"Forsooth ye should serve well the guests and bear to the lords good cheer and let me bring the tidings to my dear masters." Those that sprang towards him on the steps to show their prowess, he dealt so heavy a sword-stroke, that for fear they must needs stand further back. His mighty strength wrought mickle wonders. A comparative study of them will be found in the works of Wilmanns and Boer.
Four Armies, Friedrich's, Henri's, Daun's, Zweibruck's, all within sword-stroke of each other, the universal Gazetteer world is on tiptoe.

He would have dispatched him with a second blow, but Hagen threw himself over Gunthers body and received the sword-stroke on his own head. So well tempered was his helm that the blade flew in flinders, shivered to the handle.
Mustapha Pacha, the treasurer and captain of the galley, advanced in person to confront the terrible Christians, and a sword-stroke from Alexander shattered the hand that held the curved sabre, a second stretched the Moslem on the deck.
