LXXII

  "Now what of Roland's and Rinaldo's might,

  Not without reason held in such renown,

  Ought you to think (she said) when thus in fight

  Ye by a female hand are overthrown?

  Say, if the buckler one of these requite,

  — Better than by a woman ye have done,

  Will ye by those redoubted warriors do?

  So think not I, nor haply think so you.
