524. _I Iuge_, I decide. _Folk_, kind of birds; see note to l. 323.

545. _Oure_, ours; it is the business of us who are the chosen spokesmen.

The _Iuge_ is Nature.

556. _Goler_ in the Fairfax MS. is doubtless merely miswritten for _golee_,

as in Ff.; Caxton turns it into _golye_, to keep it dissyllabic; the

reading _gole_ (in O. and Gg.) also = _golee_. Godefroy has: '_Golee_,

_goulee_, _goullee_, _gulee_, _geulee_, s. f. cri, parole'; and gives

several examples. Cotgrave has: '_Goulée_, f. a throatfull, or mouthful of,

&c.' One of Godefroy's examples gives the phrase--'Et si dirai ge ma

_goulee_,' and so I shall say my say. Chaucer uses the word sarcastically:

_his large golee_ = his tedious gabble. Allied to E. _gullett_, _gully_.
