I have not found elsewhere the term _lege de moy_. Mace, in his _Musick’s Monument_, 1676, mentions a _Tattle de Moy_,—“a New Fashion’d Thing, much like a Seraband; only It has more of Conceit in It, as (in a manner) speaking the word (Tattle de Moy),” &c. p. 129.

(Thirde Boke). v. 617. _yll hayle_] i. e. ill health,—ill luck,—a common imprecation in our old poetry; “_Ill haile_, Alein, by God thou is a fonne.” Chaucer’s _Reves Tale_, v. 4087. ed. Tyr. See too _Chester Mysteries_ (_De Del. Noe_), p. 27. Roxb. ed. Page 114. v. 619. _to mytche_] i. e. too much. v. 620. _mummynge_] i. e. frolicking, merriment.

Since. v. 4. _Syr Tyrmagant_]—or _Termagant_,—a very furious deity, whom the Crusaders and romance-writers charged the Saracens with worshipping, though there was certainly no such Saracenic divinity. Concerning the name, see Gifford’s note on Massinger’s _Works_, ii. 125. ed. 1813, and Nares’s _Gloss._ in v.—So in _The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy_, which in various minute particulars bears a strong resemblance to the present pieces _Against Garnesche_; “_Termygantis_ temptis and Vespasius thy eme.” Dunbar’s _Poems_, ii. 85. ed. Laing. —— _tyrnyd_] i. e. tourneyed, encountered. v. 5. _Syr Frollo de Franko_] Was a Roman knight, governor of Gaul, slain by King Arthur: see _Geoffrey of Mon._ l. ix. cap. ii., _The Legend of King Arthur_, Percy’s _Rel. of A.
