3132. _chere_, face; _kid_, manifested, displayed.
3137. _kirked_, probably 'crooked,' as Morris suggests. It may be a mere
dialectal form of 'crooked,' or it may be miswritten for _kroked_, the
usual old spelling. Halliwell gives, '_kirked_, turning upwards,' on the
authority of Skinner; but a reference to Skinner shows that his reason for
giving the word this sense was solely owing to a notion of deriving it from
A. S. _cerran_, to turn, which is out of the question. On the strength of
this Wright, in his Provincial Dictionary, makes up the verb: '_Kirk_, to
turn upwards.' This is how glossaries are frequently written. The F. text
merely has: 'Le nes froncié.'
3144. _maugree_, disfavour, ill will.
3185. _with the anger_, against the pain.
3231. _trasshed_, betrayed; F. traï. _Trasshen_ is from the stem _traiss-_.
3234. _verger_, orchard; F. vergier; Lat. _uiridiarium_; so in ll. 3618,
3831.
3249. _to garisoun_, to protection, to safety; here, to your cure.
'Je ne voi mie ta santé,
Ne ta garison autrement.'
3251. _thee to werrey_, to war against thee; F. guerroier.
3256. _musarde_, sluggard; one who delays; F. musarde; see l. 4034.
3264. G. has _seyne_; Th. _sayne_. I prefer _feyne_. Not in the F. text.
3277. _passioun_, suffering, trouble; F. _poine_ pain.
3284. _but in happe_, only in chance, i. e. a matter of chance.
3292. _a rage_, as in Th.; G. _arrage_. Cf. l. 3400.
3303. _leve_, believe; for the F. text has _croit_.
3326. _in the peine_, under torture; see Kn. Ta. A 1133.
3337. _chevisaunce_, resource, remedy. Both G. and Th., and all old
editions, have _cherisaunce_, explained by Speght to mean 'comfort,' though
the word is fictitious. Hence Kersey, by a misprint, gives '_cherisaunei_,
comfort'; which Chatterton adopted.
3346. The F. text has 'Amis ot non'; so that 'Freend' is here a proper
name.
3356. _meygned_, maimed. This word takes numerous forms both in M. E. and
in Anglo-French.
3462. _at good mes_, at a favourable time (en bon point); see note to l.

3539. Cf. 'Regia, crede mihi, res est succurrere lapsis'; Ovid, Ex Ponto,
Ep. lib. ii. ix. 11.
3548. _This_, put for _This is_; as in Parl. Foules, 411.
3579. _moneste_, short for _amoneste_, i. e. admonish.
3604. 'You need be no more afraid.' Here Thynne has turned _thar_ into
_dare_; see l. 3761, and note to l. 1089.
3633. _to spanisshing_, to its (full) expansion. F. text, _espanie_,
expanded, pp. fem. of _espanir_, which Cotgrave explains by 'To grow or
spread, as a blooming rose.'
3645, 6. _vermayle_, ruddy, lit. vermilion. _abawed_, dismayed; variant of
_abaved_, Book Duch. 614; cf. l. 4041 below.
3699. _werreyeth_, makes war upon; cf. Knight Ta. A 2235, 6. The
corrections here made in the text are necessary to the sense.
