 1     2|      gather fresher forces for defence.~ ~ XXVI~For he is bent
 2     4|        resource,~Unweeting the defence, towards her wends.~He bares
 3     4|        her head,~Unless to her defence some warrior hie;~And as
 4     4|   warrior who has stood~In her defence, be come of gentle blood.~ ~
 5     6|    view~Encounter death in her defence; and he,~My brother, who
 6     8| purpose balk,~And thou find no defence against this hawk?"~ ~ VI~
 7     9|        Not with intent, in his defence to bear~What he had taken,
 8    14|    with restless care~Provides defence and succour every where.~ ~
 9    18|  greedy fang,~And, bold in her defence, assail the steer:~One bites
10    20|        Whether they fly or for defence prepare;~Then give the town
11    23|        For prince Zerbino such defence provides,~There is no fear
12    24|      at large the train;~He in defence of good Orlando's blade,~
13    26|     all.~I say again -- to his defence take heed.~I either here
14    32|   maintains~The courier maid's defence, her beauteous cheer~And
15    33|       princes, and the faith's defence,~To which those rustics
16    36|      to the city-wall,~For due defence would every means provide,~
17    37|        Prompter to arm in your defence is none;~Nor knight, in
18    37|         though he made a brave defence and long,~Of wife and life
19    37|        armed men arraid in his defence:~But speedy death appears
20    37|   forbore;~Worse, touching her defence; but better far,~If they
21    39|       strewed around;~Nor more defence the routed hands maintain;~
22    41|     ill have wrought:~Nor much defence could make the Moorish lord;~
23    42|       rampart, fosse, or wall, defence was none,~Who, one and all,
24    43|   assail,~If to behold a brave defence thou sought.~Knowst thou
25    43|   abundance and delight;~And a defence from all the fury prove~
26    43|        empire moan,~Whose best defence in thee is overthrown!~ ~
27    45|        know not aught, whereby~Defence against my grief can be
