v. 23. _lust and lykyng_] “_Luste_ pleasure _delyt ... volupté._” Palsgrave’s _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530. fol. xlvi. (Table of Subst.): _lykyng_; see note, p. 85. v. 8. This somewhat pleonastic expression (used again more than once by Skelton) is not uncommon in our old writers: “Allas my swete sones thenne she sayd, for your sakes I shalle lese my _lykynge and lust_.” _Morte d’Arthur_, B. xi. c. x. vol. ii. 174. ed. Southey. Nay, in the interlude of _The Worlde and the Chylde_, 1522, one of the characters bears the name of _Lust and Lykynge_. v. 24. _blowboll_] “Blowbole _yuroigne_.” Palsgrave’s _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530. fol. xx. (Table of Subst.). “To _blowe in a bowle_, and for to pill a platter,” &c. Barclay’s _First Egloge_, sig. A iiii. ed. 1570. “Farewell Peter _blowbowle_ I may wel call thee.” _Enterlude of Kyng Daryus_, 1565. sig. B. Among the contents of MS. Rawlinson marked C. 86., Bodl. Libr., is a ludicrous poem entitled _Colyne Blowbols Testament_: see Sir F. Madden’s Introd. to _Syr Gawayne_, &c. p. lxvi. v. 25. _luggard_] i. e. heavy fellow, sluggard. v. 28. _powle hachet_] So again in our author’s _Garlande of Laurell_; “_Powle hatchettis_, that prate wyll at euery ale pole.” v. 613. vol. i. 386. —— _bleryd thyne I_] (I—eye) i. e. imposed on, put a cheat on you. _Qd._] i. e. Quod, quoth. v. 4. _pastaunce_] i. e. pastime. v. 7. _corage_] i. e. heart. Page 23. v. 8. _fauorable_] i. e. well-favoured, beautiful. v. 11. _Menolope_] In a “ballade” entitled _The IX. Ladies Woorthie_, printed among Chaucer’s _Workes_, the writer, after celebrating the eighth, “Quene Semiramys,” concludes thus; “Also the ladie _Menalip_ thy sister deere, Whose marcial power no man coud withstand, Through the worlde was not found her pere, The famous duke Thes[e]us she had in hand, She chastised hym and [conquered] all his land, The proude Greekes mightely she did assaile, Ouercame and vanquished them in battaile.” fol. 324. ed. 1602. Compare Hawes; “There was quene Phantasyle with penalape Quene helayne and quene _menalape_.” _The Pastime of pleasure_, sig. T iii. ed. 1555. v. 16. _curtoyl_] i. e. curtal. —— _set nowght by_] i. e. set no value, or regard, on. Page 24. v. 17. _Gup, morell, gup,_ _With jayst ye_——] _morell_; see note, p. 93. v. 11.—_Gup_ and _jayst_ are exclamations applied to horses; compare our author’s _Elynour Rummyng_, v. 390. vol. i. 107., and his third _Poem against Garnesche_, v. 13. vol. i. 120. So too in _Camelles Rejoindre_ to Churchyarde (fol. broadside); “Then _gip_ fellowe asse, then _jost_ fellowe lurden.” v. 19. _corage_] i. e. heart, affection, inclination. —— _haggys_] I know not in what sense Skelton uses this word: so again in his _Colyn Cloute_; “I purpose to shake oute All my connyng bagge, Lyke a clerkely _hagge_.” v. 50. vol. i. 313. and in his poem _Howe the douty Duke of Albany_, &c.;
