'Se vous volés ci confessier,
Et ce pechié sans plus lessier
Sans faire en jamés mencion,

The last of these lines is l. 12564 in Méon's edition. The last line in the
whole poem is l. 22052; leaving 9488 lines untranslated, in addition to the
gap of 5546 lines of the F. text at the end of Fragment B. Thus the three
fragments of the translation make up less than a third of the original.
The fact that Thynne gives the last six lines correctly shews that his
print was _not_ made from the Glasgow MS. Indeed, it frequently preserves
words which that MS. omits.
