   In all the mid-earth seas was left no road
   Wherein the pagan his bold head untwines,
   Spred was the huge armado wide and broad,
   From Venice, Genes, and towns which them confines. Edward Fairfax, b. i. stanza 79.

   So by a roaring tempest on the flood,
   A whole armado of collected sail
   Is scatter’d and disjoin’d from fellowship. William Shakespeare, King John.

   He in himself did whole armados bring:
   Him aged seamen might their master call,
   And choose for general, were he not their king. Dryden.
