Bold Dudon had with him that iron mace, Which won him deathless fame in many a fight:
Wherewith he proved him fully of the race Of that good Danish warrior, famed for might.
That best of faulchions, which through iron case Of cuirass or of casque was wont to bite, Youthful Rogero from the scabbard snatched, And with the martial Dane his valour matched.
