Line 8 Ricchis turns, goes,
The king ...
Ricchis his reynys and the Renke metys:
Girden to gedur with þere grete speires.--T.B. l. 1232.
37 Þis kyng lay at Camylot vpon kryst-masse.
Camalot, in Malory's "Morte Arthure," is said to be the same as
Winchester. Ritson supposes it to be Caer-went, in Monmouthshire,
and afterwards confounded with Caer-wynt, or Winchester. But
popular tradition here seems the best guide, which assigned the site
of Camalot to the ruins of a castle on a hill, near the church of
South Cadbury, in Somersetshire (Sir F. Madden).
65 Nowel nayted o-newe, neuened ful ofte.
Christmas celebrated anew, mentioned full often.
Sir F. Madden leaves the word nayted unexplained in his Glossary
to "Syr Gawayne."
