Canto

 1     2|       lovely semblance and rich vest,~Appeared a lady of no mean
 2     5|    before; meanwhile the goodly vest~Was in the moonlight clearly
 3     6|       and shield;~Black was the vest and buckler which he bought,~
 4     9|      dull season when the leafy vest~Is stript from trembling
 5    10|         his shield the covering vest,~To dazzle with the light
 6    11|          purple, her accustomed vest,~So various in its fashion,
 7    11|     desires his ship, to find a vest~To cover her, delivered
 8    11|   Meantime bids seek for female vest and gown.~ ~ LXXIV~Now will
 9    11|       need to send in search of vest~Beyond the savage island'
10    12|       needed, viands, mare, and vest,~And had conceived the project
11    12|     such to wear were easy as a vest,~To these, so wont the burden
12    12|          LXXX~Nor safety cotton vest, nor cloths supply,~In thousand
13    13|        in their nature, gem and vest,~So I might hope Zerbino'
14    14|        squire demanded what the vest~And bearings, which the
15    14|       Of him who wore the sable vest and shield.~When lo! he
16    14|        the warrior of the sable vest~Seemed not to have the haste
17    14|       Her by her party-coloured vest he knew.~Unequal strips
18    14|          grave walk, and decent vest,~Fraud rolled her eye-balls
19    16|      some of skins,~And quilted vest and turban's twisted band.~
20    17|   costly jewels and in gorgeous vest.~ ~ XXI~Within the city
21    17|      gone, the king his goatish vest~Casts off, and folds his
22    17|       this the more~To grace, a vest, with noblest tissue gay,~
23    18|     Martano spied.~For arms and vest, more white than virgin
24    18|         who, in movement and in vest,~Appears to be a man, but
25    18|         earthly thing, the iron vest~And weapons for a day would
26    18|        here to hazard purse and vest:~Better some remnant of
27    20|       Marphisa saw, in arms and vest;~And hence she flies not
28    20|       too ill-sorted seemed her vest of pride~With her foul visage,
29    22|  courser, and of armour, and of vest.~ ~ LII~"Four puissant knights
30    22|  dismount, and strip her of her vest.~So, thus surprised, the
31    22|       nought beside I hear, nor vest nor steed.~And this my comrade,
32    22|    flowers had purfled o'er his vest.~But moved him not; and
33    22|    these, as well, the damsel's vest!~If these you covet, why
34    22|         mantle, which above her vest~She wore, concealed the
35    23|        secured between a double vest.~ ~ XLIII~Zerbino after
36    23|        know,~(Instructed of thy vest) thou art the knight:~And
37    23|     same youthful ornaments and vest,~Stript from the ill-taught
38    23|        Tartar king~Laugh at the vest of youthful show and shape,~
39    23|         off, to clean, his iron vest.~This was the homestead
40    23|     gear, in fine; and next his vest~He rent; and, in his fury,
41    24|    Having torn off the arms and vest he wore,~And cast away from
42    24|      Equally opened either iron vest;~And cleft whate'er it swept
43    24|        knows,~By ensigns and by vest, the warlike pair,~But by
44    25|         from her store a costly vest,~She spread it, and -- as
45    26|        their convoy go,~Bearing vest, gold, and other costly
46    26|         in female ornaments and vest,~Of those, which by Maganza'
47    26|       Impassable is either iron vest;~And both have hitherto
48    27|        forefather Nimrod's iron vest;~ ~ LXX~And there had they
49    27|        day when first that iron vest~Braced on her limbs the
50    29|    thousand trophies, arms, and vest,~That damsel's tomb is destined
51    29|  content to take their arms and vest:~And of those first arrived
52    29|         since nor iron case~Nor vest of his she anywhere espied,~
53    31|     usage of the pair)~One by a vest all black, and one all white,~
54    31|    prisoners' ravished arms and vest suspends;~Tells how she
55    31|        wore~A richly ornamented vest, whose ground~With trunks
56    32|     desire to die.~ ~ XLVII~The vest is of that colour which
57    34|       in air, could see~A lover vest by her barbarities.~Here
58    34|     seemed the mantle, milk the vest:~White was that ancient'
59    34|        heaps by lapfulls in his vest~The tickets that the different
60    36|       withal (for, save in iron vest,~Her seldom would you find
61    36|        Ye, well enveloped in my vest, I save,~And bear to Mount
62    37|         them who don the female vest,)~To him hath evermore been
63    37|        intention to replace her vest,~Here from that band divides
64    41|        TILL HE COMES: In gilded vest~And worthy of himself he
65    41|      the border sown;~Sable the vest, and of one piece alone.~ ~
66    41|      hand the lady wrought that vest,~Becoming well the finest
67    42|      they were in visage and in vest,~But all of equal charms
68    43|    restraint, in banquet and in vest,~And what might most a cavalier
69    43|       and foul and beggarly her vest;~Nor half her hideousness
70    43|      day~Flordelice dreamed the vest of sable grain~That she
71    43|      knight in view,~Arrayed in vest of like device and hue.~ ~
72    44| descried~A cavalier, in crimson vest, whereon~With all its stalk
73    46|      Its field -- and that same vest and ensigns wore,~As was
74    46|        unknown band in sweeping vest arraid,~With long descending
75    46|        loser to Dordona's lady, vest~And arms suspended from
