 1     8|           XLIII~"For this the Tartar king, Sir Agrican,~Subdued
 2    14|       so passed~The barbarous Tartar king those bodies by;~And
 3    14|   with his lance in rest,~The Tartar monarch at the speaker flew,~
 4    14|    sword nor club the warlike Tartar bore,~Since, when the Trojan
 5    14|     old.~ ~ XLIV~Great is the Tartar monarch's daring, those~
 6    14|       from stain?"~ ~ LVI~The Tartar, joying in the prize possest,~
 7    14|    frames and dictates to the Tartar knight,~Which sweetly tend
 8    14|    Between the damsel and the Tartar lord,~I will not take upon
 9    23|    sell.~ ~ LXXI~This was the Tartar Mandricardo, who~In haste
10    23|     now ten days," to him the Tartar said,~"That thee I still
11    23|      And now," (exclaimed the Tartar), "for the rest!~For my
12    23|     in his heat of blood,~The Tartar little thought about his
13    23|  grasps it tight,~Nor can the Tartar more him, here or there.~
14    23|   fear;~And bore with him the Tartar cavalier.~ ~  LXXXIX~The
15    23|      choler, at his side,~The Tartar held him, grappled by the
16    23| Stordilane's daughter and the Tartar king~Laugh at the vest of
17    23|      which, without rein,~The Tartar's charger had pursued astray,~
18    24|   Rodomont is made~War on the Tartar king, and truce again,~To
19    24|   palfrey hies~From which the Tartar king had stript the rein;~
20    24|      his horse; when, lo!~The Tartar king arrives upon the mead.~
21    24|       and might,~Too much the Tartar king excelled the knight.~ ~
22    24|   either hand,~Smote full the Tartar's helmet with his brand.~ ~
23    24|       on his steed's neck the Tartar fell,~Bent by the weighty
24    24|        On the other hand, the Tartar in the fray~Such vantage
25    24|     for short season will the Tartar foe~Exulting in the ravished
26    24|       shall learn,~But to the Tartar king I now return.~ ~ XCIV~
27    24|      foe's forehead smote the Tartar knight,~He made him see,
28    24|  place~Where he was smit, the Tartar in return;~But cannot wound
29    25|  tracked the footsteps of the Tartar peer,~Till he had brought
30    26|       her palfrey speeds,~The Tartar king, and Sarzan, turn their
31    26|      weapon low;~And he, that Tartar king, renowned for force,~
32    26|     even bends.~ ~ LXXIV~That Tartar's harder weapon makes the
33    26|      Lady, you are mine," the Tartar cried,~"Save other champion
34    26|        and next assailed, the Tartar king.~So combating with
35    26|    the sword.~ ~ LXXXIII~That Tartar cursed the elements and
36    26|      prays not only with that Tartar knight~She will abandon
37    26|    the Trojan peer.~ ~ CI~The Tartar and Rogero had before~Engaged
38    26|   King Rodomont complains the Tartar knight~Has violated twice
39    26|  spout,~ ~ CXII~So, while the Tartar and Rogero rage,~And Rodomont,
40    26|   smote the morion which that Tartar crowned;~And, cleft like
41    26|    wended.~No less was by the Tartar monarch done;~Who neither
42    26|   Marphisa will not quit that Tartar, who~Will to her satisfaction

44    27|       the fray~Which with the Tartar king she had begun,~Because
45    27|  martial course.~ ~ XLIII~The Tartar king, for more perplexity,~
46    27|       in the first appear~The Tartar king and sovereign of Argier.~ ~
47    27|       too slow:~When from the Tartar's tent an angry strain~Is
48    27|     of Sericane,~And puissant Tartar, who that question stirred,~
49    27|       Is in possession of the Tartar lord;~ ~ LVI~And asks had

51    27|    while he looked not to the Tartar lord,~Found himself robbed
52    27|      strife between me and my Tartar foe:~When him I such example
53    27|     who long space~Before the Tartar, had loved Doralice,~(Who
54    27|   Avows her preference of the Tartar lord;~At which sore wondering
55    27|      end his quarrel with the Tartar, ere~He met in combat Sericana'
56    30|       Orlando by the way.~The Tartar king is by Rogero slain:~
57    30|       of Sericana~Against the Tartar king, for Durindana.~ ~
58    30|      save against himself the Tartar knight~Should wield the
59    30|     that loud sound is by the Tartar heard,~Which the proud warrior
60    30|       must ensue.~ ~ XLVI~The Tartar arms himself in haste; with
61    30|   cautious are the twain.~The Tartar's faulchion was the first
62    30|    befall)~Taken had been the Tartar king or slain;~So had that
63    30|       been vain.~So reels the Tartar, by that stroke astound,~
64    30|     in his stirrups stood the Tartar lord,~And aiming at his
65    30|   shears outright,~And in the Tartar's side inflicts a wound:~
66    30|   bored;~So that parforce the Tartar must forego~His every title
67    30|   better arm, first smote his Tartar foe.~ ~ LXVI~Smit was the
68    30|     such care:~To his bed the Tartar's arms and buckler gay,~
69    30|   gored~Erewhile in fight the Tartar monarch's sword.~ ~ LXXXVII~
70    31|      Between Gradasso and the Tartar peer,~For Roland's faulchion;
