in v. Nares prefers the etymology of _ripa_, but without reason. _Rip_
is still provincial for an osier basket. _See_ Jam. and Moore. So also
in a curious Latin and English Vocabulary, written out by Sire John
Mendames, Parson of Bromenstrope [Broomsthorp, Co. Norf.] in the middle
of the 15th cent., and now preserved in the valuable MSS. library of
T. W. Coke, Esq. _Cophinus_ is explained _A beryng lepe_, or _ryppe_,

_La[gh]am._ l. 25136, and see _selehðe_ in Stratmann's Dictionary of Old
English. The line seems to be a proverb, and the meaning is-- "Rest and

rest may accompany success, but cannot precede it.]
