Canto

 1     1|        the morion lost.~But the casque lies so bedded in the sands,~'
 2     1|         a helmet bore:~The very casque, which in the river's bed~
 3     1|       prize were good Orlando's casque;~Rinaldo's such, or yet
 4     5|      when, through his uplifted casque displaid,~Features, well
 5     5|      prayer,~Lifted to covering casque, and bared to view~What
 6     7|     pressed;~For underneath the casque, with stedfast aim, ~So
 7    11|       Upon the lesser warrior's casque, and by~The mighty blow
 8    11|         infinite.~He doffed his casque, with festive welcome pressed~
 9    12|     wore not, nor would wear, a casque.~ ~ XXXI~Till he had that
10    12|         without, till that fine casque I win~Worn by Orlando, Charles'
11    12|         only wouldst forego the casque, but give~The knight thine
12    12|     with ire,~Missing the noble casque, is all on fire:~ ~ LV~And
13    12|         LXI~When in this goodly casque he was arrayed,~He deemed
14    12|    having robbed Orlando of his casque.~ ~ LXV~By what appeared
15    17|       Seleucia at Sir Gryphon's casque,~At the same time, so fell
16    18|   Retain her hand, upraised the casque she wore,~And him, advanced,
17    18|         in vain upon Mambrino's casque.~ ~ CLII~Rinaldo smiled,
18    23|       placed this morion:~Which casque, with all the other arms
19    26|       rare~Without her corslet, casque and all the rest,~-- At
20    26|   Vainly Sir Vivian's spear the casque offends;~Nor throws that
21    26| descending pest~Rodomont's iron casque will ill withstand;~That
22    26|        will ill withstand;~That casque which Babel's king bade
23    29|         stood:~Here -- save his casque was open -- Ulien's son~
24    30|      And aiming at his foeman's casque, believed~He with the stroke
25    32|         after puts her polished casque away,~A caul of shining
26    33|        Him oft he reached where casque and coat confined,~And often
27    38|        no shame.~ ~ LXXVIII~The casque that he from Mandricardo
28    38|      with such travel sore,~The casque that (as in loftier strain
29    38|         helmet, erst Mambrino's casque;~To carry which is Danish
30    39|       such thunder~Broke on the casque, that Dudon prest the shore:~
31    40|      iron case~Of cuirass or of casque was wont to bite,~Youthful
32    41|         Already had unlaced the casque before,~And with his dagger
