 1     3|         wicket grate~In the opposing wall; whence, face to face,~A
 2     4|     inhospitable rock is turned.~Nor wall nor tower on any side is
 3     5|              see a fight without the wall:~ ~ LXXIX~Beyond the city,
 4     6|          city viewed.~ ~ LIX~A lofty wall at distance meets his eye~
 5     6|          from the city's gate,~Whose wall appeared like shining gold
 6     9|           Shakes under foot and city wall; the skies~The fearful echo
 7    12|          partition aught is spied or wall:~For these, and floor beneath,
 8    12|              spread;~And there, like wall or bank, discerned in front,~
 9    14|           much toil disrupted, solid wall;~While streams of boiling
10    14|            ladders rear.~Against the wall by the assailants shored,~
11    14|         second gored.~One mounts the wall through valour, one through
12    14|               all assay~To mount the wall; but others to assure~Themselves,
13    14|          lifted high,~Scorns not the wall alone, but braves the sky.~ ~
14    14|              Runs streaming from the wall of crimson blood.~ ~  CXXII~
15    14|                  CXXIV~Down from the wall Andropono and Moschine~He
16    14|          assail;~Because between the wall and second mound~A fosse
17    14|               And downwards from the wall such numbers threw,~The
18    15|            warrior found;~And with a wall two miles in length, the
19    16|            the second work and outer wall;~Upon those limbs the ravening
20    16|              That it could rend from wall of battered town~What, at
21    16|              LXXVI~Agramant from the wall a numerous band~Of horse
22    18|          their alarms,~Lest o'er the wall Sir Gryphon would have vaulted;~
23    18|         nought avails, from work and wall.~Their bosoms so the monarch'
24    18|              the stream, without the wall,~He turned, and saw the
25    18|             er you speed.~Too high a wall to climb is mountain-steep,~
26    19|             as little moved as solid wall,~When revellers play the
27    20|             outside,~As many castle, wall and port, defend.~Nor know
28    20|            race, encompassed by this wall,~Than any one should ever
29    21|             miles' distance from his wall.~ ~ XLII~" `And what he
30    23|        loathed hand-writing sees,~On wall, and door, and window: he
31    26|         XXXIII~Whate'er she touches, wall or rampire steep,~Goes to
32    26|              will rampart, fosse, or wall,~Secure the city, they surround,
33    27|             for shelter to his Paris wall.~ ~  XXXI~Of fierce Marphisa
34    28|          shut out the day)~Where one wall with another ill united,~
35    28|             racked,~He against every wall his head would smite --~
36    31|            whatever spoils adorn the wall,~The best and worthiest
37    32|          back on Bocchus' towers and wall;~Then, like a cormorant,
38    32|           picture, mark each storied wall.~ ~ XCVI~So beauteous are
39    32|               Whose light on storied wall and ceiling fell.~What followed
40    33|              drew,~Some working upon wall, and some on wood.~But never,
41    33|             to straiten Alexandria's wall,~Girt with his forces, foot
42    33|        emerald, ruby shine.~ ~ CV~In wall and roof and pavement scattered
43    33|             make his way,~O'er every wall, o'er every turret high,~
44    35|           renown;~Not only famed for wall and palace rare,~But noble
45    35|             down all others from the wall,~Hang on the tomb alone
46    35|              the crew~Of people over wall and rampart strain;~Nor
47    37|           neither compassed round by wall or ditch.~A rock was in
48    40|     Suspended from the holy temple's wall,~And fifteen galleys at
49    40|             priests within Biserta's wall,~Pray with their grieving
50    40|        footman may approach the very wall;~Who loaded, some with plank,
51    40|            bow,~Speedily to the city wall they post,~Nor unprovided
52    40|              Sprang on the embattled wall, and whirled his sword;~
53    40| scaling-ladders plant, and mount the wall~With rivalry, which shows
54    40|              Thus when those win the wall, they leave a space~So wide,
55    40|            place,~Have breached that wall, and with such mighty blow,~
56    40|           Where many breaches in the wall were wrought,~To slay with
57    42|            foe~In rampart, fosse, or wall, defence was none,~Who,
58    43|          bright repair~With circling wall and sheltering dyke defend,~
59    43|          takes; and hid are roof and wall:~St. George recedes; recede
60    43|              cloth of arras deck the wall,~Sumptuously woven and in
