dispart

To part, separate.

[…] that same mighty man of God, / That bloud-red billowes like a walled front / On either side disparted with his rod […]

[…] tenderly unfringe / Your long and lustrous lashes; cluster down / The mantling glory of deep fragrant hair, / Disparted from each forehead, myrtle-wreath'd, […]

To divide, divide up, distribute.

Them in twelue troupes their Captain did dispart / And round about in fittest steades did place […]
