174. _mild_. Cf. ‘Rich. C. de L.’ 6887-8: _Tho sayde to hym with mylde stevene_, also a frequent phrase in the ‘Assumption.’ 176. _beoþ icumene_. For other examples of _beon_ as auxiliary cf. _beþ ygo_ 310 H, _am iorne_ 1228 C, etc. Cf. also ‘Lay.’ 13838-9: _whæt cnihten ȝe seon & whænnenen ȝe icumen beon_. 175 ff. Compare with Aylmer’s greeting the in many ways similar greeting of Vortiger to Hengest and Horsa. ‘Lay.’ 13826 ff. 180-2. _Ne sauȝ ihc ..._ Cf. 180-2 Note. 202. _sail and roþer_. Cf. ‘R. H.’ 60-61: _Kil naient auirum dunt a (!) seient aidanȝ sigle ne guuernad (!) dunt il seient naianȝ_. 204. _brymme_. Cf. ‘Lay.’ 272: _ferde bi þere sæ brimme_ (Wissmann). 206. _honde bihynde_. Cf. Wissmann’s parallel citations from Alexander (Weber, as above I.) 2013 ff. and ‘Chron. of Engl.’ (Ritson II.) 873. 208. _spille_. Cf. ‘Havelok’ 242: _Helpe me nu in þis nede and late ye nouth mi bodi spille_ (Wissmann). 210. _Niþing_. Cf. Wissmann’s note. 221. _schulle_. Cf. Wissmann’s note and citation from ‘Oct. Imp.’ (Weber III.). 535. _to blowe swyþe schylle_. 239 ff. Horn’s education. Cf. the similar scene in the later romance, ‘Ipomydon’ 32 ff., which, like ‘Rich. C. de L.,’ has many traits in common with King Horn, and was no doubt influenced by King Horn. (Weber, as above, II, pp. 281 ff.): _A feyrer child myght no man see_ _Tholomew a clerk he toke,_ _That taught the chyld vppon the boke,_ _Bothe to synge and to rede;_ _And after he taught hym other dede;_ _Aftirward to serve in halle_ _Bothe to grete and to smalle_ _Before the kyng mete to kerve,_ _Hye and lowe feyre to serve:_ _Bothe of howndis and haukis game_ _Aftir he taught hym, all and same._ _In se, in feld, and eke in ryuère_ _In wodde to chase the wild dere_ _And in the feld to ryde a stede_ _That all men had joy of his dede_ Verses 67-70 of ‘Ipomydon’ remind more directly of the French version, ‘R. H,.’ so that perhaps it was by this version of the Horn story that the composer of ‘Ipomydon’ was influenced. 244. _Of wude and of riuere_. Cf. the similar phrase in ‘R. H.’ 377: _De bois e de riuere, refait il autre tal_. 247 ff. Cf. ‘Lay.’ 4893 ff.: _Brennes wes swiðe hende [v] his hap wes þe betere. Brennes cuðe on hundes, Brennes cuðe on hauekes, he cuðe mid his honden hanlie þa harpe._ 250. _Cupe serue_. Cf. ‘Ipomydon’ (as above) 295, where the princess says to Ipomydon, “_Of the cuppe ye shall serve me_,” and 320 where Ipomydon does serve with the cup. Cf. also ‘R. H.’ 471: _Horn serui le rei bien de la cupe acel ior_. 264 ff. Cf. the apparently borrowed scene in ‘Rich. C. de L.’ vv. 879 ff., where the princess falls in love with the captive Richard and bids the jailer, “_And aftir soper, in the evenyng, To my chaumbyr thow hym bryng In the atyr of a squyer_” (909-11). 266. _He_ = ‘she’ as elsewhere (OE. _hēo_): _mest in þoȝte_. For similar phrase cf. Wissmann 254 Note.
