 1     1|      Of COURTESIES, and many a DARING FEAT;~And from those ancient

 3     1|       to her purpose taxed his daring,~To reassume as wont her
 4     2|     good Duke Aymon sprung.~By daring deeds and puissance no less
 5     2|     weep,~And, as I trust, yon daring spoiler slain,~Give my lost
 6     7|     defies.~ ~ VI~As quick and daring, the gigantic Pest~Spurred
 7     9|        of Heaven.~ ~ XLIV~"The daring feat achieved, I cannot
 8    10|      the bird, who strains~His daring eyes to keep the sun in
 9    12|     fierce appeal:~Equal their daring, equal was their might,~
10    12|         The starlings from the daring merlin flee;~So, of that
11    14|       bold son,~Who raised his daring face, resolved to go~And
12    14|        is the Tartar monarch's daring, those~At such a disadvantage
13    14|     The town, should pay their daring folly dear,~(Who from the
14    15|     skilled to do,~Who was but daring to his proper loss;~And
15    16|     adventure dread~Of that so daring Moor to mind recall,~The
16    17| cleared the court,~He with one daring hand, which scorned the
17    17|   coursers wheel,~And, full of daring, with drawn falchions close.~
18    18|     past without the walls.~In daring men at arms and mob increase,~
19    18|  peaceful sleep and still.~The daring Saracen lopt off his head,~
20    19|   bestow.~He who would see two daring spirits weighed,~To seek
21    22|         who with such wondrous daring glowed,~That hope, which
22    23|       lord,~And hence is he so daring in affray.~Yet well I trust,
23    24|      it may.~Orlando, this not daring to defend,~Has feigned him
24    24|      From strength and greater daring, and from art;~For in the
25    25|       hath adventured with too daring will,~In rescue of the youth
26    25|   devise,~Exclaims with mickle daring: "Be at ease;~I challenge
27    26| Trebbia's field, with Caesar's daring mind,~And Alexander's fortune,
28    27|    bold allies~The unconquered daring and the wondrous might,~
29    27|      LXXIX~No greater were the daring and the might~(Though infinite)
30    31|       to one.~Much force, much daring, and much skill appear~In
31    32|     thee in beauteous form and daring feat,~Since thou in matchless
32    33|     Less was Ulysses famed for daring feat;~Nestor, that knew
33    34|   birth endowed~With sovereign daring and with sovereign might,~
34    35|   XXXVI~"Are you (she said) so daring and so kind,~As kind and
35    35|       and so kind,~As kind and daring you appear in show,~Venge
36    36|       and sanguinary fray.~The daring damsel, fair Dordona's boast,~
37    37|     his stand.~Through natural daring and through amorous heat,~
38    39|        exprest~Of that fierce, daring female twain whilere;~Who
39    39|        whom unwonted might~And daring was imparted from on high,~(

41    40|   clang with hand and foot the daring knight,~Sprang on the embattled
42    42|        other wight;~Yet wonted daring counterfeits and feigns,~
43    43|      courtesy, whose might and daring through~The universal world
44    44|       with it,~Be beauty or be daring what it may,~Dexterity or
45    44|    hath signified,~With wonted daring armed her heart again;~And
46    45|       So is he prompted by his daring sprite)~Thinks, mid a thousand
