Yet few the tempered plates or iron pins With which encounters that descending brand;
But targets, some of oak and some of skins, And quilted vest and turban's twisted band.
Lightly such drapery good Rinaldo thins, And cleaves, and bores, and shears, on either hand;
Nor better from his sword escapes the swarm, Than grass from sweeping scythe, or grain from storm.
