[11] _dicere_] MS. (which alone has these marginal notes) “_dictorem:_” the whole runs in Martial thus: “_Psittacus a vobis aliorum nomina_ discam: _Hoc didici per me dicere, Cæsar, ave_.” xiv. 73. [12] _this_] Ed. of Kynge and Marche, “thie.” [13] _your_] MS. “ower.”—In this line a friend would read “muie;” but MS. has “mewte.” [14] _Ebrew, Araby, and Caldey_] MS. “_Ebrue and_ in _Caldee_.” [15] _Dowse_] Other eds. “Howse.” MS. “Dowche.” [16] _can supple_] MS. “_can_ shewe propyrlye.” [17] _Henry_] MS. “herry.” [18] _ryall_] Other eds. and MS. (with various spelling) “roial.” [19] _saves_] So MS. Eds. “_sauies:_”—“_habler_” ought to be “_hablar_;” but throughout this work I have not altered the spelling of quotations in _modern_ languages, because probably Skelton wrote them inaccurately. [20] _fidasso de cosso_] So MS. Eds. of Lant, and of Kynge and Marche, “sidasso _de cosso_.” Eds. of Day, and of Marshe, “sidasso _de_ costo.” See notes. [21] _expers_] Not in MS. [22] _dictes ar_] Other eds. “dices at.” [23] _Souentez foys, &c._] This line found only in Lant’s ed. and MS. The latter has “_Souentem_,” (or “_Sonentem_,”) &c. [24] _pronuntio_] Probably not the right reading. The MS. seems to have either “pō sio” or “pō fio.” [25] _maystres_] Other eds. “maysters” and “maisters.” [26] _I_] MS. “he.” [27] _mory_] MS. “mery:” but the context seems to confirm the other reading. [28] _men_] MS. “mad.” [29] _for_] Other eds. “sor” and “or.” [30] _theyr doth_] MS. “ys the.” [31] _Myden_] So MS. Eds. “_Niden_.” [32] _Greke_] MS. “grekys.” [33] _Besy, besy, &c._] Instead of this stanza, MS. has,— “_Besy, besy, besy, and Besynes agayne_ _Thus parott dothe pray yow with herte moste tentyr,” &c._ omitting what occurs between the first of these lines and the second (p. 11) in eds. [34] _maturato_] Other eds. “_marturato_.” [35] _sanno_] Marshe’s ed. “_saung_.” [36] _Iobab_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “Iob.” See notes. [37] _Hus_] Ed. of Kynge and Marche, “Pus.” [38] _cause_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “law.” [39] _Popering_] Other eds. “popeting.” [40] _whynnymeg_] Other eds. (with various spelling) “whynnynmeg.” [41] _wald haue e_] Other eds. “would (and “wold”) _haue_ a:” but the reading of Lant’s ed. seems to have been intended for Scotch. [42] _bagpype_] So other eds. (with various spelling). Lant’s ed. “Bagbyte.” [43] _the_] Not in other eds. [44] _erstrych_] So other eds. Lant’s ed. “exstrych.” [45] _Thomasen_] Marshe’s ed. “thomase.” [46] _sayth_] Other eds. “say.” [47] _Irysh_] Marshe’s ed. “trysh.” [48] _Wrig wrag_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “_wrig_ wag.” [49] _Delarag_] Other eds. “declarag.” [50] _crop_] Other eds. “cryp” and “crip.” [51] _Og, that fat hog of_] Other eds. “hog _that fat hog_ or.” [52] _Cananæorum_] Eds. “canaueorum.” [53] _Hough ho he rulyth_] Day’s ed. “_hough he ruleth_.” Marshe’s ed. “_hough ho ruleth_.” [54] _chiromancy_] So Marshe’s ed. Other eds. “ciromancy.”
