The Poetical Works of John Skelton, Volume 2 (of 2)
Skelton, John
English poetry -- Early modern, 1500-1700
[55] _on_] Other eds. “of.”
[56] _they_] Qy. “ye” here—or “they” in the three preceding lines?
[57] _scrape_] Eds. of Kynge and Marche, and of Day, “scape.”
[58] _non, or non_] Lant’s ed. “_non or_ uou.” Other eds. “uou _or_ uou.”
[59] _Græce fari_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “_grecisari_.”
[60] _Tryuyals_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “Triuiale.”
[61] _the_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “that.”
[62] _roufled_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “roulled.”
[63] _Menanders_] See notes.
[64] _Plauti_] Lant’s ed. “Plautfi.” Other eds. “Plaut si.”
[65] _Declamacyons_] Eds. (with various spelling) “declaracyons.” See
_ante_ p. 374, note 5.
[66] _gariopholo_] See notes.
[67] _pleris cum musco_] Ed. of Kynge and Marche, “_pleris_ com _musco_.”
Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “_pleris_ commusco.” Instead of “_pleris_,” the
Rev. J. Mitford proposes “flarnis” (_species placentæ_).
[68] _Elencticum_] Eds. “_Elencum_.”
[69] _enthymematicum_] Eds. “_Emtimematicum_” and “_Emtimaticum_.”
[70] _Retoricyons_] Other eds. “_Retorcions_.”
[71] _my_] Other eds. “myne” and “mine.”
[72] _dere_] Not in eds. of Day, and Marshe.
[73] _the_] Other eds. “that.”
[74] _ryall_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, (with various spelling), “royall.”
[75] _now_] Not in MS.
[76] _Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis, &c._] “&c.” not in eds.
of Day, and Marshe. MS. “_Itaque consolamyni in verbis_ istibus.” Before
these words eds. have “_Galathea_,” which MS. rightly, I think, omits.
[77] _Candidi lectores, callide callete; vestrum fovete Psittacum, &c._]
Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “—— seuete _psitacum_,” omitting “&c.” MS. omits
this passage here, but gives it after the words with which the eds.
of _Speke, Parrot_ conclude (see p. 14), having “callige” instead of
“_callete_,” and wanting “&c.”
[78] _Hic occurrat, &c._] Was no doubt intended for a marginal note,
though in MS. (it is wanting in eds.) it is not clearly distinguished
from the text.
[79] _In ista cantilena, &c._] Grossly corrupted. The Rev. J. Mitford
proposes “_ore stillanti_.” MS. has “_eperit_.”
[80] _Quod_] MS. “Quid.”
[81] _Est mihi lasciva pagina, vita proba_] “_Lasciva est nobis pagina,
vita proba est._” _Ep._ i. 5.
[82] _Zoe kai psyche ... desuper_] Is plainly a marginal note, though in
MS. (it is not in eds.) it is placed after “_Concumbunt Græce_,” &c.
[83] _kus, kus, kus_] MS. “_kus, kus._”
[84] _lyght on thy swete lyttyll_] MS. “lyghten _thy lytyll swete_.”
[85] _Zoe kai psyche_] Eds. “_zoelzepsiche_;” and so MS., with slight
variation of spelling: the Latin which precedes shews the true reading.
These words are followed in eds. by “Amen;” which MS. rightly gives a
little after.
[86] _Aquinates_] Has crept into the text in eds., and is not clearly
distinguished from the text in MS. But it is certainly a marginal
note—meaning Juvenal, from whom “_Concumbunt Græce_,” &c. is quoted: see
_Sat._ vi. 191.
[87] _Concumbunt_] Other eds. “_Concubunt._”
