Canto

 1     1|     foeman's head each aims his spear.~ ~ LXII~Not brindled bulls
 2     2|     that famed damsel, by whose spear~O'erthrown, King Sacripant
 3     2|   wizard on Gradasso breaks his spear,~He wounds the empty air,
 4     3|     mimic fight, and sweat with spear and sword:~And through the
 5     4|      rosy rays, rode forth with spear and shield:~And maid and
 6     4|         her champion true, with spear and shield,~Maintain her
 7     4|   emrpize were worthier of your spear~Than wandering through these
 8     5|        his matchless worth with spear and mace;~For if the valiant
 9     5|    continued then with sword or spear:~To whom, together with
10     5|        breast, impaled upon the spear,~More than six yards beyond
11     6|     would have smote him with a spear,~But swiftly at his foe
12     7|     wont to some, with levelled spear,~To do the warrior scorn
13     8|   restored his armour, and that spear~Of gold, which whensoe'er
14     8|         sage Melissa found this spear of gold,~Which now Alcina'
15     9|         himself, with sword and spear;~But would lay down this
16     9|      foes impales upon a single spear;~A seventh left out, who
17     9|     forest, with armed dogs and spear, attending~The boar in fury
18    11|       had dropt both shield and spear,~And hurrying now his other
19    11|         And these supplied with spear or sword descend;~And on
20    11|      winter, he with shield~And spear achieved things worthy to
21    14|     flew,~And with the levelled spear transfixed his breast.~For
22    14|      Who weaponless without the spear remained.~ ~ XLIII~Now sword
23    14|        and those others lay~The spear in rest: a multitude he
24    14|        the fragment of a broken spear;~And think foul scorn beneath
25    14|         CXII~And this than iron spear offended more:~Then how
26    16|    stirrups quivering, like the spear.~King Pulian only marks
27    16|             XLVII~With the good spear new levelled in his fist,~
28    16|         having broke his rested spear,~So wheels his horse, he
29    16|    Scots only ply the murderous spear;~Only the scattered paynims
30    16|   Behold the promised trophies, spear and shield,~Spoils which
31    17|        his courser, couched his spear,~And charged the paynim;
32    17|       Whose mail, impassable by spear or brand,~She, the white
33    17|         each other's breast the spear advance,~To the destruction
34    17|    contented for with sword and spear.~'Twere long to tell who
35    17|      saw broken many a knightly spear,~And more than one good
36    17|       says: "The failure of the spear~In a few strokes the sabre
37    17|       makes answer with a massy spear,~Out of ten others chosen
38    17|        tournament, the sword or spear;~And, but in reverence to
39    17|        his brand.~With pike and spear unfurnished was the crew,~
40    18|      strange wood of sword, and spear, and dart,~Turns Rodomont,
41    18|       helmet's frontal with the spear,~Cast him on earth, and
42    18|      wood, and Hubert, with the spear,~(Of Mirford he) and Elio
43    18| Dardinel, to avenge him, took a spear,~And, should he lay the
44    18|        helmet's vizor, next the spear,~And with their lances charge
45    18|    haste, supplied himself with spear,~And thundering vengeance
46    18|   falchion, lay,~And shield and spear, in pool of purple stain,~
47    20|        had before~Bid sword and spear and shield and cuirass bear;~
48    20|    answer seized his shield and spear,~And wheeled, and drove
49    25|        the light;~To shield and spear enured from infancy.~A spark
50    25|      not men, I ask not aid; my spear~Is, I believe, sufficient
51    26|      faulchion, or to tilt with spear;~But this with feat, which,
52    26|      other side, mid faulchion, spear, and bow,~Approached the
53    26|       blow.~Vainly Sir Vivian's spear the casque offends;~Nor
54    26|    chain,~They thrust or cut of spear or faulchion stay;~So that
55    26|       If he can conquer me with spear and sword.~ ~ CXIV~"But
56    27|   Mandricardo he must couch the spear,~Followed not Rodomont,
57    29|   disdains to brandish sword or spear,~Shouts to him from afar
58    30|      risk prepares to couch the spear.~You, more than love for
59    30|        hand)~Of knights, with a spear's truncheon overthrown,~
60    30|         either champion was the spear:~Quickly the trumpet's blast
61    31|         with tempered sword and spear,~And these bestows upon
62    31|   Rodomont as well, with rested spear,~Thundered along the bridge,
63    32|     when and where,~Or how that spear obtained the warrior bold.~
64    32|       those kings that virtuous spear,~Her cousin's gift, which
65    32|    force his helmet smites~That spear, which never yet was couched
66    33|         gained admission by the spear.~From combat cease, upon
67    33|       valiant monarch couch his spear,~And in his foes' despite
68    33|   praise deserves, since by his spear,~But more by care and skill,
69    33|      unhorsed, but by a woman's spear.~ ~ LXXII~"Now what of Roland'
70    35|      prove our prowess with the spear:~You shall do by me, if
71    35|         the rowels, couched her spear,~And rode to meet the furious
72    35|        you so desire to break a spear."~ ~ LXXVIII~Discoursing
73    36|    Bradamant couched her golden spear again,~And yet again the
74    36|         do him outrage with the spear.~ ~ XXXVIII~Void of effect, '
75    36|          And plants so well the spear, that she, astound,~Fell
76    37|        his breastplate with the spear.~The bitter tidings to the
77    37|         serpent, by the pointed spear pinned down,~Fixes his teeth
78    37|        in the rest her puissant spear,~Or baring that good sword,
79    38|      the Roman empire rests the spear,~Though I misrate not those
80    39|     upon the rest;~But them her spear reduced to other pass.~All
81    39|        champaign by that golden spear?~Or reckon every head Marphisa
82    39|        to the sea resorts, whom spear~Or hatchet, brandished close
83    40|      assailants scaling-ladder, spear,~And naval stores, and every
84    40|   proved himself with sword and spear;~And said, he found himself
85    40|         saw the Child without a spear,~He flang is own far from
86    42|       more assails her with the spear;~But is resolved to plague
87    43|     such a blow;~Nor lance, nor spear, I deem, so sorely smite.~
88    44|    Africk's monarch couched the spear,~And one the cause of royal
89    44|       tell his prowess with the spear."~Meanwhile, the noble and
90    44|       and turns; then rests his spear;~And, as he puts his courser
91    45|        killed by young Rogero's spear;~Which through his shoulders,
92    45|    weened such force was in the spear,~Nor that it was by necromancy
93    45|        excel;~And with whatever spear they fought, those two~Believed
94    46|         the shield his levelled spear~Rogero guides, and that
95    46|       from adamantine rock,~The spear would pierce the paynim'
