 1     1|          XI~With shield upon his arm, in knightly wise,~Belted
 2     1|      Remember, pagan, when thine arm laid low~The brother of
 3     1|        His visage propt upon his arm) to sight~Changed into senseless
 4     1|          sore~Endured in wounded arm or foot which bled;~But
 5     2|        sunny glade.~The paynim's arm rings senseless with the
 6     4|       gored.~ ~ XVII~On his left arm alone his shield he took,~
 7     5|         champion, good and true,~Arm on her side before a month
 8     6|         will the prowess of your arm assay.~ ~ LXXVIII~"We soon
 9     7|        wound;~On each once manly arm, now glittering~With the
10     8|          And thus, with his left arm extended, said:~"What, if
11     9|         it dispensed to move and arm~Germans or English, to the
12     9|    flutters still,~Made hand and arm together flinch and quail;~
13    10|          one found: the dame her arm withdrew;~She tried again,
14    11|          giant bears~Beneath his arm, his bride Rogero true~Beholds.
15    11|        half-lifeless lady in his arm,~ ~ XX~And on his shoulder
16    11|   ancient bound,~Dragged by that arm and rope he cannot tear,~
17    11|          And monstrous, thy good arm deliverance gave;~Which
18    12|          hold~Bears off upon his arm the damsel fair,~Sore pricking,
19    12|       Through air, but shoulder, arm, and severed head,~Death
20    13|        our need,~A bark was with arm'd men in ambush dight,~Under
21    13|          breast;~Another head or arm, or leg and thigh.~Whence
22    13|      breed,~Since good Orlando's arm achieved the deed.~ ~ XL~
23    13|     suffering from some stronger arm defeat;~That thou may'st
24    14|         crew~Whom good Orlando's arm had put to flight;~And some
25    14|          by the collar, hair, or arm:~And downwards from the
26    15|      marvel wrought;~For head or arm dissevered by the sword,~
27    15|      lops the fist;~And now this arm, now the other falls to
28    16|     cheek, of that the poll,~The arm of other foe his strokes
29    17|          all are by his vengeful arm laid dead?"~Thus Charlemagne,
30    17|        in safety rest.~Under his arm some wretches of our train~
31    17|          practise in that age~To arm them in this fashion of
32    18|       his guard above a thousand arm.~ ~ LX~King Norandine, girt
33    18|         we deprived of horse and arm, and we~Are hither come
34    18|     another sank,~Short of right arm or left, or pierced in flank.~ ~
35    19|    fidelity,~Unfastened from her arm the bracelet gay,~And bade
36    19|   succinct, in haughty show,~And arm, in guise of warriors, in
37    19|          Is man allowed, nor any arm to wear;~Excepting, as I
38    20|       have usurped the reign.~To arm a hand more powerful than
39    20|     matched in plain,~Who by his arm successively were slain.~ ~
40    20|          only had restrained her arm~Was the respect she to the
41    20| smothered die.~Broken is many an arm, and many a head;~And one
42    21|       Woman, while guarded by my arm (he said)~I will not thou
43    21|     prepare thyself to fight,~Or arm thee not on that old woman'
44    22|          steel, which sought~The arm beneath, by this ill fortified:~
45    24|          the knight~Smote on his arm; and next the harness rended,~
46    27|        with maimed face, breast, arm, or hand, espied,~And some
47    29|          thy faulchion and thine arm,~And prove if one can smite,
48    30|        ward,~A wound beneath his arm the king received,~Which
49    30|       stain;~Hence Mandricardo's arm did vigour lack,~And with
50    30|         for he, below~The better arm, first smote his Tartar
51    31|       firm the footing, and mine arm prove true";~Within himself
52    31|         thus unvenged by my good arm he died;~And so fall on,
53    33|        inclined,~And stunned the arm of Sericana's lord.~Him
54    35|      Aeneas not so pious, nor of arm~So strong Achilles, Hector
55    36|     unmounted mount, the unarmed arm,~And all their standards
56    36|      task; he caught,~By hand or arm, the fiercely struggling
57    36|         by spell bested;~But his arm rang astounded by the blow;~
58    36|      furious blow would his left arm have lopt;~ ~ LVII~And had
59    36|     savage fair.~Scarce his left arm can good Rogero rear;~Can
60    37|         you, than he~Prompter to arm in your defence is none;~
61    38|          hate, which nerved~Mine arm whilere, now blot from memory.~
62    39|         the side, while his lopt arm~And body stained the wave
63    40|         that Sobrino's words his arm restrain.~ ~ XXXVII~"What
64    41|       uplifted, others steer;~An arm, an unshod leg, those others
65    41|       Bold Olivier, whose better arm was freed,~And with his
66    41|       warrior's shield, his left arm bored,~And touched him slightly
67    42|        the grain),~With the left arm that gilded roof sustain.~ ~
68    43|        heavy falls man's furious arm.~Happier it were to die,
69    43|        Albeit I could not by his arm be slain.~ ~ CII~" `Because
70    44|    warrior laid;~Smote hand, and arm, and shoulder, bust, and
71    44|      knight,~Who with his single arm destroys that host;~And
72    45|      victory,~That had of either arm deprived his foe;~So the
