[1174. This may mean-- “He (Havelok) is given to her, and she has taken (him)” --but this makes _yaf_ and _tok_ past participles, which they properly are not; or else we must translate it-- “He (Godard) gave them to her, and she took them,” i.e. the pence. This alone is the grammatical construction, and it suits the context best; observe, that the words _ys_ and _as_ are equivalent to _es_ = them. Cf. l. 970. See Morris; _Gen. & Exod._, Pref. p. xviii.] 1203. _Thanne he komen there_, &c. Comp. the Fr. l. 556. A Grimesby s’en alerent; Mes li prodoms estoit finiz, Et la Dame q’is out nurriz. Kelloc sa fille i ont trouée, Vn marchant l’out esposée. The marriage of Kelloc, Grim’s daughter, with a merchant is skilfully introduced in the French, and naturally leads to the mention of Denmark. The plot of the English story is wholly dissimilar in this respect. 1247. _On the nith_, &c. Comp. the Fr. l. 381. Quant couché furent ambedui, Cele out grant honte de lui, Et il assez greindre de li. As deuz se geut, si se dormi. Ne voloit pas q’ele veist La flambe qe de lui issist. The voice of the angel is completely an invention of the English author, and the dream (which is transferred from Argentille to Havelok) is altogether different in its detail. 1260. _He beth heyman_, &c. Comp. the Fr. l. 521. Il est né de real lignage, Oncore auera grant heritage. Grant gent fra vers li encline, Il serra roi & tu reyne. [1334. The words _euere-il del_ are corruptly repeated from line 1330 above. Perhaps we should read _wit-uten were_, i.e. without doubt.] 1430. _Hauede go for him gold ne fe._ Cf. l. 44. So in Laȝamon: Ne sculde him neoðer gon fore Gold ne na gærsume, &c.; vol. ii. p. 537. [1444. The French text helps but little to supply the blank. It shows that Havelok and his wife sailed to Denmark, and, on their arrival, sought out the castle belonging to Sigar, who answers to the Ubbe of the English version.] 1632. _A gold ring drow he forth anon_, &c. A similar incident, and in nearly the same words, occurs in Sir Tristrem. A ring he raught him tite, The porter seyd nought nay, In hand: He was ful wis, y say, That first yave yift in land. --fytte i. st. 57, p. 39. So also Wyntoun, who relates the subsidy of 40,000 moutons sent from France to Scotland in 1353, and adds, Qwha gyvis swilk gyftyis he is wyse. [See also _Piers Plowman_, Text A. iii. 202.] 1646. _Hw he was wel of bones_, &c. Comp. the Fr. l. 743. Gent cors & bele feture, Lungs braz & grant furcheure Ententiuement l’esgarda. [1678. This line has two syllables too little.] 1722. _Thanne he were set_, &c. This is an amplification of the Fr. l. 677, sq. Quant fut houre del manger, Et qe tuz alerent lauer, Li prodoms a manger s’assist, Les .iii. valez seeir i fist, Argentille lez son seignur; Serui furent a grant honur.
