Such a numerous host
Fled not in silence through the frighted deep,
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout,
Confusion worse confounded.

=Defect.=

So may a glory from defect arise.
519
ROBERT BROWNING: _Deaf and Dumb._

=Defence.=

What boots it at one gate to make defence,
And at another to let in the foe?
520
MILTON: _Samson Agonistes,_ Line 560.

=Defiance.=

I do defy him, and I spit at him;
Call him a slanderous coward, and a villain:
Which to maintain, I would allow him odds;
And meet him, were I tied to run a-foot,
Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps.
521
SHAKS.: _Richard II.,_ Act i., Sc. 1.

=Deity.=

Hail, source of being! universal soul
Of heaven and earth! essential presence, hail!
To Thee I bend the knee; to Thee my thoughts
Continual, climb; who, with a master hand,
Hast the great whole into perfection touch'd.

As high as we have mounted in delight,
In our dejection do we sink as low.

Next day the fatal precedent will plead;
Thus on, till wisdom is push'd out of life.

Deliberation sat, and public care.

=Delight.=

She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight,
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament.
527
WORDSWORTH: _She was a Phantom of Delight._

=Delusion.=

For love of grace,
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul
That not your trespass but my madness speaks:
It will but skin and film the ulcerous place.
Whiles rank corruption, mining all within,
Infects unseen.
528
SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 4.

=Denmark.=

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark.

SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 4.

=Deportment.=

What's a fine person, or a beauteous face,
Unless deportment gives them decent grace?
Blest with all other requisites to please,
Some want the striking elegance of ease;
The curious eye their awkward movement tires;
They seem like puppets led about by wires.
