Rustle

He is coming; I hear his straw rustle.

Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk.

When the noise of a torrent, the rustle of a wood, the song of birds, or the play of lambs, had power to fill the attention, and suspend all perception of the course of time.

Rusty

[Hector,] in this dull and long-continued truce, Is rusty grown.

The rusty little schooners that bring firewood from the British provinces.

Ruth

To stir up gentle ruth, Both for her noble blood, and for her tender youth.

It had been hard this ruth for to see.

With wretched miseries and woeful ruth.

Ruthless

Their rage the hostile bands restrain, All but the ruthless monarch of the main.

Rutilant

Parchments . . . colored with this rutilant mixture.

Rutter

Such a regiment of rutters Never defied men braver.

Ryot

The Indian ryot and the Egyptian fellah work for less pay than any other laborers in the world.
