49    27|      Rodomont" were read;~That "Mandricardo and Marphisa" run:~Next,
50    27|      Argier.~ ~ XLVI~Rogero and Mandricardo for that play~Were next;
51    27|      that faulchion bright;~And Mandricardo said that he had done~Fierce
52    27|  revenge, some little space.~So Mandricardo on himself relies~Rogero
53    27|        Hector's goodly blade~To Mandricardo, solely for that day,~Until
54    27|       all unsound~And weak King Mandricardo's judgment ween;~But he,
55    27|    least it ought."~ ~ CIX~Kind Mandricardo on his feet once more,~Exclaims, "
56    27|     upon that plea~No more with Mandricardo could avail,~And made the
57    27|         that on listed plain~At Mandricardo he must couch the spear,~
58    27|     less endued~With worth than Mandricardo I appear;~Nor for your conduct
59    30|         pursue the cavalier.~To Mandricardo my fair argument~It now
60    30|         ascended.~ ~ XVIII~King Mandricardo, proud that in his right~
61    30|    royal Agramant to read)~Were Mandricardo or Rogero slain;~A thing
62    30|     word could be repealed;~Yet Mandricardo and the Child besought~That
63    30|     lover's anger to allay;~And Mandricardo, sucking from her eyes~Those
64    30|     more terrible than e'er.~As Mandricardo's head he aims his blade,~
65    30|        as in fell despite~Raged Mandricardo, rallying from that blow,~
66    30|         of crimson stain;~Hence Mandricardo's arm did vigour lack,~And
67    30|       not, but spurs amain,~And Mandricardo smites in the right side.~
68    30|        part in fury past~Whence Mandricardo had his buckler cast.~ ~

74    32|       he said~How, matched with Mandricardo, strove that lord,~And layed
75    38|  henceforth be paid.~Blotted is Mandricardo from our host;~Martial Gradasso

77    41|     crost,~Erewhile, by haughty Mandricardo lost.~ ~ XCII~Great vantage
