 1     3| defended~From the winged lions' claws and fierce attacks;~Nor
 2     7|        the crested snake;~Their claws from tiger and from panther
 3    10|      other beast with teeth and claws: but how~Can ever cruel
 4    10|       fiercer rave,~Me with his claws and rushes rend and tear,~
 5    11|         Or eagle in her crooked claws convey~Pigeon, or such-like
 6    15|     babes forlorn~They from the claws of two huge birds had torn.~ ~
 7    19|       and rage,~To unsheath her claws, and blood her tushes bare,~
 8    26|        lean and dry,~And lion's claws; a fox in all the rest:~
 9    33|      design to shun~Those cruel claws, which, pouncing from the
10    34|      avenging sword~Rescue from claws and stench our goodly fare,~
11    40|      For so the lion's beak and claws you tore,~From that day
