=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.

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.
522
THOMSON: _Seasons, Spring,_ Line 556.


=Dejection.=

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