302. 'And if I lament as to what life I lead.'

306. 'Your demeanour may be said to flower, but it bears no seed.' There is

much promise, but no performance.

309. _Holde_, keep back. The spelling _Averyll_ (or _Auerill_) occurs in

MS. Harl. 7333, MS. Addit. 16165, and MSS. T. and P. It is much better than

the _Aprill_ or _Aprille_ in the rest. I would also read _Averill_ or

_Aperil_ in Troil. i. 156.
