  2     1|          with lance and sword to fight,~He led from Africa to swell
  3     1|       had withdrawn him from the fight,~To rest and drink at that
  4     1|        as much molest:~For if we fight because yon rising sun~This
  5     1|          warrior swore,~Never in fight, or foray would he use~Helmet

  9     2|        your fierce and fruitless fight.~Sure it were better, while
 10     2|          warrior shall begin the fight.~When, whether the first
 11     3|       shall be to wage~The mimic fight, and sweat with spear and
 12     3|      than warlike princes win in fight.~Who struggling Fury's hands
 13     3|         usurping Venice arms for fight,~And her full troops his
 14     3|        home, or when eschews the fight?~But to escape the blaze
 15     4|      here and there prolongs the fight.~So drove or wheeled her
 16     4|        Who whilom was subdued in fight by me,~As I to-day had hoped
 17     4|  Uncasqued for him, and from the fight apart;~And hence an arrow
 18     4|        law, unless some champion fight~On her behalf, and, ere
 19     5|         is esteemed so fierce in fight,~It seems as he were feared

 25     6|       brother came, prepared for fight.~ ~ XV~And yielding to his
 26     6|          paladin, sore feared in fight;~Cousin I was to two of
 27     6|        seemed centaurs, quick in fight and rape;~Naked, or mantled
 28     7|          not on palfrey, for the fight:~In place of that, she on

144    38|         came, alone with thee to fight;~Because I grudged that
145    38|      pitted one to one in listed fight --~Not Roland, not Rinaldo

155    39|      paynim, killed in that last fight,~Though in unequal parts (
156    40|    consoled, and in his cause to fight,~Like courteous king, the
157    40|       Gradasso should for him in fight contend;~Deeming too sore
