132. #fele# as adverb is not common; Einenkel, Anglia, xxxiii. 531, quotes ‘þonne moton we . . . fela for urum synnum þrowian,’ Wulfstan 151/5, and the present passage: add Beowulf 1385; ‘He bounde{n} hi{m} so fele sore,’ Havelok 2442. #see#, the flowing tide of success: comp. ‘Swo floweð þis woreld þenne men michel tuderið . . . ⁊ beð michel blisse among mannen,’ OEH ii. 177/16. 134. #gnyde# in the intransitive meaning, ‘be rubbed away’: elsewhere active.

Comp. 27/274-6. 135. #to duste . . . dryuen#: comp. ‘makede . . . godes deore temple to driuen al to duste,’ SJuliana 41/1; a less frequent intransitive use. #Dryhten#, &c.: comp. ‘geong ealdian · god us ece biþ,’ Exeter Book, ed.

The recurrence of þe--vere at l. 148 and the divergence of T which gives for the last half of this line, and hwo hem mide senden, preserving the alliteration, shows that something is wrong here. A rearrangement in the order 143, 147, 148, 144, reading syker he may sitte ⁊ þat him mide syndon, 145, 146, 149 gives a good sense. 151, 2.
