 2     6|     Silver and land to conquer, plate or mail~I swear not, I,
 3     8|         and with what chain~And plate behoved, his limbs all over
 4     9|       his heart, through broken plate and chain;~The other in
 5    12|   loosens, breaks, or shatters, plate and chain.~Angelica alone,
 6    14|       well-sheathed in mail and plate,~Bold Malgarine and Balinverno
 7    14|        when the Trojan Hector's plate and chain~He gained, because
 8    16|      sheathing all his limbs in plate and mail.~The fourth division
 9    17|        was bright~With corslet, plate, and helm of belted knight.~ ~
10    17|         greater surety, pierces plate and breast.~'Twixt rib and
11    17| evidence of guilt, his mail~And plate, are dragged in due dishonour
12    18|     thee."~With that she on the plate which sheathed the breast~(
13    19|         the care.~With stubborn plate and mail all over steeled,~
14    22|         forthwith, in chain~And plate Astolpho cased, and girt
15    23|     Whom from a hundred men, in plate and chain,~He, with a single
16    23|     where~The hand can grapple, plate and mail untwist.~Let none
17    23|       might wince, opprest with plate and chain.~He entered, for
18    23|          He from his limbs tore plate and mail away.~ ~ CXXXIII~
19    24|      breast,~As perfect was the plate and corslet, so~Thick was
20    24|    shield and half his helmet's plate.~ ~ LXXI~He ever wastes
21    24|       deadly blows,~To rive the plate, or penetrate the mail.~
22    25|        cuts curd, divides their plate and chain.~Falerina in Orgagna'
23    25| flourished o'er with gold, wore plate and chain,~And on green
24    26|        paper, not like stubborn plate and shell.~To pieces helm
25    26|      perfect are the champions' plate and chain,~They thrust or

28    31|     with their faulchions sever plate and chain.~Yet more behoves
29    31|         naked limbs in knightly plate and chain,~When thither
30    32|         has so many sells, such plate and chain~Collected there,
31    35|       having thence removed all plate and shell~Wherewith (as
32    35|   gained their leave to don his plate and chain,~And vowed to
33    35|         his followers bring his plate and mail;~Nor having seen
34    36|       Of Agramant he donned the plate and chain,~Those lords the
35    37|      great goodness moved, from plate and mail~Had stript their
36    37|         In imitation, his helm, plate, and chain,~And shield,
37    38|         may to battle train, in plate and mail;~And how to pass
38    38|   choice, afoot and fenced with plate and mail,~His foe with axe
39    40|      with rich array,~Or silver plate from ancient altar won.~
40    40|         rarely smote an edge on plate and chain.~Now warding off
41    41|         as he is, sans mail and plate,~Hopes in the skiff, a refuge
42    41|         So highly rated not the plate and chain~As he that these
43    41|        Becoming well the finest plate and chain,~Wherein the valiant

46    41|    furious stroke,~Which opened plate and mail; for he is charmed;~
47    45|        would prove all mail and plate;~For never any steel its
