3962. Perhaps read _he durste_.
3987. _purpryse_, enclosure; F. porprise, fem. Cotgrave has _pourpris_, m.,
in the same sense. See l. 4171.
4021. Read _in hy_, in haste, a common phrase; see l. 3591.
4032. 'No man, by taming it, can make a sparrow-hawk of a buzzard.' A
buzzard was useless for falconry, but a sparrow-hawk was excellent. The F.
text gives this as a proverb. Two similar proverbs are given in Cotgrave,
s.v. _Esparvier_.
4034. _musarde_, a sluggish, and hence a useless person; see l. 3256.
4038. _recreaundyse_, recreant conduct; F. _recreantise_.
4073. _goth afere_, goes on fire, is inflamed.
4096. _me_ sometimes occurs in M. E. as a shorter form of _men_, in the
sense of 'one'; but it is better to read _men_ at once, as it receives the
accent. If written 'm[=e],' it might easily be copied as 'me.'
