 2     1|      hand a thicket she surveys~Gay with the flowering thorn
 3     2|   Paris-town conveys the damsel gay,~Who has engaged you in
 4     2|        line he knows the damsel gay,~Held in such open and such
 5     3|        his dominion shall unite~Gay Reggio, joined to Modena'
 6     4|         in open air;~From their gay lodgings, dames and cavaliers,~
 7     6|         with the scented laurel gay,~Cedar, and orange, full
 8     6|    conquests made, rejoiced and gay:~These, with the well-directed
 9     6|   people who without the portal gay,~Lately with brutal rage
10     7|    outer gate;~And, girded by a gay and courtly crew,~Rogero
11     7|      ivory smooth, the forehead gay and round~Fills up the space,
12     7|      that goodly squadron, in a gay~And airy bower, appointed
13     8|       hackney; drop the pinions gay,~Which poised in air the
14     8|    memory now returned his lady gay,~She rather ne'er was banished
15    10|         birds, and many colours gay,~See Alcabrun's, a valiant
16    11|          It was the hour Aurora gay before~The rising sun her
17    11|          Nor whosoever broiders gay design,~Though on his task
18    12|       he has purloined his lady gay.~Other accuses him of other
19    13| fruitful Languedoc and Provence gay)~And the true duty executes
20    14|         the following morn more gay,~It would appear they were
21    16|      was the lover of that lady gay;~But deemed to excuse himself
22    16|         host, himself in helmet gay,~And sheathing all his limbs
23    17|         XX~Then the high-street gay signs of triumph wore,~Covered
24    17|      the better sort~Upon their gay and well-trapt coursers
25    17|       joy or sorrow to his lady gay;~One, with a painted Love
26    17|       vest, with noblest tissue gay,~The Syrian king subjoined,
27    18|          crocus, rose, and lily gay~From odoriferous leaf such
28    19|       upon her wrist an armlet, gay~With costly gems, in witness
29    19|       from her arm the bracelet gay,~And bade them keep it for
30    20|     passing beauty was the lady gay,~But little pleasing was
31    22|      Loving a gentle lady and a gay,~The daughter of Marsilius,
32    22|     surcoat, with white flowers gay."~Without a word exchanged,
33    23|       ours the sense.~ ~ CVIII~"Gay plants, green herbage, rill
34    24|         but not that head-piece gay~Which whilom African Almontes
35    24|         smites upon that armour gay,~Not even a feeble dint
36    24|        and shows her blithe and gay;~So Mandricardo, in security~
37    25|         upon them by their lady gay,~Neither would in that battle
38    25|        a face, so jocund and so gay,~She could not, for her
39    25|        joyous east with colours gay;~When from her golden dwelling
40    26|         and yet with heart more gay,~The four united each captive
41    26|      wound."~ ~ LIV~To converse gay the friends themselves addrest,~
42    26|   Arrived, Rogero knew Frontino gay,~And, through that courser,
43    26|    strife; who sees that ensign gay~Rogero on his shield was
44    27|        Rogero seems a whit more gay:~Who knows the prowess of
45    28|  altered guise,~He waxed ruddy, gay, and plump in plight,~And
46    30|       Tartar's arms and buckler gay,~So bade the Moorish king,
47    31|         wends afield secure and gay,~Hoping that shame, which
48    32|      whose top she might survey~Gay champaign, wood, and, mid
49    37|     women troop to hear;~And -- gay, beyond his usage -- with
50    37| returned -- Tanacro, blithe and gay,~Opened his arms Drusilla
51    40|      stood their Nubian victors gay;~Who, shouting in his praise,
52    41|      own honour, no device more gay~Than a dim surcoat to the
53    42|       rich~That mingled in that gay quadrangle meet,~There is
54    46|     ladies of Ferrara, those of gay~Urbino's court are here;
55    46|        And make those bowers so gay with silk and gold,~No fairer
56    46|     young Rogero made a lodging gay.~The bridal ended, this
57    46|        Here the three Graces in gay vesture gowned~Assisted
58    46|        sad elegies, some verses gay~Lays lyric or heroic; singers
