 1     2|         a simple part among the base,~Passing in vice the villains
 2     3|     sword with blood of Pontier base;~The mighty wrong chastised,
 3     4|         stain~Unarmed and of so base a sort, her brand;~For well,
 4     4|         disdaining a revenge so base.~She sees in him, her prowess
 5     5|        The faithless knight his base deceit bewrayed.~ ~ XII~"
 6     5|         her against the accuser base maintain~Unmeriting such
 7     8|        glut so barbarous and so base a foe!~Oh! cruel Fortune!
 8     9| generous is Orlando's heart, he base~Esteems it were to smite
 9     9|         his knightly pride,~Nor base be rated with a better foe,~
10    11|    worth and chivalry,~That the base often plays the better part.~
11    15|         their files,~Naked, and base, whose hearts in martial
12    16|         lovers hid their nature base,~To others' cost, beneath
13    17|    populace should know~Martano base, they him might ill entreat.~
14    17|         CXXI~Who, after feat so base and foul, anew~Approaches,
15    18|   Rodomont, with action nothing base;~And still impeded by the
16    18|         walled, and round~Whose base a moat for its protection
17    19|       to him advantage four and base;~Who, now he by a single
18    20|       condemned to servitude so base,~As he who turns to grass
19    20|       will be doomed to slavery base,~His fate deferred but till
20    20|         whom I hither came.~Too base it were, did I depart or
21    21|      Ill-famed -- against whose base the billow heaves,~Nor against
22    23|       one turns up the inverted base,~Towards the mouth, so hastes
23    26|    trafficked in such contracts base,~And lover could his lady
24    32|        generous hands~With such base blood, and loosed the losel'
25    34|       of the men to tell,~Whose base ingratitude due pains requite;~
26    35|        master's twine,~-- These base and sluggish dullards, whom
27    40|         follow them; for at its base,~A thousand ladders have
28    45|      warrior, free from bondage base,~Brings home, and there
