 2     I|     gathered by their foe,~No towers defenced with rampire, moat,
 3     I|      city's wall, and lay his towers prostrate,~To former fear
 4    II|      waste is laid,~In fenced towers bestowed is their grain~
 5    II|    goods:~This is our engine, towers that overthrows,~Our spear
 6   III|     over,~From tops of Sion's towers, the hills and dales,~And
 7   III| bulwarks, flankers, ports and towers,~The shafts and quarries
 8    VI|    XLI~The shock made all the towers and turrets quake,~And woods
 9   VII|    this land, these towns and towers~Destroyed are with sword,
10   VII|     And throws down towns and towers thereon which stand.~ ~

19 XVIII|      did sweep,~Wherewith the towers once or twice did shake,~
20 XVIII|   dance the pines,~And Sion's towers and sacred temples smile~
21 XVIII|  destroyed fall~The ports and towers that battery durst abide;~
