Courteous, and haply gifted with a breast

  As warm as either of the cousins two;

  As bold, as if his brows in steel were dressed,

  The succour which she sought he lent, and drew

  His faulchion, and against Rinaldo pressed,

  Who saw with little fear the champion true.

  Not only each to each was known by sight,

  But each had proved in arms his foeman's might.
