 2     1|        was of snowy white,~And white alike the waving plume he
 3     1|    borne~A shield and crest of white; in search of whom~Through
 4     2|      rolled its heavy billows, white with foam.~The wind, enraged
 5     4|      red for yellow, black for white:~But all his vain enchantments
 6     4|        with streaks of red and white,~Broke in the east, and
 7     6|        XXII~Amid red roses and white lilies there,~Which the
 8     6|       spotless ermine yet more white;~So lovely were the damsels,
 9     7|    just proportion bear,~And a white hand is oftentimes descried,~
10     7|   shift of finest quality,~And white, about her limbs the fay
11     7|     wrinkled was the face, and white,~And thinly clothed with
12     8|     bearing, quartered red and white.~And in its place a sable
13     9|  melted snows,~Then thundered, white with foam and flashing-spray:~
14     9|   changed blue,~Yellow, green, white and black, to crimson stain.~
15    10|        than snow more cold and white in hue:~But when she has

17    10| followers ply the oar~Till the white foam on either bank was
18    10| Richmond's Earls: the first on white~Shows a cleft mount; a palm
19    10|    ensign's field with colours white and blue.~The Earl of Buchan
20    10|        gonfalon with black and white;~With Errol's earl upon
21    10|       displayed;~By Desmond on white field a crimson bend.~Nor
22    10|    they press~About a standard white, the level down~Of lances
23    10|        to shade the hue~Of the white lily and vermillion rose,~
24    11|   streams, which falls between white flowers and red;~And, the
25    13|        gown,~On wonted journey white Aurora starts,~The paladin
26    14|        Who brethren, black and white, in shameful wise,~Have
27    14|        whom having placed~On a white jennet, he his way retraced.~ ~
28    14|     orders black and gray,~And white, bade celebrate mass-rite
29    15|      either plant;~Gryphon the white, and sable Aquilant.~ ~
30    15|        was in black and one in white,~And who had been the occasion
31    15|       the sable sister and the white~Were pleased the furious
32    17|       that cavern quarried,~As white as leaf, unstained by inky
33    17|       spear or brand,~She, the white fay, had tempered with her
34    17|      the warrior's horse, more white~Than milk, his buckler,
35    17|    every thing, -- and how, in white array,~That warrior, with
36    18|        For arms and vest, more white than virgin snow,~The coward
37    18| obtained by Gryphon, named the white,~To give him all that valiant
38    18|       thou keep'st the red and white,~For thou, save this from
39    18|        my paternal quartering, white and red.~ ~ CL~"Have thou
40    18|       of the chase.~A cheek of white, suffused with crimson grain,~
41    18|    well agnized the quartering white and red,~With visage bathed
42    19|    foot and forehead with some white were signed.~The horseman
43    19|      cheerful blaze of torches white~A royal dome ascended, with
44    20|       wooded lair.~Gryphon the white and Aquilant the black~Take
45    21|     Faith, it seems, except in white~Was mantled over in the
46    22|     the warrior bear,~Who with white flowers had purfled o'er
47    22|       I know his surcoat, with white flowers gay."~Without a

49    23|    Aurora stains with dye~Red, white, and yellow, the clear horizon,~
50    24|      wont to view~A hand, more white than alabaster, part~The
51    25|    water; and he slept till -- white~And red -- a rain of flowers
52    26|   polished, and then milk more white.~There in the stone choice
53    26|      on azure field that eagle white,~The beauteous ensign of
54    27|     was making his rich bridle white:~I of the good Frontino
55    27|  before my hair shall wax more white,~That haply on some future
56    27|     would persuade us black is white.~ ~ CXXXVI~"Because, as
57    29|        discerns not black from white,~And harms where he would
58    30|     Rogero claimed, that eagle white~Of one disastrous quarrel
