 1     6|   green and yellow striped the sable field:~By hazard found,
 2     8|      white.~And in its place a sable ensign shows,~Perhaps as
 3     9|    count departs, disguised in sable show,~Nor for so many friends,
 4     9|    face may grief declare,~And sable cloth, with which (a mournful
 5    10|   above her nest;~While or and sable he of Worcester wears:~Derby'
 6    13|      As well as of that goodly sable weed.~You verily arrived
 7    14|     Who weeping and attired in sable, vents,~Throughout all grieving
 8    14|      of Libicane,~Who wept the sable Dudrinasso dead.~Brunello
 9    14|      went without a crest,~And sable shield and sable surcoat
10    14|    crest,~And sable shield and sable surcoat bore.~-- And, sir, '
11    14|       Whose legs and mane were sable; he was bred~Between a Friesland
12    14|    strayed~Of him who wore the sable vest and shield.~When lo!
13    14|        find the warrior of the sable vest~Seemed not to have
14    15|         Gryphon the white, and sable Aquilant.~ ~ LXVIII~The
15    15|        his way.~Since both the sable sister and the white~Were
16    19|   passing strong,~And from its sable mouth so fiercely blew,~
17    19|       the maid.~Strange to the sable cavalier withal,~Unwont
18    21|      That bore upon a field of sable hue~A bar of vermeil tint,
19    23|     piece of silk of white and sable hue:~With this she trapt
20    27|    Marphisa speed;~Because the sable angel, who his blows~Aimed
21    27|       long furrow, filled with sable grain,~So fast the furious
22    28|      bore a burden, trapt with sable weed.~ ~ XCVI~Who that attendant
23    31|       with a lady by his side;~Sable his shield, and sable was
24    31|    side;~Sable his shield, and sable was his gear,~Whose ground
25    31|      stranger champion, of the sable weed,~With force so fell,
26    31|   armour with a different dye;~Sable was Aquilant's, white Gryphon'
27    34|      wend.~Me but too sore the sable fumes molest,~Which hither
28    34|        The fumes that from the sable pitch arose,~Not only what
29    38|      the steed he backed, with sable mane;~Two of his legs were
30    39|      Is seen a damsel, clad in sable gear.~To Brandimart in haste
31    41|    jewels was the border sown;~Sable the vest, and of one piece
32    42|       simple veil her face,~In sable, without gems or gold arraid,~
33    43| Flordelice dreamed the vest of sable grain~That she had made,
34    43|      Command to make it all of sable hue;~Now wherefore it is
35    43|         And changed to day the sable night appeared.~ ~ CLXXVI~
36    43|  sweeping wide the ground with sable weeds.~ ~ CLXXVIII~Banners
37    44|     side,~As soon as all their sable crews are out,~Are changed
38    46|     die,~About whose brows the sable band is tied,~Rejoices more
39    46|      courser wholly clothed in sable.~ ~ CII~The King of Argier
40    46|     Olivier, and his white and sable son,~Thither good Dudon
41    46|   flash and clap; and when the sable skies~Threat hail and rain,
