Canto

 1     1|        yield my life, or stoop my crest;~If she shall never be thy
 2     1|        make him stoop his haughty crest:~The other knight, whose
 3     1|           were borne~A shield and crest of white; in search of whom~
 4     2|      Descending from the Pyrenean crest;~And in my company a damsel
 5     2|     prison on that cliff's aerial crest?~Like the she-fox, who hears
 6     4| hippogryph. In wings and beak and crest,~Formed like his sire, as
 7     4|    descending from the mountain's crest;~And finds the hippogryph,
 8     5|          he reached that frowning crest,~To me, whom he encountered
 9     6|         human shape and feet, his crest,~Fashioned like hound, in
10     7|        court.~ ~ V~The giantess's crest and shield appear,~For ensign,
11     9|         shortly joined, he on the crest~Smote at his head so well,
12    10|            Sprang up the frowning crest impetuously,~And, at a distance,
13    10|           dog, a bear is Oxford's crest.~There, as his badge, a
14    14|   answered that he went without a crest,~And sable shield and sable
15    16|         his helm divided from the crest;~Cut front, eyes, visage,
16    17|            with a painted Love on crest or shield,~If she were cruel
17    17|       buckler, surcoat, arms, and crest;~In all Sir Gryphon's knightly
18    17|         upon his helm the scorned crest.~But of the lover, and that
19    17|           taken for the man whose crest he wears,~In dame and knight
20    22|          any joust, but vails his crest.~Knight infinite have come,
21    24|        gift"; and levelled at his crest,~Hoping to part Zerbino
22    26|           wolf, an ass's head and crest,~A carcass with long famine
23    26|          storms upon the paynim's crest;~And, could that knight
24    28|      newly built upon a hillock's crest,~A little church the Saracen
25    31|        proof, will vouch upon thy crest,~Both now and ever, as it
26    33|       vail yet more their haughty crest,~And look upon the world
27    37|         the rear it seen Rogero's crest;~Who with those two his
28    42|        when, beneath his borrowed crest,~He saw Patroclus crimsoning
29    42|    beauteous steel and clear:~For crest, a broken yoke the stranger
30    42|          wearest Cornwall's lofty crest,~No drop of wine shall pass
31    44|        his wonted wear~Exchanged, crest, surcoat and emblazoned
