4088. _capul_, a horse, occurs again, in D. 2150. _lathe_, a barn, is still in use in some parts of Yorkshire, but chiefly in local designations, being otherwise obsolescent; see the Cleveland and Whitby Glossaries. 'The northern man writing to his neighbour may say, "My _lathe_ standeth neer the _kirkegarth_," for My barne standeth neere the churchyard:' Coote's Eng. Schoolemaster, 1632 (Nares). Ray gives: '_Lathe_, a barn' in 1691; and we again find '_Leath_, a barn' in 1781 (E. D. S. Gloss. B. 1); and '_Leath_, _Laith_, a barn' in 1811 (E. D. S. Gloss. B. 7); in all cases as a Northern word. 4096. 'Trim his beard,' i. e. cheat him; and so again in D. 361. See Chaucer's Hous of Fame, 689, and my note upon it. 'Myght I thaym have spyde, I had _made thaym a berd_.' Towneley Mysteries, p. 144. 4101. _Iossa_, 'down here'; a cry of direction. Composed of O. F. _jos_, _jus_, down; and _ça_, here. Bartsch gives an example of _jos_ in his Chrestomathie, 1875, col 8: 'tuit li felun cadegren _jos_,' all the felons fell down; and Cotgrave has: '_Jus_, downe, or to the ground.' Godefroy gives: _ça jus_, here below, down here. It is clearly a direction given by one clerk to the other, and was probably a common cry in driving horses. _warderere_, i. e. _warde arere_, 'look out behind!' Another similar cry. MS. Cm. has: _ware the rere_, mind the rear, which is a sort of gloss upon it. 4110. _hething_, contempt. See numerous examples in Mätzner, s. v. _hæthing_, ii. 396. Cf. 'Bothe in _hething_ and in _scorn_'; Sir Amadace, l. 17, in Robson's _Three Met. Romances_, p. 27. 'Him thoght _scorn_ and gret _hething_'; Seven Sages, ed. Weber, l. 91. 4112. The first foot is 'trochaic.' 4115. _in his hond_, in his possession, in his hold. 4126. 'Or enlarge it by argument'; prove by logic that it is the size you wish it to be. 4127. _Cutberd_, St. Cuthbert, bishop of Lindisfarne, died in 686. Being a Northumberland man, John swears by a Northumberland saint. 4130. Evidently a proverb: 'a man must take (one) of two things, either such as he finds or such as he brings'; i. e. must put up with what he can get. 4134. Another proverb. Repeated in D. 415, with _lure_ for _tulle_. From the Policraticus of John of Salisbury, liv. v. c. 10: 'Veteri [125] celebratur proverbio: Quia vacuae manus temeraria petitio est.' MS. Cm. has the rimes _folle_, _tolle_. For _tulle_, a commoner spelling is _tille_, to draw, hence to allure, entice. Hence E. _till_ (for money), orig. meaning a 'drawer'; and the _tiller_ of a rudder, by which it is drawn aside. See _tullen_ in Stratmann, and _tollen_ in Boeth. bk. ii. pr. 7. 11 (in vol. ii. p. 45).
