 1     4|      And ran to bind her with a chain, which he,~Girt round about
 2     4|       by the conqueror with the chain he bore,~Atlantes walked,
 3     7|    intent to loose him from the chain~Wherewith he was begirt
 4     8|         virgin, ere awake, they chain:~With her, the enchanter
 5     8|         from bed, and with what chain~And plate behoved, his limbs
 6     9|        through broken plate and chain;~The other in the other
 7     9|      the duke, to whom in solid chain~Love with eternal knot had
 8    10|         O lady, worthy but that chain to wear,~With which Love'
 9    12|          or shatters, plate and chain.~Angelica alone, secure
10    13|      banquet for the crows:~Nor chain and crook for such a deed
11    14|       Trojan Hector's plate and chain~He gained, because the faulchion
12    14|     twisted Love's inextricable chain.~He knows not if in heaven
13    15|     first Caligorantes with his chain;~Next from Orrilo's trunk
14    15|      feet, were fettered by the chain:~Nor did the jealous husband
15    15|        the good Astolpho took a chain,~And with the gyve his hands
16    15|         by a strong and weighty chain~To a tough oak, whose ancient
17    16|         is fettered by a worthy chain,~Though his desire his lady
18    17|       stand, fast girded with a chain,~In open air, upon the summit
19    21|      nor ever hope to break thy chain,~Unless thou soften thy
20    22|        Rouen; and forthwith, in chain~And plate Astolpho cased,
21    22|      found fastened by a golden chain~Rogero's famous courser,
22    23|       hundred men, in plate and chain,~He, with a single staff
23    23|          opprest with plate and chain.~He entered, for repose,
24    24|        passion, well deserves a chain.~ ~ III~One here may well
25    24|        captive, or to loose his chain;~Or to remove him from before
26    24|     Alpine and through Pyrenean chain:~In every place had sought
27    25|         divides their plate and chain.~Falerina in Orgagna's garden
28    25|         damsel had unloosed the chain~From the youth's hands,
29    25|    rescue them from Bertolagi's chain)~Was first upon his feet;
30    25|       with gold, wore plate and chain,~And on green field that
31    26|        the champions' plate and chain,~They thrust or cut of spear
32    27|      hands, in Trojan plate and chain,~The good successor of King
33    28|      her neck unloosed a costly chain~That a gemmed cross and
34    28|         him, for her sake,~That chain in memory of herself to
35    30|        boots the texture of the chain,~And the well wealded metal'
36    31|      faulchions sever plate and chain.~Yet more behoves to parry
37    31|     limbs in knightly plate and chain,~When thither Falsiron,
38    32|      many sells, such plate and chain~Collected there, from cavaliers
39    33|       bind her with the griding chain,~-- Might comprehend, I
40    33|          other steeds and other chain.~So, without arms, to punish
41    35|      leave to don his plate and chain,~And vowed to take that
42    36|         he donned the plate and chain,~Those lords the former
43    37|        were paired in wedlock's chain.~ ~ XII~New trophies he
44    37| imitation, his helm, plate, and chain,~And shield, in guise of
45    40|      smote an edge on plate and chain.~Now warding off the mace,
46    41|         rated not the plate and chain~As he that these had proved:
47    41|       well the finest plate and chain,~Wherein the valiant warrior
48    41|   shoulder; nor, though twisted chain~And double plates encase
49    41|       had as tempered plate and chain~As that bold paynim lord,
50    41|      drop the brand,~But that a chain secures it to his hand.~ ~
51    42|        Love with solid bolt and chain,~We see, through violence
52    42|      but to break thy worthless chain."~ ~ LXV~So saying, suddenly
53    42|         ministers, to break the chain,~Fettered whereby he lived
54    43|     taint unsound;~But that thy chain should bind, amid the worst,~
55    46|       lay reclined in plate and chain.~A pillow of his buckler
56    46|        quick, through plate and chain,~He with more fury, with
