Canto

 1     1|      churl to win the cloth of red.~But not from cruel snake
 2     1|       dyed his cheek so deep a red,~And if he rued his fall,
 3     2|  sidelong glance and eyes more red than fire,~Then either falls
 4     2|     where he heats,~And Jove's red thunders on his anvil beats.~ ~
 5     3|       smooth and lucid, and as red as flame.~So that although
 6     4| combined,~Whose sleight passed red for yellow, black for white:~
 7     4|      new dawn, with streaks of red and white,~Broke in the
 8     6|   descants sing.~ ~  XXII~Amid red roses and white lilies there,~
 9     6|        with a kindling visage, red with shame,~Thanked the
10     7| emerald green of hue, and ruby red.~Mounted, but not on palfrey,
11     7|      by her art,~With one foot red, black every other part.~ ~
12     7|  sprite:~In its close cover of red sendal hung,~This at his
13     8|       Then flushed with honest red, all over glows.~ ~ XLVIII~
14     8|       plain,~Creeps 'twixt the Red and the Atlantic shore,~
15     8|    hand had tinged with native red;~And those two stars of
16     8|     ancient bearing, quartered red and white.~And in its place
17    10|      Moorish blood to paint it red."~ ~ XC~What time Rogero
18    11|  different from those robes of red, or blue,~Green, yellow,
19    11|      guides.~ ~ XLIII~This the red sea with reason would be
20    11|      between white flowers and red;~And, the shaft tempered,
21    12|  scattering yellow flowers and red,~Aurora stained the heavens
22    12| emprize and vain.~The road ran red, ensanguined by his brand,~
23    13|   Hyperborean snows to billows red;~From Ind to hills, which
24    14|   golden acorns so,~And so the red and yellow truncheon broke,~
25    15|     ditch with human blood was red.~ ~ LI~Caligorant was standing
26    15|     hair defiled with gore and red,~Springs in a moment on
27    16|       appear~Where Sir Rinaldo red Fusberta swings.~Nor tempered
28    16|        of vapour see,~From the red flames which wander up and
29    17| pervious to the tread,~Seeking red deer, goat, fallow-buck,
30    17|    jousters yellow flowers and red;~While these, as loud the
31    17|      burning heart, and visage red with shame,~He thinks the
32    18|     his brother's coming waxes red,~Surmising well he of his
33    18| spring-tide, yellow, blue, and red,~Finds itself, nor at concert
34    18|   coming) how thou keep'st the red and white,~For thou, save
35    18| paternal quartering, white and red.~ ~ CL~"Have thou no hope
36    18|       the quartering white and red,~With visage bathed in many
37    20|     arms he wore had glowed as red.~ ~  CXXXI~He mounts, and
38    22|        him, together hied:~But red with shame, are to the encounter
39    23|         Aurora stains with dye~Red, white, and yellow, the
40    24|       ground about him dyed so red,~That he, had I made little
41    24|      silver cloth, with ribbon red of hue;~A hand I often feel
42    25|   desire; became~Now pale, now red; nor longer self-controlled,~
43    25|        slept till -- white~And red -- a rain of flowers the
44    26|    Hippalca, with her eyes yet red and wet~From her long weeping,
45    27|  overspread the plain.~ ~ XXXV~Red blushed the blessed angel,
46    27|        Two costly vests -- one red, one green -- she wore;~
47    33|   Which you see painted azure, red, and white.~He when to Pharamond (
48    33|       broad domains,~Which the Red Sea's extremest waters lave.~
49    34|     despite, supplied;~For the red blood should issue from
50    34|      verdant brake,~Azure, and red, and yellow, green and white.~
51    40|        woe,~How rivers may run red with human blood,~In suchlike
52    41|    life-blood dyes the shingle red.~ ~ CII~Come to himself,
53    42|      goes;~The field about him red with blood appears,~His
54    42|        yoke the stranger wore;~Red flames upon his yellow shield
55    42|    herbage, yellow, green, and red.~Rinaldo to the liquid crystal
56    43|    rich flowers, and paints it red and white;~When viewing
57    43|    into cup and charger, blue, red, green,~And countless cloths
58    43| evermore~His eyes suffused and red with weeping shows.~Nor
59    45|       From the wide champaign, red with Grecian gore,~Bears
60    46|    Rogero flank and thigh dyed red beheld,~And other wounds;
61    46|        from a font,~Streams of red blood the crimsoned herbage
