2452. _fest throw al the ȝher eliche_, feast through all the year alike. P. 72, l. 2469. _commend_, commended. 2470. _he drywith_, he driveth, pursueth. The reading is not _drawith_, as in Stevenson. NOTES TO BOOK III. P. 73, l. 2471. This line is too long, and the sense imperfect; but there is no doubt about the reading of the MS. 2474. _Awodith_, expels. 2475. _doune valis_, falls down; for it is evident that _valis_ is an error for _falis_, the mistake having arisen from confusion with the succeeding line. 2480. _cled_, clad. 2487. _bygown_, begun. In the next line Stevenson has _sown_; but the true reading is _Rown_, run; as in l. 2820. 2492. _barnag_, baronage, nobility. P. 74, l. 2522. _but dulay_, without delay; _the_, they. 2524. _thar com_, their coming. 2530. _in the dogre_, in its (due) degree. P. 75, l. 2545. _Or that_, ere that. 2552. _he and hate_, high and hot. 2558. _the can_, they began. P. 76, l. 2574. _hyme mak_, prepare himself; or perhaps simply, make (for the field), go. 2582. _helmys last_; _last_ clearly means _laced_; see l. 2250. 2594. _Ȝhit_, although. 2599. _dout_, fear. 2600. _is assemblit_, made an attack. The peculiar use of _assemble_ must always be borne in mind. 2601. _erd_, earth. P. 77, l. 2612. _found till gwyans_, go to Gwyans. 2614. _til esquyris thei sewyt_, after Esquyris they followed. 2619. _one to the melle socht_, made their way to the mêlée. 2627. _don bore_, borne down. 2630. Fifty thousand. It would appear that Galiot had 40,000, of whom 10,000 were held _in reserve_; so that in l. 2632 only 30,000 are mentioned. See l. 2569, 2647. P. 78, l. 2646. _ten_, sorrow, vexation. 2656. _resauf_, receive. 2663. _at thar come_, at their coming; _led_, put down. 2670. _biding one the bent_, abide on the grassy plain. P. 79, l. 2679. “That, despite their efforts, they must needs retire.” 2684. _stud aw_, stood in awe; see note to l. 1506. 2693, 4. These lines do not rime. But we should certainly read _felde_, _erde_ having slipped in from confusion with l. 2691. The knight of Galloway goes _to the field_, i.e. joins battle. P. 80, l. 2712. _On ayar half_, on either side. The MS. omits _to_. 2713. _of_, off. 2714. _noiss_, nose. 2731. _Bot nocht forthi_, But not on that account. P. 81, l. 2754. _harmys_, loss. 2761. _aucht to ses_, ought to cease. 2765. _at_, that. 2768. _my lef_, my leave, permission. 2770. _in to cage_, in prison. P. 82, l. 2802. _commandit_, commended. P. 83, l. 2819. _one athir half_, on either side. 2820. _rown_, run. 2821. _howyns_; an ungrammatical form; perhaps _howyng_ is meant. 2827. _one hycht_, on height; i.e. aloud. 2829. _sterith_, stirreth. 2833. “The lady of Melyhalt made (her way) to him, and immediately caused his couch to be placed before a window.” Mr Stevenson reads, “Of Melyhalt the lady to hyme maid Incontinent his couche, and gart he[N1] had,” etc. i.e. “The lady immediately made his bed for him,” etc.
