 1     1|       Still smarting from those strokes so fell and dread.~Yet they
 2    11|     passed that measure, if the strokes were more:~And had already
 3    12|             LXXXI~His ceaseless strokes scarce one the other wait:~
 4    14|         Return, amid a storm of strokes and blows.~ ~ CXI~Nor in
 5    15|        sword; he 'mid a rain~Of strokes would from the body at one
 6    16|        The arm of other foe his strokes divide;~And he, of these
 7    17|       But, after, he so ill his strokes did deal,~Demosthenes his
 8    17|   failure of the spear~In a few strokes the sabre shall supply;"~
 9    18|         As well the others many strokes let fly~At him, himself;
10    18|       warriors near.~His mighty strokes discharging, at each blow,~
11    19|         her corslet's mail,~The strokes aye harmless on the breast-plate
12    19|      champions with such horrid strokes offend,~Nor sign of trouble
13    26|     Whom into equal parts those strokes divide,~Half dropt on this,
14    30|       shield at need --~-- What strokes are feints, and what with
15    30|        champions evermore their strokes redouble~Faster than pattering
16    31|     were the skies,~Their cruel strokes well nigh fell harmless
17    32|            LXXVII~When at three strokes she had unhorsed them all,~
18    33|      lance she levels, at three strokes extends~All three on earth,
19    33|     solid, able to endure~Three strokes alone of such conflicting
20    33|      secure,~They in a thousand strokes might clash on high,~--
21    33|     main,~But well nigh all his strokes were spent in air;~Of, if
22    33|    smote upon a bag of tow,~The strokes without effect and languid
23    38|         now with its heel~Their strokes they at the head or foot
24    41|       espied,~After such mighty strokes unstained and dry,~Thinking
25    44| LXXXVIII~None that behold those strokes maintain their place;~So
26    45|          would such fury to her strokes impart,~That each should
27    45|         While straight and back strokes, aimed now low, now high,~
28    45|        known,~I know these very strokes thou wilt bemoan.~ ~ LXXXI~
