5. _In a place_, in one place. In the New E. Dictionary, the following is
quoted from Caxton's print of _Geoffroi de la Tour_, leaf 4, back:--'They
satte att dyner in _a_ hall and the quene in another.'
7. From Machault, ed. Tarbé, p. 56 (see p. 88 above):--'Qu'en lieu de bleu,
Damë, vous vestez vert'; on which M. Tarbé has the following
note:--'_Bleu._ Couleur exprimant la sincérité, la pureté, la constance; le
_vert_, au contraire, exprimait les nouvelles amours, le changement,
l'infidélité; au lieu de bleu se vêtir de vert, c'était avouer que l'on
changeait d'ami.' Blue was the colour of constancy, and green of
inconstancy; see Notes to Anelida, l. 330; and my note to the Squire's
Tale, F 644.
In a poem called Le Remède de Fortune, Machault explains that _pers_, i. e.
_blue_, means loyalty; _red_, ardent love; _black_, grief; _white_, joy;
_green_, fickleness; _yellow_, falsehood.
