 3     2|       with strong and stubborn steel inlaid:~Though passing thick,
 4     2|   senseless with the blow,~And steel and bone, like ice, in shivers
 5     2|        this rock its towers of steel did fix,~Case-hardened in
 6     3|     twice by Vulcan's works of steel.~And so Alphonso in his

11     4|       springs;~Bright walls of steel about its summit go:~And
12     4|     not my pious care;~Take my steel buckler, this I give to
13    10|     Fair Dido, she beneath the steel had bled;~Or, haply, like
14    10|       Rogero smites,~But as on steel or rock the weapon lights.~ ~
15    11|        Which splits or shivers steel and stone outright,~And,
16    12|        vain his magic tower of steel, and vain~Alcina's art,
17    12|     plates were joined, probed steel with steel;~Nor was there
18    12|      joined, probed steel with steel;~Nor was there in the world
19    14|        that she, supplied~With steel and tinder, 'mid the paynims

21    16|       made of palm within, and steel without,~But that it pierced

23    17|        the portal, bright~With steel, his head and bust secured

27    19|        who steers.~Better than steel that man will bide the assay,~--

31    22|    Gave way before the griding steel, which sought~The arm beneath,

35    24|  abhorred~The whistling of the steel which round him flew,~Saved,
36    25|       taking off my panoply of steel;~Disarming me herself from
37    26|       reason shows~Why thus in steel their bodies they array.~"

41    30|       fell;~Nor yet its double steel the faulchion stayed:~It
42    30|  divides an iron band~And good steel cap beneath it; inches two,~
43    32|      shoot not, when by biting steel laid low.~A habit well according
44    33|       will reign,~By murderous steel will see their people fall,~
45    34|      find as clear~As polished steel, when undefiled by stain;~

54    41|        Though bound about with steel the edges are:~It splits

56    42|  Equipt with arms of beauteous steel and clear:~For crest, a
57    43|       of no avail~Is stone, or steel to hardest temper wrought?~
58    45|       and plate;~For never any steel its fury stayed;~And heavily
59    45|  cleave or bore.~She whets her steel, and into it would fain~
60    46| Enchantment, temper, nor prime steel and pure.~So here so there
