Canto

 1     4|            Rinaldo true~Forthwith his armour and Bayardo found,~And landed
 2     4|            Rinaldo took his steed and armour bright:~A squire that abbey
 3     6|                at speed, in ponderous armour pent.~ ~ XXVI~Meanwhile
 4     7|               Of finest metal was her armour bright,~With gems of many
 5     7|            time, till he~Was with his armour, many days before~Laid by,
 6     8|            done~Save she restored his armour, and that spear~Of gold,
 7     8|              palace graced,~And other armour of the warrior bold,~Of
 8    12|               to wheel;~And where the armour thinnest was, and where~
 9    14|               crowd of cavaliers that armour bore:~And these the paynim
10    16|             went before,~For captain, armour, and for martial lore.~ ~
11    17|    accompanied his might~With perfect armour and a gallant steed.~Both
12    17|         highway stayed.~He doffed his armour all, and morion,~And had
13    17|            nor, upon better view,~His armour nor his wonted clothes he
14    18|              thus assay,~And took his armour and pursued his beat;~But
15    18|             issued, horse and man,~It armour, and along the river wended,~
16    18|         warrior less, with right,~The armour, guerdon of this final course~
17    18|               here she found anew her armour good.~ ~ CX~You shall take
18    18|               right~Thou wouldst this armour, not thine own, present~
19    18| notwithstanding I to Gryphon gave~The armour, I so well his nature know,~
20    20|           them wend.~ ~ CX~In shining armour and in fair array,~The warrior
21    22|         dispossest~Of courser, and of armour, and of vest.~ ~ LII~"Four
22    23|               at her best, Astolpho's armour tied,~As best he might,
23    23|             lance.~ ~ LIX~The shining armour which the chief had rent~
24    23|           LXXXVIII~As falls a sack of armour, with such sound~Tumbled
25    24|             while he smites upon that armour gay,~Not even a feeble dint
26    25|               too range the world, in armour sheen,~Seeking adventure
27    25|             knowing where the suit of armour lies~My sister doffed, I
28    25|              thither go at night;~Her armour and her steed to boot I
29    26|           more tranquil, watched with armour on;~When unaccompanied they
30    26|              Give me," she cried, "my armour and my steed."~And readily
31    27|               wore the remnant of her armour sheen;~Nor without martial
32    30|              people close,~Appears in armour and his bugle blows.~ ~
33    30|      faulchion stayed:~It reached his armour (like soft wax, the shell~
34    31|             that stain~Their virtuous armour with a different dye;~Sable
35    31|            saw on earth his sword and armour strewed,~Doffed by that
36    31|              stay.~The paynim king in armour was arrayed,~And so the
37    35|           known.~So that, of trophied armour or of weed~Of those so many,
38    35|           your lance o'erthrown,~Your armour should the blest oblation
39    35|           fall,~I will your horse and armour have (she cried),~And taking
40    35|            therefore will thy forfeit armour tear,~Nor shall thy name
41    35|           bereft.~ ~ LV~Stript of his armour and afoot, did part~That
42    36|          night).~Hearing Rogero is in armour drest,~Fearing to lose the
43    36|             With them Rogero goes, in armour cased,~Balked of the battle
44    36|               on the foe~To wear this armour, and I will deplore~Your
45    37|               Stript ignominiously of armour, glaive,~And steed, their
46    40|            dear.~Good horses and good armour seeks the knight~And goodly
47    40|               LX~What could be had of armour, rusted o'er~And brown with
48    41|           trenchant sword~And gallant armour of his youthful lord;~ ~
49    41|          never streamed~Since he that armour wore; new rage and pain~
50    41|          shorn;~But this forbids that armour, bright of show,~By Vulcan
51    45|           With the emperor's licence, armour to prepare,~And steeds meanwhile
52    45|             to repose;~Nor loosed his armour, nor his helm untied:~On
53    46|             deeds he did, in cheating armour mailed.~Departing thence,
54    46|              His bruised and battered armour was in shew.~So that they
55    46|           begin~To try where either's armour is most thin.~ ~ CXIX~Rodomont
56    46|           more than once the paynim's armour bored.~ ~ CXXI~When Rodomont
