Lang. Notes_, IX. iv. 203 (April 1894). 8. MS. Rawlinson C. 307, fol. 2, r^o (after 1458). Eight stanzas, of which three are peculiar to this MS., and are of a more distinctly Northern dialect than the remainder. The poem is the only English text in a MS. containing Latin prose and verse. Two Latin poems in the same hand as _Erthe upon Erthe_ refer to the death of Gilbert Pynchbeck at York in 1458, which would fix the date c. 1460, or later. The three independent stanzas were printed by Fiedler, _ibid._ p. 221. 9. [8]MS. Harl. 4486, fol. 146, r^o (fifteenth century). Eight stanzas added on the last leaf but one of a copy of _Le Livre de Sydrac_, immediately after the colophon. The last two leaves and the cover of the MS. contain various scribblings in fifteenth-century hands, chiefly of Latin aphorisms and rimes. Folio 147, v^o, contains the signature of Tho. Baker, who may possibly have transcribed the English poem. Not printed before. 10. MS. Lambeth 853, fol. 35 (c. 1430-1450). Twelve stanzas. Printed by F. J. Furnivall, _Hymns to the Virgin and Christ_, p. 88 (E.E.T.S. 1867, No. xxiv, reprinted 1895). 11. MS. Laud Misc. 23, fol. 111, v^o (before 1450). Twelve stanzas, varying very slightly from MS. Lambeth. Not printed before. 12. MS. Cotton Titus A xxvi, fol. 153, r^o (fifteenth century). Six four-lined stanzas, apparently the beginning of a transcript of MS. Lambeth. Not printed before. 13. MS. Rawlinson Poetic. 32, v^o (after 1450). Thirty-two stanzas, each of four short lines, corresponding to half the normal stanza; stanzas 17 to 30 are peculiar to this MS. The greater part printed by Fiedler, _ibid._ p. 222. 14. MS. Porkington 10, fol. 79, v^o (fifteenth century). Twelve six-lined stanzas, of which stanzas 7 to 11 are peculiar to this MS. Printed by Halliwell, _Early Eng. Misc. in Prose and Verse, selected from an inedited MS. of the 15th cent._, p. 39 (Warton Club, 1855), and by Fiedler, ibid. p. 225. 15. MS. Balliol 354, fol. 207, v^o (Richard Hill’s Commonplace Book, dated before 1504). Sixteen stanzas, of which stanzas 6 to 14 introduce an independent digression on the Nine Worthies. Printed by Flügel, _Anglia_, xxvi. 94 (1903), and by Roman Dyboski, _Songs, Carols, and Other Misc. Poems_, p. 90 (E.E.T.S. 1907, extra ser. ci). 16. MS. Harl. 984, fol. 72, r^o (sixteenth century). The preceding leaf of the MS. has been torn out, leaving only two lines of what may be assumed to be verse 6, and the whole of verse 7, which occur with other fragments on the last leaf but one.
