Canto

 1     1|        thine own.~And this good helm will fitly be bestowed~Where (
 2     1|   monarch stayed.~He donned his helm (his other arms he wears),~
 3     3|         Of hawberk, shield, and helm, were small protection:~
 4     5|        ere he rose, unlaced the helm he wore:~But he for mercy
 5     8|        in his stead, the vacant helm to guide,~Such honor did
 6    11|     deal the foe his death, his helm untied,~So that the warrior'
 7    12|        scheme o'erthrew.~ ~ XXX~Helm on the head and corselet
 8    12|          What time he Argalia's helm in vain~Sought in the brook;
 9    12|          As if, did I to wear a helm delight,~You would not be
10    12|       by vow am tied~To wear no helm, and thus my promise quite;~
11    12|     What other arms, beside his helm, he wore;~And if I still
12    12|      now see~If you can take my helm, or I have might~To take
13    12|       She, fond of novelty, the helm untied~Designs to take;
14    12|       and spurred her mare:~The helm this while had dropt, but
15    14|         the Philistine,~Crushed helm and shield; and often side
16    15|         on his road.~ ~ LXI~Him helm and shield he gives alike
17    15|      chin, which lopt away both helm and head:~Nor lights the
18    16|      warrior, rear~The knightly helm and buckler at his side;~
19    16|         such might,~That he his helm divided from the crest;~
20    16|     leaves a corslet whole,~Nor helm unbroken, where his sword
21    17|        With corslet, plate, and helm of belted knight.~ ~ LXXXI~
22    17|         span,~Or place upon his helm the scorned crest.~But of
23    18| Balastro slain,~That Finaduro's helm has cleft in twain.~ ~ XLVI~
24    21|         for nought~Was there of helm, the warrior to defend.~
25    23|       the cavalier~Had from the helm uncased his head to view;~
26    23|      failed indeed his tempered helm to bore,~But such a shock
27    23|       as he pursued.~Himself of helm or shield one dispossest;~
28    23|         me! I apart~Will lay me helm, that in all points thy
29    23|   either mighty blow,~Where the helm yields a passage to the
30    24|        the ground;~And next his helm; but not that head-piece
31    24|     cleft it through.~No Trojan helm defends the wretched horse,~
32    26|        with your good arms this helm and shield;~And hope, if
33    26|      plate and shell.~To pieces helm and solid corslet goes,~
34    26|    knight.~Against the tempered helm that pagan wore~Sounded
35    26|         the cheeks his tempered helm would sheer.~The Child,
36    27|     passing-valiant queen:~With helm on head, where, mid the
37    29|   ercome by wine,~Which neither helm, nor mail, nor shield withstand,~
38    30|    though crowned~With Hector's helm, the enchantment had been
39    35|         His shield unbraced and helm and mail unbound,~He flung
40    36|        bold son thou saw'st, of helm bereft,~Amid a thousand
41    36|       fares,~And on her gallant helm a phoenix wears.~ ~ XVIII~
42    36|       such guise,~Nigh half her helm was buried in the ground:~
43    37|         pair,~In imitation, his helm, plate, and chain,~And shield,
44    38|    Rogero's charmed sword~Cleft helm and hauberk in its greedy
45    40|       The master, seated at the helm, his brow~Raised towards
46    41|        waves snapt and bore the helm away.~To lower, or ease
47    41|        and main,~It crushed the helm and stupefied the brain.~ ~
48    41|      Atop and on both sides his helm has broke:~Fallen is his
49    42|     VIII~Scaped, bleeding, with helm loosened form his head,~
50    42|      bust.~ ~ IX~Loosed was the helm, the neck without its band:~
51    42|      corslet thrills,~And solid helm; then needs the approaching
52    45|      Sparks now his shield, now helm, now cuirass scatter,~While
53    45|      loosed his armour, nor his helm untied:~On a small hackney,
54    46| unpushed, to ground again.~With helm on head, and with his faulchion
55    46|      And from Rogero's head the helm withdrew;~And to Marphisa, "
56    46|        side;~Nor the accustomed helm his temples prest.~For on
57    46|       outright~Lays at Rogero's helm with all his might.~ ~ CXXII~
