  2     1|   cavalier.~ ~ XXXIX~If friend or foe, she nothing comprehends,~(
  3     1|        and jeopardy;~And well thy foe the loser may I call,~(Who
  4     2|       their teeth, while each his foe surveys~With sidelong glance
  5     2|          let either show~What his foe's death to either can avail,~
  6     2|       Gradasso scarcely marks the foe~He hears him swooping near,
  7     2|        when to smite the shifting foe he turned,~Him in the sky,
  8     2|      blazes in his face,~Than his foe tumbles dazzled on the field;~
  9     2|          to abandon his unweeting foe;~And to the dame -- " 'Twere
 10     3|         distress and vex him as a foe;~Chased into Barco. It were
 11     3|       fence her walls against the foe;~Nor that he theatre and
 12     3|           by land, will shame the foe,~With memorable rout and
 13     3|       command,~Against the wizard foe thou could'st not stand.~ ~
 14     3|           release Rogero from his foe~And his enchanted cage,
 15     4|           battle with this wizard foe."~ ~ IX~"It shall not need,"

 17     4|       mace he seemed to smite the foe:~But sate aloof and had
 18     4|       shield, secure to blind his foe,~And by the magic light,
 19     4|       near, and grappled fast the foe.~That wretched man, the
 20     4|    Intending to behead the fallen foe,~She lifts her conquering
 21     5|          every clime, his natural foe;~But to deal death to those
 22     5|           approached the fraudful foe,~So pleased to work Geneura'
 23     5|          Zerbino, is not here the foe to face;~Since many months
 24     6|       will the sisters give their foe no rest,~Till of her scanty
 25     6|         spear,~But swiftly at his foe Rogero sprung,~Thrust at
 26     6|           sight of the astonished foe,~Left at his saddle by the
 27     8|           string,~And terrible to foe, with kick and bite;~While
 28     8|        towards the swiftly-footed foe,~Whom he sees wield a riding-wand,
 29     8|           barbarous and so base a foe!~Oh! cruel Fortune! who
 30     8|         Went straight towards the foe: but what befell~Him next,
 31     9|          were to smite a sleeping foe.~Now this he seeks, and
 32     9|      yield myself to such a cruel foe.~ ~ LI~"If nothing more
 33     9|           in the hand~Of her foul foe, to have Bireno freed;~He
 34     9|           corner, he waylaid:~His foe, as hunter watches for his
 35     9|       fierce Orlando was upon his foe~Faster than arrow flies
 36     9|       base be rated with a better foe,~Down with thee to the darkest
 37    10|          wherever envious hand~Of foe amid the grain has cast
 38    10|      course, to cheat the veering foe:~But as if beating on a
 39    10|       fall;~But reaching once the foe, he pays for all.~ ~ CVI~
 40    11|          saw him lie,~To deal the foe his death, his helm untied,~
 41    11|      takes in hold,~And waits the foe with constant heart and
 42    12|         palace, seeking still his foe,~And here and there in restless
 43    13|       stroke content to blind the foe;~Unsated, save it register
 44    13|          thee,~As wonted; but thy foe, that wizard fell,~Him yet
 45    13|           not when the traitorous foe is nigh:~For never shall
 46    13|        into the clutches of their foe;~Yet find at last a quittance
 47    13|    unheard of hate and wrong, her foe~Would by her hand destroy
 48    14|        and Afric and their Gallic foe,~Countless had been the
 49    14|        not made resistance to thy foe,~Better, Ravenna, had it
 50    14|          bearer of the news, "the foe~Who slew our troop, would

 60    16|         that do their duty on the foe.~But such were not the atchievements
 61    16|          you, for vanquishing the foe,~More lands than France
 62    16|           to assail the barbarous foe;~The paladin the Irishmen
 63    16|       ground:~But hearing now the foe, with shouts defied~Their
 64    16|        When either warrior to his foe was near;~And that short
 65    16|      Forthwith King Dardinel, the foe to assail,~Moved up his
 66    16|           little boot escapes his foe;~For him Duke Thraso's horse

 68    16|        the poll,~The arm of other foe his strokes divide;~And
 69    16|   Yielding so vilely to so vile a foe?~Behold the promised trophies,
 70    16|       than thousand others of the foe --~And spurs his horse,
 71    17|         one man alone, a prisoned foe,~Who cannot scale the walls

 81    18|    Saracens are sent,~To give the foe checkmate and end the game;~
 82    18|        While this is doing in his foe's despite,~And with the
 83    18|          rear guard of the paynim foe,~Where bold Marsilius halts
 84    18|         turn their backs upon the foe.~Taller than all William
 85    18|           sought Martano with his foe to cope)~The caitiff's arms

199    39|       ships so shocked the paynim foe,~That many vessels to the
200    40|          ertop the turrets of the foe,~Those bulwarks stand a

202    40|           that faulchion from the foe,~To India had the Count
203    40|          will perform against the foe:~He but demands of all that
204    40|          ships had yielded to the foe,~Stood mute and weeping,
205    41|          plates encase the paynim foe,~These hinder much that

212    42|        backstroke, he assails the foe;~He often smites, but never
213    42|         is resolved to plague the foe with fire:~He gripes the
214    44|        might and main against the foe.~The skins Astolpho gave
215    44|         retires before a stronger foe;~Nor can I of myself dispose,

224    45|           either arm deprived his foe;~So the emperor was assured,
225    45|          lord, I pray, this cruel foe,~That by his torment I may

229    45|          knew~Her peril, save the foe was quickly sped:~For if

231    45|            yet the harness of her foe~Will break, which through
232    45|         gentle maid he crave,~His foe in listed fight of life
233    45|     unicorn, believed he from his foe~Was safe; and thought no
234    46|        ford the stream and make a foe of Rome,~He every banner
235    46|           made me, knowing not my foe;~So hatred from my bosom
236    46|         bands against the Grecian foe;~For all that he had conquered
237    46|       pleasure rules that impious foe~Of Heaven, together with
238    46|        still in flight before the foe,~His guide in peril, his
239    46|          that he would afford~His foe no time his spirits to renew:~
240    46|         fain would close upon his foe;~But his foot fails him,
241    46|          with spite and rage, his foe~Takes by the neck and shoulders,
242    46|     conqueror rise,~Who foils his foe by force, and not despite;~
