[In addition to the note in our first Vol. p. 254, we may remark
that Mr. Halliwell, in his _Dictionary_, says this word has set
all editors of Chaucer at defiance. A clue to its meaning may be
found in Stanihurst's _Description of Ireland_, p. 28.: "These
sealie soules were (as all _dulcarnanes_ for the most part are)
more to be terrified from infidelitie through the paines of hell,
than allured to Christianitie by the joies of heaven."]
