  2     1|         flies, while vainly we in battle bleed?~ ~ XX~"Then how much
  3     1|       mount and stay~To wait this battle's end, the lovely dame,~
  4     2|        freed,~You may believe the battle does not sleep~Between those
  5     2|          between, and stops their battle short.~ ~ XVI~"In courtesy,"
  6     2|          bestow~On him who in the battle shall prevail,~If Roland,
  7     4|       choose but go)~To strive in battle with this wizard foe."~ ~

 11     5|      cheer,~That he made sign the battle should not be~Further continued
 12     7|          the bridge, prepared for battle, showed,~Threatening, as
 13     9|         plight,~That he will do a battle, at my prayer,~Upon the
 14     9|       first the shot in our first battle slew,~Reaching his heart,
 15    10|          thus by land and sea was battle, fell~And furious, waged
 16    11|           sword in air,~To sudden battle him the Child defies,~But
 17    12|        truth depart;~And armed to battle either champion went,~Less
 18    12|       fierce Ferrau such dreadful battle wages,~That stroke or thrust
 19    12|          disappeared; and so that battle sore~Was witnessed 'twixt
 20    12|      thought~To bring that deadly battle to a truce;~And not that
 21    14|        ancient deeds compare,~The battle, whose illustrious palm

 23    15|         gate:~For while the cruel battle here was fought,~Wherein
 24    15|         Honours him more than any battle's gain~Which Julius ever
 25    15|          Were pleased the furious battle to defer,~Till a new sun
 26    15|        the pest~Only could him in battle hope to quell:~But this
 27    15|          With pleasure could that battle's issue see:~Since those

 29    16|        And long in even scale the battle hung.~For Horse and Foot,
 30    16|       soul,~Restores the wavering battle on that side;~Whence the
 31    16|       parts the troops who to the battle speed.~He sought himself

 33    19|           fight,~And can in cruel battle lay them dead,~And, after,
 34    19|       through!~So serried was the battle of the foe! --~I have seen
 35    19|          light,~Then to renew the battle, I concede.~No honour 'twere
 36    20|         fair course which they in battle run.~Corinna and Sappho,
 37    20|            instead of this, alone~Battle against ten others to maintain;~
 38    20|         run~Who would the fearful battle's end espy,~As swarming
 39    21|        hear,~Which seem a sign of battle fiercely plied,~And (as
 40    23|       contend;~Nor will I in this battle, that it be~More mine than
 41    24|        With whosoe'er he be, thou battle do.~I will this while that
 42    24|        others prize,~The stirring battle; and who am prepared~My
 43    24|    infidel.~Worse than before the battle boils, while they~With pride
 44    25|        gay,~Neither would in that battle sheathe the brand,~Till
 45    26|           Rodomont,~And forthwith battle follows fierce and fell.~
 46    26|       sate their eyes,~Who in the battle such had her espied,~She
 47    26|         stay;~So that the two the battle might maintain,~Throughout
 48    26|           with delay;~Crying, "If battle here is to be done,~Finish
 49    26|      clear,~By proof, how much in battle he avails:~Yet shuns the
 50    26|       ground, will I support~That battle shall not be between us
 51    26|      Rogero had before~Engaged in battle, only on this quest,~Divided
 52    26|           long ago --~Twixt us in battle was this question tried:~
 53    26|           of these would fiercest battle wage,~And would outgo his
 54    27|       Rogero and Marphisa rush~To battle, so the Christian squadrons
 55    27|           that he had done~Fierce battle for that sword with Brava'
 56    27|          shall to me his right of battle yield.~ ~ LXI~"It that be
 57    27|          mine shall be the second battle, so~That Argier's monarch
 58    27|           and the other Mars, for battle steeled,~(Replies enraged,
 59    27|         And every better means of battle fail,~With thee for this
 60    27|          With thee for this would battle, tooth and nail."~ ~ LXXVIII~
 61    27|          their mickle ire,~Fierce battle was inflamed, and blazed
 62    30|        his own; and who~Loses the battle lose alike for two.~ ~ XXII~"
 63    30|        and little gain~Out of the battle you to wage prepare;~Small
 64    30|        anew;~And now parforce the battle must ensue.~ ~ XLVI~The
 65    31|      joust defend:~He, prompt for battle, wheeled his courser round,~
 66    31|     another, stood~The knights in battle; and the golden sun~Already
 67    31|        thought upon your side~The battle to excuse," Rinaldo cried.~ ~
 68    31|     beseech thee, that before~The battle be, thou fully comprehend~
 69    31|           Not, as upon the former battle's eve,~They choose their
 70    31|          heart secure to win~That battle's honour, wends the paladin.~ ~
 71    33|         And on Rialto's shore his battle post.~Then fly and leave
 72    33|           Extend their files, and battle rages high;~Fast fall the
 73    33|          by force should bear,~In battle, other steeds and other
 74    33|           been,~Upon their deadly battle so intent,~That, save on
 75    33|    conqueror's destined meed,~The battle to suspend, on either side,~
 76    33|           Beside whose brim their battle they should end.~ ~ XC~Quitting
 77    35|         The news, that one craved battle on the plain.~Serpentine
 78    36|       armour cased,~Balked of the battle by Marphisa's haste.~ ~
 79    36|          they with desperate fury battle wage.~ ~ XLIX~At half-sword'
 80    36|         foe~Had left him in their battle, she must know;~ ~ LXXXII~
 81    37|        bold, victorious deeds, in battle done,~I strive to bring
 82    38|         people inexpert~He may to battle train, in plate and mail;~
 83    38|          ye~Have war and wasteful battle more at heart,~Waged hitherto
 84    38|  cavaliers surround.~Believes the battle is already gained;~And chooses
 85    38|       That he in his despite must battle do;~In sobs his consort
 86    39|        stake.~ ~ VI~"Let not this battle be pursued, my lord,~In
 87    39|           that so narrow place of battle met --~Rodomont took, as
 88    39|          slew;~For ransom in that battle was for few.~ ~ LXXII~Of
 89    40| heretofore,~Do fierce and furious battle on that part,~Which lies
 90    40|           be defied, more due~The battle is to me (that king replies)~
 91    40|     grasped the sword;~But not in battle mixed that martial lord.~ ~
 92    40|       spilled,~In that disastrous battle, Dudon's blood~(Well in
 93    41|          designed upon the day~Of battle, for his royal father's
 94    41|          should not the appointed battle fight;~And every town --
 95    41|     Meanwhile elsewhere is horrid battle done~By royal Agramant and
 96    41|           peer,~Who snatched that battle from him, he between~Those
 97    41|           Roland's and Gradasso's battle weighed.~ ~ XCIV~Gradasso
 98    41|          the utmost peril in that battle brought;~For by the shining
 99    42|      Roland's side,~And from that battle far himself doth see:~Every
100    43|           furious tide~Of fearful battle; to retire the last;~Yet
101    43|    embraced, and said,~How in the battle Brandimart was slain.~Such
102    44|       With many horse and foot in battle dight,~Who nothing under

108    45|           cavalier, which in that battle dread~With much ado had
109    45|        the day~Wherein by him the battle should be done,~Like that
