p. 37, l. 1030 f. If we compare the rests of these lines in F. VI., this reading or a similar one is to be expected. The reading of l. 1029 ff. in the fragments may be completed so: _[Thourgh the he]lpe of god of heuen Thorough ye and] herin euen God send the spere the right way_. p. 36, l. 1033 f. Cf. ll. 1166, 2468 f., and Kölbing’s note to _Sir Tristrem_, l. 69 f. p. 38, l. 1070. ‘I came hither to seek my death,’ _i.e._ this expedition was so dangerous, that I expected to die. p. 38, l. 1076. Cf. _Ipomadon_, l. 239 f.: ‘Tyll vncovth contreys will I wende, The maner wille I see.’ p. 39, l. 1081. _is_ was to be corrected into _it_: ‘Because you slew him that possessed it.’ p. 39, l. 1086. This line, according to Hall’s emendation, means: You owe no homage or feudal due, the manor is yours and your heirs’ for ever; _i.e._ the manor is in fee simple, and free from any feudal obligation. p. 39, st. 95. The text would be improved by putting ll. 1104-6 before 1101-3, although this transposition is not absolutely necessary. p. 39, l. 1105. _lefte_ may be a mistake for _loste_; cf. _Gower_, I. 207: ‘Contenaunce for a þrowe He loste.’ p. 40, l. 1117. Cf. Ritson’s _Met. Rom._, III. p. 341 f., and Zupitza’s note to _Guy_, l. 436. p. 40, l. 1121. _he bare_ looks rather suspicious, but it is supported by l. 2169. The author is about to describe the figures inlaid on the shield. Cf. _Eglamour_, l. 1030 f.: ’_He bare_ in azure[N1] a grype of golde, Rychely beton on the molde.’ [Footnote N1: So _Percy Fol. MS._; _aserre_ Thornt.] p. 40, l. 1124. This line is hopelessly spoilt; the scribe, careless as he was, has almost literally repeated l. 1121; l. 1125 directly continues the description begun before. p. 40, l. 1132. Is _than I haue in tale_ right? We expect rather: _than I can telle in tale_. p. 41, l. 1138 f. Cf. l. 1587 f. p. 41, l. 1143. I thought it necessary to insert _mete_, although Mätzner, _Wörterbuch_, II. p. 274, cites this line as the only instance in the M.E. literature for _glad_ as a substantive. But even the sense is very poor without this addition. p. 41, l. 1144. As to a man riding into the hall, cf. Skeat’s note to Chaucer’s _Squiere’s Tale_, l. 80, and Kölbing’s note to _Ipomadon_ l. 6253 f. p. 41, l. 1150 f. I hope my alterations in l. 1151 are right. It cannot be said that the King of Aragon defends the lady unless somebody has laid claims to her. Torrent wants either three combats or the lady, quite a regular occurrence in mediæval romances. p. 41, l. 1154. _none_, i.e. _no lady_. p. 41, l. 1160. Cf. Kölbing’s note to _Tristrem_, l. 138. p. 41, l. 1165. _the gres_, which word is here required by the rhyme, is, in the same way as in this passage, used for ‘battle-field,’ in _Perceval_, l. 1225 f.: ‘Hedes and helmys ther was, I telle ȝow withowttene lese, Many layde {one the gresse}, And many brode schelde.’
