crest,~
25    27|       tells,~How the devouring wolf and raven tear~His faithful
26    27|      sod;~So bear and ravening wolf the forest vex;~Wasp, fly,
27    31|       tell,~Doing by them what wolf on woolly herd~Does where
28    37|  thirsts for woman's more~Than wolf for blood of lambs; and
29    37|      field;~ ~ XCV~Even as the wolf, who, laden with his prey,~
30    40|    church, were he at rest,~As wolf rates lambs, when hungering
