p. 87, l. 3044. In the French poem, l. 5108, Hoel and Riol are appointed governors of Mantrible, whereas Richard goes on with Charles and commands one of the divisions of his army (l. 5577). Cf. «Syr Ferumbras», l. 5643. p. 88, l. 3062. «coost», “country, region.” See Mätzner’s «Wörterb.», 487. p. 88, l. 3084. In the «Fierabras», l. 5374, it is Naymes who first recognizes the banner of France; cf. «Syr Ferumbras», l. 5209. [p132] p. 89, l. 3098. «of the Ethiopes» = “some of the Ethiopians.” This may be regarded as an example of the partitive use of «of». Cf. Zupitza’s note to «Guy», 1961. p. 89, l. 3103. «alto hewe» must be more correctly written «al to-hewe»;—«to-», as a mere prefix (signifying “in twain, asunder, apart” = Germ. «zer») belongs essentially to the verb; the intensive adverb «al» (= “utterly, omnino,”) used before verbs beginning not only with «to-», but also before other prefixes, still further strengthens, and belongs to, the whole expression. So «al to-treden», l. 1382, «to-braste», l. 1168. p. 89, l. 3122. «Belmore.» Perhaps identical with Belmarine. p. 90, l. 3130. «wode-wroth», “madly angry.” Cf. Skeat, «Specimens of Early Eng. Lit.», 80/37. p. 90, l. 3141. «game», “sport, joke, affair.” p. 90, l. 3154. «hat», “be called.” See note, l. 613. p. 91, l. 3164. «bronde», “sword.” In the next line «bronte» means “blow, stroke.” p. 91, l. 3189. «lande» : «commaunde». See note, l. 59. p. 91, l. 3191. The rhyme is spoiled. Perhaps «than» must be transposed so that we get the rhyme «baptysed» : «imaryed». p. 92, l. 3210. «there to abide in store» = “to be kept in store”; cf. Skelton, ed. Dyce, I. 162, 221. p. 92, l. 3227. «victory» = “booty, spoils of victory, trophy.” p. 92, l. 3232. «the hyer honde to have» = “to have conquered or vanquished.” The same phrase is found in M. H. G.; cf. Hartmann’s «Iwein», ed. Lachmann, l. 1537–8: “Vrou Minne nam die obern hant, daz sî in vienc unde bant.” p. 93, l. 3236. In the French «Fierabras», l. 6082, «et seq.», and in the Provençal poem, l. 5067, «et seq.», the relics are distributed as follows: Part of the crown and one nail to St. Denis, and “«li signes»,” the winding-sheet of the Lord, to Compiègne. There is no mention made of the cross in the French poem (see note to l. 665); cf. Introd. pp. l and liv. p. 93, l. 3253. According to the «Chanson de Roland», Ganelon has been drawn and quartered in a field near Aix-la-Chapelle. p. 94, l. 3254. «By lawe», cf. «Syr Ferumbras», l. 307: “As for traytours ȝaf þe lawe.” On this law compare Léon Gautier’s note to l. 3736 of the «Chanson de Roland». p. 95, l. 3274. The French poem ends with the assertion of the poet (or the scribe) that whoever has well listened to this romance will find every part of it good and excellent, the opening, the middle, and the end: “De cest roumant est boine et la fin et l’entree, Et enmi et partout, qui bien l’a escoutée.” [p133] GLOSSARY.
