348. The line, as it stands in the authorities, viz. 'And I herde goyng,
bothe vp and doune'--cannot be right. Mr. Sweet omits _bothe_, which throws
the accent upon _I_, and reduces _herde_ to _herd_' (unaccented!). To
remedy this, I also omit _And_. Perhaps _speke_ (better _speken_) is an
infinitive in l. 350, but it may also be the pt. t. plural (A. S.
_spræcon_); and it is more convenient to take it so.
