 2     3|     neighbouring Florentine for gold:~ ~ XXXVI~"And trust a noble
 3     3|         same bounds, whom papal gold shall gain,~Who shall from
 4     5|        were set~Fair stripes of gold upon a snowy ground,~My
 5     6|       sky,~And all appears like gold from top to ground.~Here
 6     6|      divines:~For me, I deem it gold because it shines.~ ~ LX~
 7     6|      wall appeared like shining gold I said,~Two youthful dames,
 8     6|     costly weed,~Broidered with gold, and jewels bright to view.~
 9     6|         the panoply)~In arms of gold: but I awhile delay~Till
10     7|  tresses; to the eye~Not yellow gold with brighter lustre glows.~
11     7|     taught,~For him in silk and gold Alcina wrought.~ ~ LIV~About
12     8|       armour, and that spear~Of gold, which whensoe'er at tilt
13     8|     Melissa found this spear of gold,~Which now Alcina's magic
14     8|    rapine some,~These bought by gold, and those by flattery:~
15    10|      plumage, and her scales of gold,~Assails it not where prompt
16    11|         never silk so choice or gold so fine~Did the industrious
17    12|   pricking, enters at a gate of gold.~Nor Brigliador is far behind
18    12|      seen adorned with silk and gold;~Nor of partition aught
19    13|  bartered to a merchant for his gold;~By whom I to the sultan
20    13|         had through the door~Of gold, enticed into the enchanted
21    13|         tin by silver, brass by gold, as Corn -~Poppy beside
22    14| Agramant the crown and staff of gold,~Once Pinador's, had given
23    14|        he wore,~Glittering with gold and jewels, -- costly gear,~
24    14|        hue~Like silver and like gold, and black and brown;~Part
25    14|      every statue upon earth in gold.~ ~ CI~Lamenting may be
26    15|        to the flower-de-luce of gold;~I see prepared to enter
27    15|       Some theirs with cloth of gold and scarlet dight.~He scarce
28    15|         and with rowels made of gold;~Which ('twas believed)
29    16|          in gorgeous gear,~With gold embroidered, and with azure
30    17|        might free her, by arms, gold, or prayer.~ ~ LXV~"Together
31    17|      powdered o'er~With jewels, gold, and pearls in rich device,~
32    18|     With the enchanted lance of gold in hand,~Which at the first
33    18|      face.~Crisp hair he had of gold, and jet-black eyes:~And
34    20|   jewels and of weighty sums of gold~Spoiling their households
35    23|      subtle toil; and with fine gold o'erlaid~A piece of silk
36    25|       Who, flourished o'er with gold, wore plate and chain,~And
37    26|        convoy go,~Bearing vest, gold, and other costly gear.~
38    31|        edged about with list of gold:~Graceful and fair; although
39    32|       and with him the lance of gold,~By whose sole touch unhorsed
40    32|   dispatched a costly shield of gold,~On pact and on condition,
41    32|     hand who has that shield of gold."~Bradamant ponders much
42    32|         away,~A caul of shining gold, wherein concealed~And clustering
43    32|      arch and palace, pictures, gold,~And statues; or, as limpid
44    33|     lord who hired him with his gold:~Which double treason, without
45    33|     below the beauteous work in gold.~ ~ LIX~When with these
46    33|    their horses by her lance of gold;~And who had suffered, to
47    33|    parsley wreath, but crown of gold;~Noble Biserta next and
48    33|        cities brave,~Of men, of gold possest, and broad domains,~
49    33|       iron, there is wrought in gold.~ ~ CIV~High prized withal,
50    33|         portals and its roof of gold,~And decked, within and
51    34|       XLIX~Here sapphire, ruby, gold, and topaz glow,~Pearl,
52    34|       unhappy end in imagery~Of gold or jewelled bands he saw
53    34|     which made~Of silver, or of gold, or iron, were,~These piled
54    35| discerned that far outvied~Fine gold, whose wondrous lustre jewels
55    35|       artist uses to refine the gold~Designed by him the precious
56    37|        On earth, by Bradamant's gold lance o'erthrown;~She seems
57    38|        so high~No silver and no gold could ever buy.~ ~ III~Yet
58    38|  precious pearls and rough with gold.~ ~ LXXIX~On the other part,
59    38|         sway,~I twenty loads of gold of perfect grain~Will every
60    39|       pass.~All touched by that gold lance she overthrew;~Doubling
61    39|       like jewels on a cloth of gold;~ ~  XVIII~And, with those
62    40|         and Macrobians (rich in gold~And men are these, and those

64    42|          with their capitals of gold,~Which gemmed entablatures
65    42|      Inscribed in characters of gold is here~Lucretia Bentivoglia,
66    42|        More than because Rome's gold in that famed seat~Was weighed,
67    42|       In sable, without gems or gold arraid,~She, 'mid the brightest,
68    42|       charge did rest,~Placed a gold cup before the paladin,~
69    43|         O vile thirst~Of sordid gold! it doth not me astound~
70    43|         worth alone~Excels what gold earth's ample veins contain,~
71    43|        their friends for sordid gold?~ ~ XLIX~"With such fierce
72    43|        Knowst thou not, against gold of no avail~Is stone, or
73    43|       test:~For woman, proof to gold and silver, who,~Armed but
74    43|         should have remembered, gold and meed~Have upon every
75    43|     finds himself in need,~What gold and gems the judge had put
76    43|        that messanger a mark of gold.~The dog obeyed, and shook
77    43|        her command;~But not for gold; for him no gold can pay;~
78    43|        not for gold; for him no gold can pay;~But if I for one
