Besides these striking coincidences in whole lines, there are a large number of phrases and endings of lines that are common to the two poems; such as--_the springing of the day_, F. 25, A. 218; _Which, as me thought_, F. 36, A. 50; _wel y-wrought_, F. 49, A. 165; _by mesure_, F. 58, A. 81; _I you ensure_, F. 60, 287, A. 52, 199; _in this wyse_, F. 98, A. 589; _I sat me doun_, F. 118, A. 77; _oon and oon_, F. 144, A. 368, 543, 710; _by and by_, F. 59, 146, A. 87; _withouten fail_, F. 369, A. 567, 646; _herself aloon_, F. 458, A. 84; _ful demure_, F. 459, A. 82; _to put in wryting_, F. 589, A. 664; and others that are printed out in the Notes. Very characteristic of female authorship is the remark that the ladies vied with each other as to which looked the best; a remark which occurs in _both_ poems; see F. 188, A. 384. A construction common to both poems is the use of _very_ with an adjective, a construction used by Lydgate, but not by Chaucer; examples are _very rede_, F. 35; _very good_, F. 10, 315; _very round_, A. 479. It is tedious to enumerate how much these poems have in common. They open in a similar way, F. with the description of a grove, A. with the description of a garden with a maze. In the eighth stanza of F., we come to 'a herber that benched was'; and in the seventh stanza of A. we come to a similar 'herber, mad with benches'; both from The Legend of Good Women. In F., the authoress has a waking vision of 'a world of ladies' (137); in A. she sees in a dream the 'assembly of ladies.' In both, she sees an abundance of dresses, and gems, and bright colours. Both introduce several scraps of French. In both, the authoress has interviews with allegorical or visionary personages, who address her either as daughter or sister. I have little doubt that the careful reader will discover more points of resemblance for himself.
