P. 115. l. 4049 "The young women of thy land, fair of sight, and soft of hand, and bright of hue (complexion), of speech glad (joyous), in haste shall I set apart _as_ messengers; do thou send out against these men those who can brew (produce) heart-burning with joy, with features, and with body and sin, pleasantly, with speech small (flattery), to turn them from God's fear to thy land gods and our laws; unless thou canst follow this advice and lead them from God's love, and seek to turn thus their thought, for war nor weapon helpeth not. 4052 _ðgere_ = _gere_ = haste. At first I was inclined to take _ðgere_ for _dere_, so that _wið ðgere_ = for harm. 4053 _ten_ = _te_ (?). Or should we read, _ðe do ten vt_ = cause those to go out. 4056 _Luueke_ may be an error for _luue-like_ = pleasantly; or it may = _luue-leke_ = love; _-lec_ being a not uncommon ending of abstract nouns, as in O.E. _feirlec_, fairness, beauty. 4063 _quad_. The rhyme seems to require _quead_; _ðat ille quad_ = that wickedly spoke (advised); _ðat ille quead_ = that wicked wretch. P. 116. ll. 4086-88 God bad Moses number His folk who were first preserved from death Either twenty winters or more old, Who in Egypt were not before numbered. 4096 All others were driven in death's web. 4106-8 Leave thou not thy folk helpless, and do thou, O God, cause them to be governed just as it may be advantageous for them. P. 117. l. 4110 _loder-man_. See note on l. 3723. 4119-22 Whilst to him lasted life-days, Them he taught precious laws, And written hath committed them to them, Unless they them keep, on them shall be sorrow (misfortune shall befall them). In line 4121 the first _hem_ should be omitted. P. 118. l. 4143-4 Idolatry, that was pleasing to them, oft out-wrought (effected) for them sorrow's trouble, i. e. brought sorrow and trouble upon them. 4159-60 In such virtues grant us to come; Through which we shall be to _everlasting_ life taken. [396] See "The History of Our Lord," vol. i. p. 53. [397] The Northumbrian version reads _gedroefed_, from which the O.E. vb. _drove_. [398] Written _leasowe_. GLOSSARIAL INDEX.
