The _Cokwoldes Daunce_ is printed in Von Karajan’s Frühlingsgabe, 12mo. Vienna, 1839. P. 137, l. 15. “Fayr chylde, lullay,” sone must she syng.] Lullay is a very common burden to the old nursery songs, one of the oldest of which is preserved in MS. Harl. 913, and has been printed by Ritson. Sharp has printed the following, which, as belonging to a Coventry pageant, will be appropriately introduced in this place:— Lully, lulla, thow littell tiné child; By, by, lully, lullay, thow littell tyné child: By, by, lully, lullay. O, sisters too, How may we do For to preserve this day This pore yongling, For whom we do singe By, by, lully, lullay. Herod the king, In his raging Chargith he hath this day His men of might, In his owne sight, All yonge children to slay. That wo is me, Pore child for thee, And ever morne and say. For thi parting, Nether say nor singe By, by, lully, lullay. P. 139, l. 16. Now, sere.] This line ought to be pointed thus, “Now, sere, evyl thedom com to thi snowte!” The ignorant transcriber of the MS. has written “Thedom” as a proper name, which is an evident absurdity. P. 140, l. 30. Whylle that it dede snow.] The story of the child of snow was very popular in the middle ages, and is often alluded to. It is briefly told in Latin verse by Geoffrey de Vinsauf, Nov. Poetr. ap. Leyser, Hist. Poet. Med. Æv. pp. 901, 903; and at greater length in a French fabliau of the thirteenth century, printed in the collection of Méon, tom. iii. p. 215, analysed in Legrand d’Aussy, tom. iii. p. 84. It occurs at a later period in the celebrated collection, entitled _Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles_ (ed. Le Roux de Lincy, Paris, 1841, tom. i. p. 153), and in many other similar works composed in Italy and France. P. 145. THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.] The Protevangelion of James is the authority for this pageant. P. 146, l. 1. It is clepyd a chery tre.] This fable of the cherry tree is the subject of a well known Christmas carol, which has been printed by Hone, _Ancient Mysteries Described_, p. 90. See also Collier’s Hist. Dram. Poet. vol. ii. p. 179. P. 153, l. 2. Ulverando.] Sic in codice MS., sed forte _ululando_. P. 158, l. 29. This songe begynne.] In old miniatures the shepherds are often represented playing on bagpipes. P. 168, l. 13, to p. 170, l. 31. This is added to the original manuscript in a more recent hand. P. 192, l. 9. Lyke as the sunne doth pers the glas.] “He lyted within her as the sonne-shyne thurgh the glas.”—MS. Sloan. 3160, fol. 38. P. 199, l. 1, to p. 200, l. 30. This is added to the manuscript in a more recent hand. P. 199, l. 8. He.] Probably _ye_. P. 199, l. 24. Ys.] Probably _your_.
