FOOTNOTES.

[1] In this connection, we must not forget the curious story told in

Francis Thynne's _Animadversions_ on Speght's edition of 1598, to the

effect that his father (William Thynne) had some thoughts of inserting in

the volume a piece called _The Pilgrim's Tale_, but was advised by the king

to let it alone; and this, _not_ on the ground that the Tale was written

after 1536, and contained an allusion to _Perkin Warbeck_, but solely in

deference to the king's remark--'William Thynne, I doubt this will not be

allowed, for I suspect the bishops will call thee in question for it.' See

F. Thynne, _Animadversions_, &c., ed. Furnivall (Ch. Soc.), pp. 9, 89.

[2] These names are given, in the margin, in MS. Addit. 34360 only.

[3] Morris printed _sleepe_, giving no sense; MS. 10303 has _slepye_.

[4] The way in which the spelling was gradually altered can be seen even

from the following example, in which the eighth line of the Plowman's Tale

is represented:--

Ed. 1542. And honge his harneys on a pynne; fol. cxix.

Ed. 1550. And honged his harnys on a pynne; fol. xc.

Ed. 1561. And honged his harnis on a pinne; fol. xciii.

[5] So in Thynne. But 'tyme' really concludes a sentence; and 'there'

should have a capital letter.

[6] He had been imprisoned in 1384 (p. 33, l. 101); but at p. 49, l. 126,

he is leisurely planning a _future_ treatise! At p. 60, l. 104, he is in

prison _again_.

[7] See p. 128, l. 16. He did not care to be 'a stinking martyr'; p. 34, l.

115.

[8] Perhaps this is why Langland refers to 'the castel of Corf'; P.

Plowman, C. iv. 140.

[9] Rolls of Parliament, iii. 234 a.

[10] Professor Morley says:--'As Boethius ... wrote three books of the

Consolation of Philosophy," &c. But Boethius wrote _five_ books.

[11] One line is enough to shew the order of the texts; see p. xv,

footnote.

[12] But this proves nothing, as Urry departs from all sound texts in an

erratic manner all his own.

[13] The expression 'the quenes heed,' at l. 158, hardly implies that there

was then a queen of England. If it does, it makes the poem later than

October, 1396.

[14] The line, as it stands, is ambiguous; what Spenser meant to say

was--'the Ploughman that the Pilgrim playde awhyle'; which expresses the

fact. The subject is 'the Ploughman'; and 'that' means 'whom.'

[15] Mr. Wright says 1401, and refers to Capgrave's Chronicle. But this is

surely an error; see J. H. Wylie's Hist. of Henry IV, i. 277-8; with a

reference to the Close Rolls, 3 Hen. IV, 2. 16.

[16] Fairfax deduced the date from the poem here printed, l. 393.

[17] Shirley also refers to Lydgate's Temple of Glas; see Schick's edition

of that poem; p. lxxxii.

[18] Which is not the case; the text in the Trinity MS. is in the correct

order.

[19] Richard Ros, born March 8, 1428-9; Nichols, Hist. of Leicestershire,

vol. ii. p. 37.

[20] There is _no_ copy in MS. Harl. 7333, as said by error in vol. i. p.

39.

[21] There is no authority, except Thynne, for the title The Cuckoo and the

Nightingale. It has been repeated in all the printed editions, but does not

appear in any MS.

[22] 'In Hereford and the far West, not Oldcastle alone, but the Actons,

Cheynes, Clanvowes, Greindors, and many great gentlemen of birth, had begun

to mell of Lollardy and drink the gall of heresy.'--Wylie, Hist. of Henry

IV, vol. iii. p. 296. Sir T. Clanvowe was alive in 1404 (Test. Vetusta).

[23] The MSS. have _ran_ in C. T., B 661. _Man_ rimes with _can_ in Parl.

Foules, 479, and with _began_ in the same, 563.

[24] Perhaps, more strictly, a dedication, the true envoy consisting of the

last six lines only. But it is no great matter.

[25] Hence F. 148, 'As gret-e perl-es, round and orient,' reappears in A.

528 without the final _-e_, in the form: 'With gret' perlés, _ful_ fyne and

orient.'

[26] The examples of _trewly_ in Book Duch. 1111, 1151, are doubtful. It is

a slippery poem to scan. Elsewhere, we find _trew-e-ly_.

[27] F. and L. 134-138.

[28] F. and L. 151-158, 333.

[29] F. and L. 148, 224.

[30] F. and L. 192, 193.

[31] Cf. F. and L. 358-364.

[32] See the English translation in Bohn's Library, i. 214.

[33] A piece entitled 'De Duodecim Abusivis' is one of three pieces

appended to Ælfric's Lives of the Saints in MS. Julius E. 7.

[34] No. 61 is The Storie of Thebes, which he of course knew to be

Lydgate's; he adds it _after_ the note--'Thus endeth the workes of Geffray

Chaucer.'

[35] At the same time he struck out no. 56 (p. 34), as being by Lydgate.

[36] In Moxon's Chaucer, which professed to accept Tyrwhitt's canon, this

piece was omitted; but it was revived once more by Bell.

[37] See The Athenæum, Nov. 4, 1876; The Academy, June 3, 1878; Aug. 3,

1878.

[38] My remark upon the Trinity MS. in vol. i. p. 56, that 'most of the

pieces are in a handwriting of a later date [than 1463], not far from

1500,' does not apply to The Court of Love. This poem, together with two

poems by Lydgate, fills part of a quire of twenty-four leaves _near the

end_ of the MS., of which the seventeenth has been cut out and the last

three are blank; and this quire is quite distinct from the rest as regards

the date of the writing, which is considerably later than 1500, and

exhibits a marked change. There are two _lacunæ_ in the poem, one after l.

1022, and another after l. 1316; probably six stanzas are lost in each

case, owing to the loss of the two corresponding leaves in the original

from which the existing copy was made.

[39] I doubt if speculation as to the possible meaning of these names will

really help us.

[40] Which looks as if the author had written _grewen_ for _greven_, like a

Scotchman.

[41] A very bad mistake occurs in l. 1045, viz. _thou wot_ instead of _thou

wost_, as if one should say in Latin _tu scio_. It rimes with _dote_,

which, in Chaucer, is dissyllabic.

[42] There are many more; _fon-ne_ becomes _fon_, to rime with _on_, 458;

_tell-e_ is cut down to _tell_, 518; _behold-e_, to _behold_, 652;

_accord-e_, to _accord_, 746; &c. The reader can find out more for himself;

see ll. 771, 844, 862, 896, 1032, 1334, 1389, &c. In ll. 1063-4, we have

_opinion_ riming with _begon_, the Chaucerian forms being _opinioun_ and

_bigonne_ or _bigunne_!

[43] See vol. vi. p. xlv.

[44] The MS. has:--'Than is is lande'--by mistake.

[45] It is clear that The Plowmans Tale and Jack Upland were inserted by

Thynne and Speght respectively on religious grounds.

[46] We may safely assign to Lydgate the pieces numbered XXII and XXIII, as

well as those numbered VIII to XV.
