280-3. These four lines occur in Thynne's edition only, but are probably quite genuine. It is easy to see why they dropped out; viz. owing to the repetition of the word _finde_ at the end of ll. 279 and 283. This is a very common cause of such omissions. See note to l. 504. 286. _By_, with reference to. 288. _Gest_, guest; Lat. _aduena_, Æn. iv. 591. 290. 'He that fully knows the herb may safely lay it to his eye.' So in Cotgrave's Dict., s.v. _Herbe_, we find; '_L'herbe qu'on cognoist, on la doit lier à son doigt_; Prov. Those, or that, which a man knowes best, he must use most.' 305. In the margin of MSS. F. and B. is here written:--'Cauete uos, innocentes mulieres.' 315. _Swete herte_; hence E. _sweetheart_; cf. l. 326. 321. Understand _ne_ (i.e. neither) before _your love_. Cf. Æn. iv. 307, 8. 329. I have no hesitation in inserting _I_ after _Agilte_, as it is absolutely required to complete the sense. Read--_Agílt' I yów_, &c. 343. Pronounce _détermínen_ (_i_ as _ee_ in _beet_). 346. Cf. Æn. iv. 321-3. 350. 'Fama, malum quo non aliud _uelocius_ ullum,' Æn. iv. 174; quoted in the margin of MSS. F. and B. 351. 'Nichil occultum quod non reueletur'; Matt. x. 26: quoted in the margin of MSS. F. and B. 355. _Seyd y-shamed be_, said to be put to shame. 359. _Eft-sones_, hereafter again. In the margin of MSS. F. and B. we here find:--'Cras poterunt turpia fieri sicut heri.' By reading _fieri turpia_, this becomes a pentameter; but it is not in Ovid, nor (I suppose) in classical Latin. 361. _Doon_, already done. _To done_, yet to be done. Cf. Book Duch. 708. 366. I read _in_ for _into_ (as in the MSS.). For similar instances, where the scribes write _into_ for _in_, see Einenkel, Streifzüge durch die Mittelengl. Syntax, p. 145. Cf. l. 147. 367. In the margin of MSS. F. and B. is an incorrect quotation of Æn. iv. 548-9:--'tu prima furentem His, germana, malis oneras.' 378. _Eneidos_; because the books are headed _Æneidos liber primus_, &c. 379. See Ovid, Heroides, Epist. vii--Dido Æneæ. 380. _Or that_, ere that, before. 381. Only Th. has the right reading, viz. _And nere it to longe to endyte_ (where _longe_ is an error for _long_). The expressions _And nor hyt were_ and _And nere it were_ are both ungrammatical. _Nere_ = _ne were_, were it not. 388. In the margin of F. and B. we find:--'Nota: of many vntrewe louers. Hospita, Demaphoon, tua te R[h]odopeia Phyllis Vltra promissum tempus abesse queror.' These are the first two lines of Epistola ii. in Ovid's _Heroides_, addressed by Phyllis to Demophoon. All the examples here given are taken from the same work. Epist. iii. is headed _Briseis Achilli_; Epist. v., _Oenone Paridi_; Epist. vi., _Hypsipyle Iasoni_; Epist. xii., _Medea Iasoni_; Epist. ix., _Deianira Herculi_; Epist. x., _Ariadne Theseo_. These names were evidently suggested by the reference above to the same work, l. 379. See the long note to Group B, l. 61, in vol. v.
