[541] MSS. Bodl. Lib. Oxf., MSS. Douce, No. 381, fol. 159. A second example occurs in the same MS., fol. 160. [542] I have to thank my friend Sidney Colvin, M.A., for drawing my attention to this picture. [543] See above, pp. 37, 38. [544] MSS. Mus. Brit. 18 E. IV. [545] _Le Debat de l'honneur entre trois Princes chevalereux_. Bibil. Roy. Bruxelles, No. 9278, fol. 10. The MS. is from the library of the Dukes of Burgundy, and may be dated in the second third of the fifteenth century. [546] The original words are 'seize pas de vuide.' The substantive 'pas' must I think mean a foot, the length a foot makes when set upon the ground. The word pace, the length of which is 2 ft. 6 in. or 3 ft., is inapplicable here. [547] _Essays of Michael Seigneur de Montaigne._ Made English by Ch. Cotton, Vol. III. pp. 53, 54. 8vo. London, 1741. I have to thank my friend Mr A. F. Sieveking for this reference. INDEX.
