962. _Al to-shake_, all shaken to pieces, sorely distressed. Cf. l. 820. 964. Æneas and Achates sally forth, Æn. i. 312; Ho. Fame, 226. 971. _Hunteresse_, huntress; i.e. Venus so disguised; id. i. 319. 'As she had been an _hunteresse_'; Ho. Fame, 229. 973. _Cutted_, cut short; 'nuda genu'; id. i. 320. The same expression occurs as 'cutted to the kne' in P. Ploughman's Crede, 296. Compare also l. 434 of the same poem:-- 'His wyf walked him with, with a longe gode [goad], In a _cutted_ cote, _cutted_ full hey[gh]e.' The editions have _knytte_, which is an erroneous spelling either of _knyt_ or of _knytted_; neither of which readings can be right. 978-82. Translated from Æn. i. 321-4. 982. _Y-tukked up_, with robe tucked up; 'Succinctam.' This settles the meaning of _tukked_ in Ch. Prol. 621. 983-93. Shortened from Æn. i. 325-340. 986. 'Phoebus' sister'; Vergil has 'Phoebi soror'; 329. 994-1001. Alluding to Æn. i. 341-410. 997. _Hit nere but_, it would only be; _nere_ = _ne were_. 998. _Al and som_, the whole matter; wholly and in particulars. 1005. _Sitheo_, so in all the copies. Nothing is commoner than a confusion between _c_ and _t_ in old MSS.; hence _Sitheo_ is for _Sichco_, i.e. Sichaeus. Sichaeus (Æn. i. 343) is Vergil's name for Acerbas, a wealthy Tyrian priest, who married Elissa (Vergil's Dido) sister of Pygmalion. Pygmalion murdered Acerbas, hoping to appropriate his treasure; but Elissa fled from Tyre, taking the treasure with her, and founded Carthage. Dante has the form _Sicheo_; Inf. v. 62. 1010. _Fredom_, liberality; the old sense of _free_ being 'liberal.' _Of_ here means 'for'; in l. 1012 it means 'by.' 1016. _Maister-temple_, chief temple; cf. _maistre-strete_, chief street (Kn. Ta., A 2902), and _maistre-tour_, chief tower (Squi. Tale, F 226). It was the temple of Juno; Æn. i. 446. 1022. 'So the book says'; Vergil says that Venus shrouded Æneas and Achates with a cloud (i. 412, 516). 1024. The first syllable of _Hadden_ forms a foot by itself; cf. l. 1030. _Ov'r al_ forms the last foot. 1025. 'Uidet Iliacas ex ordine pugnas'; i. 456. 1028. 'Bellaque iam fama totum uulgata per orbem'; i. 457. 1032. _Kepe_, care; usually with a negative; see Kn. Ta., A 2238, 2960. 1035. See Æn. i. 496, &c. Vergil likens Dido to Diana. In l. 1039 Chaucer uses _god_ in the heathen sense, meaning Jupiter. 1044-6. These lines are original. _Fremd_, strange; A.S. _fremede_. In the Squi. Tale, F 429, it means 'foreign.' 'To frende ne to _fremmed_,' to friend nor to stranger; P. Plowm. B. xv. 137. Misspelt _frenne_ (riming with _glenne_) in Spenser, Shep. Kal. April, 28, with the sense of 'stranger'; unless he means it for _foreign_. 1047-60. Epitomised from Æn. i. 509-612. 1048. _Wende han loren_, he supposed to have lost, he supposed that he had lost. 1050. _For which_, on which account, wherefore.
