This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1875 Excerpt: ...South of England, but is retained to this day in the North and in Scotland. I thought myself entitled to restore it for wepe whenever by my doing so the rhyme became perfect. In Robert Mannyng's Ilandlyng Synne, 1. 5721: Whan he hadde ful long grete, the last word has in the MS. wepte written above as a gloss (cf. Morris, Spec., II, p. 301). The scribe of our MS. (or a predecessor of his) was not so accurate. He simply substituted wepe for grete. Hence we fiud in 1. 3794 wepte (for grelte) rhyming with mette, 11. 6058 and 7258, wepe (for grete) rhyming with swele. But in 1. 9852 grete (rhyming with fete) escaped the scribe's alteration. 2546. to honge depends on y wyll, 1. 2543; see the note to 11.1925-6. 2554. me defendawnt; see note to 1. 1421. 2572. to mote y goo, cf. 7819, 11760; Guy, ed. Turnbull, 5627: Ich aujt Je loue, to moti gem; ib. 6384: Jat hors no tit J: e, to mot y go; Keinbroun, ed. Turnbull, 1033: Of Je me wondreJ, to mot y go; Guy, in the Caius MS., p. 255: Was neuer non better, to mutt i go; corrupt in Copland's Guy, S i: He shall it wit, Bo might i go. Cf. also Flor. & B1., ed. Lumby, 729: Quaji Je admiral: 'to ihc mote go, Je schulle deie togadere bo.' Cf. so mot ou go, Guy, ed. Turnb., 232 and 3556. 2582. teruyd, deserved; see note to 1. 576. 2586. wyth the, against thee; cf. note to 1. 1722. 2601. wyth couenande. On comparing 1. 4308, wyth that couenande y tchall Jie plyght; 1. 5389, wyth that couenande Icyste me here; and 1. 11565, on that couenande y schall the ylde, I find it very probable that that is to be inserted here. 2612. to seme depends on schall he; see note to 11. 1925-6. 2613. he refers to Tyrry, but in 1. 2614 to the Emperor. 2641.
