84. _Amended._ Compare what is said of Zenobia; C. T., B 3444.

85. I have supplied _Arcite_, which the MSS. strangely omit. It is

necessary to _name_ him here, to introduce him; and the line is else too

short. Chaucer frequently shifts the accent upon this name, so that there

is nothing wrong about either _Arcíte_ here, or _Árcite_ in l. 92. See Kn.

Tale, 173, 344, 361, &c. on the one hand; and lines 1297, 1885 on the

other. And see l. 140 below.
