3. _aquile ... oleum_: this is the oil produced for Henry’s coronation,

which was said to have been miraculously delivered to Thomas à Becket

in a vial enclosed within an eagle of gold, and deposited by him in

the church of St. Gregory at Poitiers. It was said to have been

brought to England by Henry, first duke of Lancaster, and to have been

delivered by him to the Black Prince. Thus it came into the possession

of Richard II, who is said to have worn it constantly about his neck.

He had desired to be re-anointed with this oil, but archbishop Arundel

had refused to perform the ceremony (_Annales Henrici IV_, pp. 297-300,

_Eulog. Hist. contin._ iii. 380).

O RECOLENDE, ETC. (p. 345)

The first eight lines of this appear in the Trentham MS. in combination

with ‘H. aquile pullus’ as part of the dedication of the _Cinkante

Balades_.

16 ff. For ‘pietas,’ ‘pius,’ see note on _Cronica Tripertita_, iii. 462.

CARMEN SUPER MULTIPLICI VICIORUM PESTILENCIA (p. 346)

‘Putruerunt et corrupte sunt,’ &c. This is in fact a quotation from

the Psalms, ‘Putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae a facie

insipientiae meae,’ xxxvii. 6. (xxxviii. 5).

32. _quasi Iouiniani._ Already in the _Vox Clamantis_ we have had

reference to the ‘new Jovinian’ who is a sower of heresy (vi. 1267),

and the person meant is no doubt Wycliffe. Jovinian, the opponent of

Jerome on the marriage question, is taken as a type of the ecclesiastic

of lax principles. Milman calls Jovinian and Vigilantius ‘premature

Protestants’ (_History of Christianity_, Bk. III. ch. iv).

36. _sub grossa lana_: an allusion perhaps to the simple russet garb of

Wycliffe’s poor priests.

52 ff. Cp. _Vox Clamantis_, ii. 437 ff., whence many of these lines are

taken, e.g. 54-57, 60-77.

54. _mortis ymago_: that is, the mortal creature.

86. ‘time’ was probably written originally for ‘stude’ in SCH, as

well as in F, but it was perceived perhaps that ‘reuereri,’ which was

required for the rhyme, would not stand as an imperative. Similarly in

line 88 ‘Que fantasias aliter tibi dant’ stood no doubt originally in

SCH, and was altered for grammatical reasons.

181 f. This couplet is repeated from _Vox Clamantis_, vi. 861 f.

190. _quam prius_, for ‘prius quam,’ as frequently: cp. ll. 202, 292.

199. This line is from Ovid, _Metam._ vii. 826, ‘Credula res amor est,’

&c., and is quite without sense as it stands here: cp. _Vox Clamantis_,

v. 165.

203 f. 1 Cor. vi. 18.

246 ff. Cp. _Vox Clamantis_, vi. 445 ff.

250. _semel nisi_, i.e. ‘once only’ for ‘non nisi semel’: cp. _Vox

Clamantis_, iii. 22.

312. _bis deno Ricardi regis in anno._ The twentieth year of Richard II

is from June 22, 1396 to the same date of 1397. The arrests of Arundel

and Gloucester took place in the first few days of the twenty-first

year.

DE LUCIS SCRUTINIO (p. 355)

The Ecton MS. (E) gives a different form of the marginal notes, as

follows: 6. Nota de luce prelatorum et curatorum. 18. Nota

de luce professorum. 30. Nota de luce regum. 44. Nota de

luce procerum. 51. Nota de luce militum. 58. Nota de luce

legistarum et causidicorum. 67. Nota de luce mercatorum.

79. Nota de luce vulgari in patria. 89. Nota quod Iohannes Gower

auctor huius libri hic in fine tenebras deplangens pro luce optinenda

deum exorat.

25 ff. See _Praise of Peace_, 225 ff.

64 f. Cp. _Vox Clamantis_, v. 703.

91 ff. The language is of course figurative: we must not assume that

the author is referring to any physical blindness.

ECCE PATET TENSUS ETC. (p. 358)

This piece is found in the Trentham MS. f. 33 v^o, following the

_Cinkante Balades_. It is probably imperfect at the end, the manuscript

having lost the next leaf.

25. _que naturatur_, &c., ‘which is irresistibly disposed to that

which is unlawful.’ This seems to be the meaning, but it is awkwardly

expressed.

EST AMOR ETC. (p. 359)

This piece occurs also in combination with the _Traitié_: see vol. i.

p. 392. For the substance of it cp. _Vox Clamantis_, v. 53 ff.

QUIA VNUSQUISQUE ETC. (p. 360)

The form given by G is practically identical with that of the Fairfax

MS. That of the text, as given by SCH, varies from it in the first

paragraph, where it adopts the wording found in the second recension

copies, BTA. See vol. iii. pp. 479 and 550.

10. The word ‘meditantis’ is written over an erasure in G.

11 ff. This paragraph, as finally rewritten, seems intended to

include the _Cronica Tripertita_ as a sequel to the _Vox Clamantis_:

cp. p. 313, where in the note which connects the two works language

is used very similar to that which we have here. The author in his

retrospective view of Richard’s reign has brought himself to feel that

the earlier calamities were a divine warning, by the neglect of which

the later evils and the final catastrophe had been brought about. It

has already been pointed out (vol. iii. p. 550) that in the Fairfax MS.

this account of the author’s books is completely separated from the

text of the _Confessio Amantis_ and is written in a later hand, the

same in fact which we have here in the All Souls MS.

ENEIDOS BUCOLIS ETC. (p. 361)

These lines, which Gower says were kindly sent to him by ‘a certain

philosopher’ (not ‘quidam Philippus,’ as printed by the Roxburghe

editor) on the completion of his three books, are found also at the end

of the Fairfax MS. The author is probably the same as that of the four

lines ‘Quam cinxere freta,’ &c., appended to the _Confessio Amantis_,

which are called ‘Epistola super huius opusculi sui complementum

Iohanni Gower a quodam philosopho transmissa.’ I have ventured on the

conjecture that this philosopher was in fact Ralph Strode, whom Chaucer

couples with Gower in the last stanza of _Troilus_ with the epithet

‘philosophical,’ and of whom we know by tradition that he wrote elegiac

verse.

O DEUS IMMENSE ETC. (p. 362)

There is no reason why the heading should not be from the hand of

the author, though added of course somewhat later than the date of

composition. The phrase ‘adhuc viuens’ or ‘dum vixit’ does not seem to

be any objection to this. It is used with a view to future generations,

and occurs also in the author’s account of his books (p. 360, l. 4).

2. _morosi_: opposed here to ‘viciosi’; cp. l. 57 and _Epistola_ (p.

1), l. 33.

7. _foret_, ‘ought to be.’

19. Isaiah xxxiii. 1.

49. Cp. _Traitié_, xv. 7, &c.

62. _habet speciale_, ‘keeps as a secret.’

74. _recoletur_: apparently meant for subjunctive.

QUICQUID HOMO SCRIBAT, ETC. (p. 365)

Of the three forms given here we must suppose that of the Trentham MS.

to be the earliest. It is decidedly shorter than the others, it has

no prose heading, and it names the first year of Henry IV in such a

manner that we may probably assign it to that year. The poet’s eyesight

had then failed to such an extent that it was difficult for him any

longer to write; but complete blindness probably had not yet come on,

and he does not yet use the word ‘cecus.’ Of the other two forms it

is probable that that given by S is the later, if only because the

precise date is omitted and the very diffuse heading restrained within

reasonable limits. S, it is true, ends with this piece, while CHG have

the later pieces; but these were probably added as they were composed,

and the All Souls book may have been presented to archbishop Arundel

before the last poems were written.

This concluding piece is written in S in the same hand as the

_Epistola_ at the beginning of the book, the heading apparently

over the writing of another hand, some parts as ‘dicitur,’ l. 2,

‘tripertita--tempore,’ 2, 3, being obviously over erasure. The

original hand remains for ‘est qualiter ab illa Cronica que,’ ‘in

Anglia--rerum,’ ‘varia carmina--quia.’

ORATE PRO ANIMA ETC. (p. 367)

I have no doubt that this exhortation was set down by Gower himself,

who had probably arranged before his death for the promised indulgence,

following the principle laid down in the last poem of the collection,

of being his own executor in such matters. The verses ‘Armigeri

scutum,’ &c., which are appended in the Glasgow MS. were originally

upon his tomb, and they have every appearance of being his own

composition: cp. p. 352, ll. 217 ff. Berthelette after describing the

tomb says, ‘And there by hongeth a table, wherin appereth that who so

euer praith for the soule of John Gower, he shall, so oft as he so

dothe, haue a thousande and fyue hundred dayes of pardon.’

PRESUL, OUILE REGIS, ETC. (p. 368)

This is evidently addressed to archbishop Arundel. The comet referred

to is no doubt that of March, 1402. The evils complained of are the

conspiracies against the king, and we are told by the chroniclers that

the appearance of this comet in the north was taken as a presage of the

troubles in Wales and in Northumberland: cp. Walsingham, ii. 248. Adam

of Usk, who saw it when on the Continent, says it was visible by day as

well as by night, and that it probably prefigured the death of the duke

of Milan, whose arms were also seen in the sky (p. 73).

DICUNT SCRIPTURE ETC. (p. 368)

5. The neglect complained of is of prayers for the soul of the

departed. Gower seems to have followed his own precept and made

arrangements for some of the prayers in his lifetime, though others are

provided for by his will. Berthelette in his preface to the _Confessio

Amantis_ (1532) speaks of Gower’s place of burial as having been

prepared by himself in the church of St. Mary Overes, ‘where he hath of

his owne foundation a masse dayly songe. And more ouer he hath an obyte

yerely done for hym within the same churche, on fryday after the feaste

of the blessed pope saynte Gregory.’ St. Gregory’s day is March 12.

FOOTNOTE:

[819] Dr. Stubbs says that the earls of Worcester and Wiltshire

were appointed to represent the clergy on this commission, as on

that mentioned _Rot. Parl._ iii. 360, which consists of the same

persons; but the official record is as given above, and the commission

afterwards acted on its powers without requiring the presence of either

of these two lords (_Rot. Parl._ iii. 369).

GLOSSARY

The Glossary is not intended as a complete record of Gower’s Latin

vocabulary. It is a list of words which are unclassical in form or

usage, or seem to present some difficulty, with select references and

occasional explanations. Regular differences of spelling, such as _e_

for _ae_ and _ci_ for _ti_ are passed over without notice. The Roman

numbers without letters prefixed indicate books of the _Vox Clamantis_,

Ep. stands for the _Epistola_ at the beginning of the volume, C. T.

for _Cronica Tripertita_, V. P. for _Carmen super multiplici Viciorum

Pestilencia_, L. S. for _Tractatus de Lucis Scrutinio_, and the other

pieces are represented by their opening words. A few references only

are given, and common usages are illustrated chiefly from the first

book of the _Vox Clamantis_.
