The tincture red, indicated in seals and engraved figures of escutcheons by parallel vertical lines. Hence, used poetically for a red color or that which is red.(Her.)“His sev'n-fold targe a field of gules did stain In which two swords he bore; his word, “Divide and reign.”” — P. Fletcher.“Follow thy drum; With man's blood paint the ground; gules, gules.” — Shak.“Let's march to rest and set in gules, like suns.” — Beau. & Fl.
