p. 79, l. 2269 ff. It may be that ll. 2269-71 and ll. 2272-74 are to be transposed, but I don’t think it necessary: Torrent’s men flee when they see that their chief has surrendered. p. 80, l. 2302. _wekid_ = wicked, mischievous. But I don’t recollect to have met with this adj. as an epithet to _land_ or _country_. p. 80, l. 2304. Cf. _Tristrem_, l. 88, Kölbing’s note to that passage, and _York Plays_, p. 438, l. 155: ‘For, certys, my lyf days are nere done.’ p. 80, l. 2316. The alteration of this line is rather a radical one; but there was no other way to restore the rhyme; I think that first, _day_ and _nyȝt_ had changed their places in line 2313, and then the copyist, in order to get a rhyme to _nyȝt_, spoilt the latter line. p. 81, l. 2335. _be my ffaye_ and _parmaffay_ in the same stanza, and both in the rhyme, are rather poor; one of these lines may have run thus: ‘Be god of heven, the king gan say.’ p. 82, l. 2357. The same confusion between _turment_ and _turnament_ occurs in _Ipomadon_, l. 2868; cf. Kölbing’s note to this line. p. 83, l. 2392. Cf. _Ipomadon_, l. 3958: ‘A mercy, syr, for Crystes pitte,’ and Kölbing’s note to this line. p. 83, l. 2395 f. Cf. Kölbing’s note to _Tristrem_, l. 3064, where he cites an interesting parallel passage to this line from _Guy of Warwick_, ed. Zupitza, l. 4707 f.: ‘Ȝyt þou art the trewest knyght, That euer slepyd in wynturs nyght.’ p. 83, l. 2405. _and_ is perhaps miswritten for _an_ or _on_. p. 83, l. 2407. This line, as it stands, is rather odd; perhaps it ought to be identical with l. 1128. p. 84, l. 2420. _juster_, _jouster_, means here a knight who joins in a joust or tournament: in the only other passage where it is known to occur, _Alis._, l. 1400, it is a horse for tourneying. p. 84, l. 2433 = l. 2456; cf. _Ipomadon_, l. 8830: ’_Euery man in there degre._’ p. 85, l. 2450. On _roial_, cf. Kölbing’s note to _Ipomadon_, l. 64. To _a roall ffyght_ may be compared Shakespeare’s _A royal battle_ (_Rich. III._, IV. iv.). p. 85, l. 2461. _with oute lent_ = ‘without fasting’? I have not met with this expletive phrase anywhere else. p. 86, l. 2493. It was not superfluous to mention this fact, because knights were very often killed in tournaments; cf. Niedner, _Das deutsche turnier im XII. und XIII. Iahrhundert_, Berlin, 1881, p. 24. See also R. Brunne’s _Handlyng-Synne_, ed. Furnivall, 1862, p. 144-6. p. 87, l. 2518-20. As to the meaning of _couplid_, cf. Mätzner, _Wörterbuch_, I. p. 491. These lines evidently mean that gentlemen and ladies sit alternately, what one calls in German, _bunte reihe machen_. Cf. A. Schultz, _Das höfische Leben Zur Zeit der Minnesinger_, I. p. 330, and P. Pietsch, Bunte Reihe, _Zeitschrift für deutsche Philologie_, vol. xvi. Halle, 1884, p. 231, who cites from _Biterolf_, l. 7399 ff.: ‘Do hiezens under mîne man Ir ingesinde wol getân Sich teilen in dem palas, Daz kein mîn recke dâ was, Ern sæze zwischen magedîn.’
