 1     8|       true~And faithful comrade Brandimart, whom he~So dearly cherished,
 2     8|        would Orlando's faithful Brandimart,~Who loved him as himself,
 3    12|         trouble sore,~Gradasso, Brandimart, and him of Spain,~Ferrau,
 4    22|    Iroldo, Bradamant,~Prasildo, Brandimart, and many more,~All, cheated
 5    24|   sought that place.~ ~ LIV~Her Brandimart had left disconsolate~Without
 6    24|       her front:~She would move Brandimart to this emprize;~And, should
 7    24|       in vain,~Flordelice after Brandimart did fare;~And widely wandered
 8    27|       Aymon's son,~Had faithful Brandimart thrown up the game,~Charles
 9    27|        alive so fierce a flame.~Brandimart does his best, and when '
10    29|   showed.~'Tis she that, of her Brandimart in chase,~(If you remember,
11    29|     vainly sought on every side~Brandimart's bearing, since nor iron
12    31|        like chaff, in disarray.~Brandimart wages war, for Roland's
13    31|     receive,~Nought unattempted Brandimart will leave."~ ~ XLVII~Fair
14    31|      dame;~That his own self to Brandimart more dear:~Who in pursuit
15    31|       suspicion entertain.~Here Brandimart by Flordelice was taught~
16    31|       stream immersed.~ ~  LXIV~Brandimart, who the Country loves as
17    31|   squires as well conveyed;~And Brandimart no sooner is at hand~Than
18    31|        have no merit."~ ~ LXVII~Brandimart, at the paynim's proud discourse,~
19    31|    above the waves he rose,~And Brandimart assailed on safer ground.~
20    31|       assailed on safer ground.~Brandimart, whirling with the current,
21    31|       spent,~When taken she her Brandimart espied,~Although to see
22    35|         shake in fiercest heat.~Brandimart many deem the cavalier;~
23    38|        I speak of the redoubted Brandimart,~Whose feats no less than
24    39|    prisoners led,~Were faithful Brandimart and Sansonet,~With more;
25    39|     prisoners down:~Him thither Brandimart and Olivier,~Sansonet and
26    39|      nigh.~ ~ XXXVIII~Astolpho, Brandimart, the Danish knight,~Hastening
27    39|          clad in sable gear.~To Brandimart in haste that lady goes,~
28    39|      who the deed had done,~How Brandimart, with many cavaliers,~Was
29    39|        a long round~To seek his Brandimart that lord had made,~By sea,
30    39|   Monodantes' court~With little Brandimart had taken flight,~And reared
31    39|      that elder, by what chance~Brandimart had to Africk passed from
32    39|         s band, they hear;~That Brandimart is with him in the emprize,~
33    39|      man in front;~And cried to Brandimart, "Behold the count!"~ ~
34    39|        his courser sprang: bold Brandimart,~Olivier, Sansonet and Dudon
35    39|          while under~His bosom, Brandimart girt Roland sore~With sinewy
36    39|      the ground;~Yet loosed not Brandimart, who with more might~And
37    39|       Meanwhile Bardino told to Brandimart,~How Monodantes, his good
38    39|    detest~A wandering life; and Brandimart again~Replies, through all
39    40|          XXI~Orlando, Oliviero, Brandimart,~And he, in air so daring
40    40|    mighty space below.~ ~ XXIII~Brandimart to the walls a ladder brought,~
41    40|     such weight it would abide.~Brandimart only, on the foes intent,~
42    40|    assailing horde;~And, saving Brandimart, the Christians all~Into
43    40|       love and prize the gentle Brandimart,~Hearing, should they defy
44    40|     Bear succour to the gallant Brandimart.~ ~ XXXI~Even with that
45    40|       in the fight~The faithful Brandimart and Olivier:~Well has he
46    41|    Christ is he.~Meanwhile bold Brandimart, and Olivier,~And Roland
47    41|        to his waist he tied:~To Brandimart Orlando gave the steed:~
48    41|     will be drest.~ ~ XXXI~Bold Brandimart designed upon the day~Of
49    41|      torment evermore~Of losing Brandimart the dame pursued.~She him
50    41|         His kinsman Olivier and Brandimart;~Who on the side which fronts
51    41|     there and here.~The valiant Brandimart resorts that eve~Thitherward,
52    41|   paltriest post."~ ~ XLII~Thus Brandimart to Afick's cavalier;~And
53    41|      Meanwhile Orlando and bold Brandimart,~With that good knight,
54    41|     foaming coursers gall.~Bold Brandimart unhorsed in the career~Sobrino;
55    41|   without a steed.~ ~ LXXII~Now Brandimart, that upon earth descried~
56    41|    cared,~-- Nor can return; so Brandimart aye plies,~And presses Sericana'
57    41|       and sore~Should bring Sir Brandimart, at him he flies:~For him
58    41|         in force.~ ~ LXXIX~Bold Brandimart, who guides Frontino's rein,~
59    41|         pride,~Desirous valiant Brandimart to aid,~Even as he was,
60    41|    faulchion keen.~When entered Brandimart sees Brava's peer,~Who snatched
61    41|   hammered, and by Hector worn.~Brandimart sees his risque, and at
62    41|        his courser move.~ ~ XCI~Brandimart has found out the royal
63    41|       His at a venture took Sir Brandimart,~As he could have in haste
64    41|         With the left hand, him Brandimart had caught;~Already had
65    41|      make the Moorish lord;~For Brandimart as well had reft his sword.~ ~
66    41| Agramant espied:~The incautious Brandimart, suspecting nought~Orlando
67    41|        cap of steel below,~Bold Brandimart, reversed upon the ground,~
68    41|      turns his eye~And sees his Brandimart upon the plain,~And in such
69    42|      and wet with tears,~To his Brandimart in haste the warrior goes;~
70    42|        the helmet, and descries~Brandimart's head by that destructive
71    42|        called to bliss above is Brandimart;~For he heaven opened to
72    42|   hardly weighed~Of slaughtered Brandimart the piteous sight;~Nor sure
73    43|      conquest won:~Dead was Sir Brandimart; and Olivier,~Dangerously
74    43|         said,~How in the battle Brandimart was slain.~Such love, such
75    43|    warriors would have made~Had Brandimart not perished; when they
76    43|             CLX~"Ah! wherefore, Brandimart, did I let thee~Without
77    43|              CLXIII~"Is this, O Brandimart, is this the reign,~Whose
78    43|    desires~As much, wherein Sir Brandimart to lay,~Steers for the lofty
79    43|         In verse, wherewith Sir Brandimart was mourned;~The mantles,
80    44|    Sobrino's fate, and death of Brandimart;~Nor less of good Rogero
