p. 55, l. 1892. «And yet knowe I him noght.» Floripas has already once [p124] seen Guy when he was defeating Lukafer before Rome; cf. «Fierabras», ll. 2237–2245: “.i. chevalier de France ai lontans enamé Guis a nom de Borgoigne, moult i a bel armé; Parens est Karlemaine et Rollant l’aduré. Dès que je fui à Romme, m’a tout mon cuer emblé; Quant l’amirans mes peres fist gaster la cité, Lucafer de Baudas abati ens ou pré, Et lui et le ceval, d’un fort espiel quarré. Se cis n’est mes maris, je n’arai homme né; Pour lui voel je croire ou roi de sainte maïsté.” See also «Syr Ferumbras», ll. 2073–2087. Our line does not necessarily imply a contradiction to the French text, as on the former occasion she probably saw the duel from a great distance, when the latter’s features were hidden by his helmet. That she really did not recognize him follows from the following passage of «Fierabras», l. 2800, «et seq.» “Je aim en douce France .i. leger baceler.” —“Dame, comment a nom?” ce dist Rollans li her Et respont la puciele: “ja le m’orrés nommer; Guis a nom de Borgoigne, moult i a bel armé.” —“Par mon cief” dist Rollans “à vos ex le véés N’a pas entre vous deus iiii piés mesurés.” Besides there are numerous instances to be met with in mediæval poetry of persons enamoured of some one they had never seen: “Ans no la vi et am la fort” says Guilhelm de Poitiers in speaking of his lady (Mahn, «Werke der Troubadours», p. 3). Cf. also «Rits. Rom.» II. 19, and «Web. Rom.» II. 131. p. 55, l. 1927. «myghty» seems to mean “excellent, delicious,” rather than “heavy.” p. 57, l. 1974. «amonge», “every now and then, from time to time, occasionally.” See Zupitza’s note to «Guy», 2301. It is often used as a kind of expletive. p. 57, l. 1995. «foulis», “fools, foolish.” Cf. the French text: “Par Mahoun, dist li rois, trestout sont «fol» prové.” p. 57, l. 1996. There is no mention made of this game in the Provençal poem. It is described here even more explicitly than in the French «Fierabras», ll. 2907–2932. Cf. also «Syr Ferumbras», ll. 2230–2251. p. 57, l. 1997. «assorte» = “assembly, company;” by one assorte = “in one company” (Halliwell). It seems to be connected with «sort» = “set, assemblage,” see Skeat, «Specimens of E. E.», 425/999 p. 58, l. 2000. «i-fest» : «blast». Perhaps we ought to read «i-fast». p. 59, l. 2036. «maden orders.» I do not know the exact meaning of this expression. Perhaps it may be taken with the same sense as the Mod. H. Germ. phrase = “ordnung schaffen,” which literally means [p125] “to set in order, to put matters straight,” but is often used in the sense of “to clear away,” or, “to remove or despatch.” p. 59, l. 2045. «that he wente awaye with lym» = “that he had escaped with (his limbs, or having) his limbs safe and sound.” «lyme», O.E. «lim», Mod. Eng. «limb». p. 59, l. 2052. «tho» = O.E. «Þâ», “those, them,” it is used as a definite article in l. 2063.
