see Zupitza’s note to «Guy», 2408.
p. 85, l. 2981. «ayene» means “back.” So in «Genesis and Exodus», l.
1097:
“And bodem hem and tagten wel
ðat here non wente agen.”
Again, l. 3267:
“ðo quoðen he ‘wende agen,
An israel folc lete we ben.’”
p. 86, l. 3020. As it stands, this line does not scan well. Perhaps
we may read «month» instead of «monthes», and «childre» instead of
«children», and scan the line thus:
Foúnd two chíldrẹ of séven month oólde.
[Illustration: poetry scansion markup]
p. 87, l. 3021. «thay» : «Normandy». The rhyme, though imperfect,
cannot be objected to; but as the rhyme «e» : «y» («i») is frequently
employed by our author (see «Introduction», p. xliv), and was of rather
common use about that period (see Ellis, «Pronunciation», I. 271), we
might incline to the supposition that «he» is the true reading. Cf.
besides l. 2698.
p. 87, l. 3034. «mene» makes no sense. Perhaps we ought to read:
«mete», “food.”
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]
