[Footnote 6: I will state shortly some of those words, which have been cited above, p. 313. as _either not ancient or not used in their ancient sense_, with their corresponding articles in Skinner. ABESSIE; _Humility_. C.--Abessed;--_Humiliatus_. Sk. ABORNE; _Burnished_, C.--Borne; _Burnish_. Sk. It was usual with Chatterton to prefix _a_ to words of all sorts, without any regard to custom or propriety. See in the Alphabetical Gloss. _Aboune, Abreave, Acome, Aderne, Adygne, Agrame, Agreme, Alest_, &c. ABOUNDE. This word Chatterton has not interpreted, but the context shews that it is used in the sense of _good_. So that I suspect it was taken from the following article in Skinner. Abone,--a Fr. G. Abonnir; _Bonum_ facere. ABREDYNGE: _Upbraiding_. C.--Abrede, exp. _Upbraid_. Sk. ACROOL; _Faintly_. C.--Crool, exp. _Murmurare_. Sk. See the remark upon ABORNE. ADENTE, ADENTED: _Fastened, annexed_. C.--Adent;--_Configere, Conjungere_. Sk. ALUSTE has no interpretation: but it is used in the sense of _raise_. Perhaps it may have been derived from a mistaken reading of Alust, which is explained by Skinner to mean _Tollere_. See the remarks upon _Alyse_ and _Bestoiker_, p. 328, 329. DERNE, DERNIE; _Woeful, lamentable, cruel_. C.--Derne; _Dirus, crudelis_. Sk. DROORIE; _Modesty_. C.--Drury; _Modestia_. Sk. FONS, FONNES; _Fancys, Devices_. C.--Fonnes; _Devises_. Sk. KNOPPED; _Fastened, chained, congealed_. C.--Knopped; _Tied_. Sk. LITHIE: _Humble_. C.--Lithy; _Humble_. Sk. But in truth I do not believe that there is any such word. Skinner probably found it in his edition of Chaucer's _Cuckow and Nightingale_, ver. 14. where the MSS. have LITHER (_wicked_), which is undoubtedly the right reading.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Rowley Poems, by Thomas Chatterton
