 1     4|          the mountain's foot the cleft espy,~With steps by which
 2     6|     breast,~Of that foul race he cleft; since no one steeled~In
 3     9|          at his head so well, he cleft it through;~And to the neck
 4    10|       the first on white~Shows a cleft mount; a palm the second
 5    13|       which from nose to ear~Had cleft his jaw: when he did so
 6    14|         gives, and tumbles dead;~Cleft downwards, a full palm from
 7    14|      CXXV~Lewis the Provencal is cleft in two;~Arnold of Thoulouse
 8    14|      alarm.~One paynim's head he cleft, and other's breast,~Who
 9    15|       banks, which stout Alcides cleft in two,~And in the manner
10    16|      divided from the bust:~This cleft across, and that behold
11    16| matchless was his force,~Zerbino cleft the rider and his horse.~ ~
12    17|      coat as well,~The sword had cleft the thigh on which it fell.~ ~
13    17|        Who has the foe's already cleft and broke~In many parts,
14    18|        other members, maimed and cleft.~ ~ XXI~He from the square
15    18|         That Finaduro's helm has cleft in twain.~ ~ XLVI~The first
16    18|       shoulder him Zumara's lord~Cleft to the fork, with his descending
17    18|           and hapless Gardo nigh~Cleft to the teeth; at him, as
18    18|       blade,~And from that other cleft: another sank,~Short of
19    18|       which sheathed the breast~(Cleft in three places) showed
20    19|         And other in such manner cleft the maid,~That breast, and
21    19|         overtook the wretch, and cleft (before~He the mid square
22    23|          smote, and pierced, and cleft, as he pursued.~Himself
23    23|        faulchion bright;~ ~ CXXX~Cleft through the writing; and
24    24|     opened either iron vest;~And cleft whate'er it swept in its
25    24|      biting faulchion would have cleft his head.~The king, without
26    24|         the shield outright,~And cleft from top to bottom equally;~
27    24|         him across the head, and cleft it through.~No Trojan helm
28    26|         bust.~He often at a blow cleft five and more;~And -- but
29    26|        that Tartar crowned;~And, cleft like stalk, his head on
30    30|      could plant, his shield was cleft in twain;~Beneath, his cuirass
31    30|     Which now you cast away, and cleft before;~Nor can you more
32    30|     sword would fall.~ ~ LXII~If cleft his vizor through the midst; '
33    36|          head from his shoulders cleft,~A shipboard, on a plank?
34    38|     young Rogero's charmed sword~Cleft helm and hauberk in its
35    39|          by her horrid sword, or cleft?~ ~ XIV~As when benigner
36    41|        From head to belly he had cleft him clean.~ ~ LXXXV~No more
37    41|          to the saddle-tree have cleft him clean:~But the good
38    41|      broke by that fell blow~And cleft; and with the solid iron
39    42|        blood appears,~His helmet cleft as by a hatchet's blows;~
40    42|        by that destructive brand~Cleft even to his nose, between
41    43|          visage stain~When he so cleft beholds their comrade's
42    44|           and now at other made;~Cleft bodies, and made hearts
43    46|         his descending faulchion cleft in twain.~ ~ XCII~He is
