Canto

 1     1|        succour lent,~And slew most paynims in the martial fray.~But
 2    14|            to forego,~This had the paynims purchased at the cost~Of
 3    14|            thither I return, where paynims stun~Fair France with hosile
 4    14|         steel and tinder, 'mid the paynims go,~And fire and flame in
 5    14|            she among the strongest paynims go;~And find occasion whence
 6    14|          bray.~He next the hostile paynims went to find,~And with I
 7    14|         Insufferably the advancing paynims gall:~An ill-resisted rain,
 8    14|             While ours, intent the paynims that assail~The town, should
 9    16|          spear;~Only the scattered paynims slaughtered lie,~As if conducted
10    16|      squadrons yield~To the fierce paynims, and exclaims: "Where go~
11    18|            Zamor.~"Where, 'mid the paynims," might to me be said,~"
12    18|        upon.~When in good time the paynims backward steer,~And sheathe
13    27|           By good Rogero and those paynims three~Defeated, Charlemagne
14    27|          all points the Franks for paynims know.~-- "To arms, to arms!"
15    27|         all (since now the foe~The paynims pressed no more, the vantage
16    31|       Their first post forced, the paynims understand~No laughing matter
17    31|           To assail, by night, the paynims ill purveyed;~And ready
18    31|        Some twenty thousand of the paynims fled.~ ~ LXXXV~Those whom
19    32|        knight,~A prisoner to those paynims, from the day,~That fought
20    32|      Malagigi's aid,~The siege the paynims had to Paris laid.~ ~ L~--
21    35|           To Arles, where camp the paynims, would I ride.~ ~ LVIII~"
22    39|        Since the hour was come the paynims to requite~For more than
23    40|           tokens of his might,~The paynims charged, o'erthrew, hewed
24    40|         cloth shred and shorn, the paynims round~In fury shreds and
25    41| Thitherward, where their tents the paynims rear;~And parleys, by this
26    44|        Dudon's ships which did the paynims rout;~Whose prows (new miracle!)
