Canto

 1     3|         belted sword:~Who shall defend the church from barbarous
 2    11|      immure~The assailants, can defend her from her foes,~The monster,
 3    12|       the grotto's inmates, and defend~From scathe or scorn, which
 4    13|         first prevent them, and defend~The entrance with their
 5    14|     able were~Those horsemen to defend the royal bride,~Committed
 6    14|       faith put down and quell.~Defend thy suffering people, who
 7    15|      the Church from outrage to defend,~And rights of Charles,
 8    17|         greedy wolves thy flock defend.~ ~ LXXX~But whither have
 9    18|         this from me thou canst defend,~Canst ill defend it from
10    18|         canst defend,~Canst ill defend it from Orlando's might."~
11    18|          I what I bear, as well defend in fight;~And I more honour
12    19|      the knight.~I now from him defend myself with pain,~Who is
13    20|         conquer, shall the port defend~With other comrades, pardoned
14    20|          Was not because we, to defend this reign,~Of their assistance
15    20|     many castle, wall and port, defend.~Nor know I certain way
16    21|         of helm, the warrior to defend.~Without a struggle was
17    21|      his care commended,~Her to defend his promise he had plight~
18    23|      with arms might succour or defend.~ ~ XCVIII~Next, if they
19    24|     Orlando, this not daring to defend,~Has feigned him mad, and
20    27|     mean time let him who would defend~That caitiff, come himself,
21    30|  against his foe,~Thou would'st defend, and keep from harm or stain~
22    31|        Richardetto to the joust defend:~He, prompt for battle,
23    32|     their footing first and the defend,~Who to be lodged within
24    32|        this cause take on me to defend,~Say (whether fairer or
25    33|       friendly squadrons should defend~From all barbarians else
26    33|       after, injured Leo, would defend.~This quells Astolpho, and
27    36|      the throng;~But, first -- "Defend thee, false Rogero!" --
28    36|        He raised the buckler to defend his head,~And the sword
29    37|        damsels twain~Can scarce defend the felon in that strife;~
30    37|       the sex's cause would aye defend,~Foe to their foes, and
31    41| Perceiving now that nothing can defend~Their bark from wreck on
32    43|        wall and sheltering dyke defend,~The united world's assault
33    43|        thousand faulchions will defend~More surely, and through
34    44|         fling; the Bulgar would defend the wave;~When thither came
35    46|        his due.~ ~ CVIII~He can defend himself; nor need he crave~
