Canto

 1     1|         marvel plate or brittle mail should fly,~When anvils
 2     1|       hill:~And well it was the mail in which they dressed~Their
 3     1|         ever won with sword and mail."~This said, he spurred
 4     2|       in fight a single link of mail,~To Paris-town conveys the
 5     3|         now to him, to whom the mail~Of hawberk, shield, and
 6     6|         since no one steeled~In mail, his brows with covering
 7     6|       land to conquer, plate or mail~I swear not, I, in warlike
 8     7|     gross, long time unwont the mail to bear.~ ~ LXXVI~Next Balisarda
 9     8|     knave unfenced with arms or mail:~A better and shorter way
10    11|      shoulder, and new-cased in mail,~Left the sea-side, and
11    11|       Nor iron rind, nor double mail below;~Who, gazing on her
12    14|         force, well-sheathed in mail and plate,~Bold Malgarine
13    14|     fairy's castle shown:~Where mail, which cased the Trojan
14    14|      beam, and hurdle's twisted mail,~For different uses, at
15    15|       Orrilo and two knights in mail~Found at fierce strife:
16    16|      all his limbs in plate and mail.~The fourth division I believe
17    17|        head and bust secured in mail,~Like to a serpent, issued
18    17|       esteemed most rare;~Whose mail, impassable by spear or
19    17|     true evidence of guilt, his mail~And plate, are dragged in
20    18|      left shoulder, through his mail,~And thigh, his wind as
21    18|      taking Gryphon's horse and mail,~He to the knight had done
22    19|      faithful falchion with the mail,~And with unceasing hope
23    19|         With stubborn plate and mail all over steeled,~Ready
24    19|     pierced the cuirass and the mail below;~But first a buckler,
25    19|         temper of her corslet's mail,~The strokes aye harmless
26    23|     hand can grapple, plate and mail untwist.~Let none desire,
27    23|        his limbs tore plate and mail away.~ ~ CXXXIII~Here was
28    24|         plate, or penetrate the mail.~Nor this one gains, nor
29    27|     Sacripant neither plate nor mail attire:~Yet so in fence
30    29|          but he, her shield and mail,~That hermit, lest she from
31    29|         Which neither helm, nor mail, nor shield withstand,~That
32    30|        daylight in the stubborn mail,~That clothed the better
33    30| Enchanted corselet or enchanted mail.~ ~ LX~Whate'er that sword
34    32|     they slowly don the martial mail.~The rest remain within;
35    33|    would they wear~The knightly mail or climb the steed again;~
36    33|       by magic was the stubborn mail.~ ~ LXXXIII~Without reposing
37    35|      her goodly courser and her mail,~As an oblation to the tomb
38    35|    shield unbraced and helm and mail unbound,~He flung against
39    35|     thee.~He bids thee promptly mail and corslet dight,~And wait
40    35|   followers bring his plate and mail;~Nor having seen beneath
41    36|          Nor aught but Hector's mail the sword had stopt,~Whose
42    37|  goodness moved, from plate and mail~Had stript their upper vests,
43    38|      battle train, in plate and mail;~And how to pass the deserts,
44    38|       and fenced with plate and mail,~His foe with axe and dagger
45    41|         doublet, as he is, sans mail and plate,~Hopes in the
46    41|       combat, clad in plate and mail;~In that the profit, if
47    41|      the collar of his shirt of mail,~All else beside the flesh
48    41|    thigh it seamed,~Beneath his mail, the king of Sericane.~From
49    41|          Which opened plate and mail; for he is charmed;~And
50    42|      and swordless, through his mail,~Sore wounded in more places
51    42|      defended him no worse than mail.~ ~ XIII~Orlando lifts the
52    45|       do, not feign, a fight in mail,~And not to make of arms
53    45|        as paste would prove all mail and plate;~For never any
54    45|   damsel, nor can open plate or mail.~ ~ LXXVI~Sparks now his
55    46|        the king in other goodly mail;~Yet not like that first
