"Take it not thence," to him Zerbino cried, "Nor think to make it thine without a fight:
If so thou tookest Hector's arms of pride, By theft thou hadst them, rather than by right."

Well matched in soul and valour, either knight.
Already echoed are a thousand blows;
Nor yet well entered are the encountering foes.
