And conquered fruitful France some years before;

Is in possession of the Tartar lord;

LXXI
This while the fierce assailants never cease,
But sternly still maintain a
threefold
charge,
And gainst the clouds of shafts draw nigh at ease,
Under a pentise made of many a targe,
The armed towers close to the bulwarks press,
And strive to grapple with the battled marge,
And launch their bridges out, meanwhile below
With iron fronts the rams the walls down throw.
