10     5|      His visage, aye within his helmet pent:~And that the very

13     6|         his brows with covering helmet dressed,~Or fought, secured
14    11|        The lovely visage of its helmet bare;~Towards whom, to deal
15    12|      And to a beech hung up the helmet good,~And nigh as quickly
16    12|      upon the warrior play:~The helmet she took down with this

26    14|       this end alone, were made~Helmet and shield as well as trenchant
27    16|         up his host, himself in helmet gay,~And sheathing all his
28    16|         loathed shield, quiver, helmet, sword and lance;~Destined
29    17|      gallant steed.~Both at the helmet, where it locks, take sight,~
30    17|     Whom they of cuirass and of helmet bare,~And leave in simple
31    18|   Though of good temper was his helmet bright.~As well the others

33    18|       in fight,~First lower the helmet's vizor, next the spear,~
34    18|      Possest, as well as either helmet bright,~Marphisa, when she

41    25|         her by chance without a helmet found.~And she was fain
42    26|      without pause, each trusty helmet pared~With his good blade,
43    26|     Frontino's crupper made~The helmet and the shell of iron smite,~
44    26|      born,~Or Mandricardo other helmet worn.~ ~ CXXVII~Rodomont,
