28. #in wið in#: see 130/57.

30. #lechnunge#, healing, medicine: a rare word, found in the Ureisun of

God Almihti, OEH i. 202/16.

31. #wið ute longe steuene#, ‘without a long tale,’ Brock. But it seems

preferable to connect the noun with OE. #stefn#, time, giving the sense,

without long delay, much the same as ‘efter lutle stounde’: the

repetition is quite in the manner of the writer; comp. ‘doð hire biliue

to deað buten abade,’ SJ 73/3; ‘Anan þrefter sone com a seli wummon,’

id. 77/9.

R 25. For omission of the subject #ha#, see 6/18. #hire unwilles#, to

her sorrow, an adverbial genitive: #unwil# is the opposite of ‘wil,’

joy, pleasure, 133/62. A similar adv. phrase is #hire unwil# in 141/36;

comp. ‘min unwil hit is[;] to don al ꝥ ti wil is,’ SM 13/3. For the

construction see 10/167, and 165/263.

37. #truked# = trukeð from trukien is the usual form; see 72/183: the

derivative trukeneð R 26 appears to be quite isolated.

38. #daheðes# is apparently genitive of *daheð, daȝeð, noun derivative

of ME. daȝien, to dawn, used adverbially, at dawn. In R 27 euch deis dei

means at daylight (dawn) of each day: it is apparently without parallel.

The Latin has ‘per singulos dies.’

39. #reowfule reames#: see 130/55. #wissede#, would direct: _pt.

subjunctive_.

R 30. #summes weis#, some while, as at 124/236, corresponding to summe

hwile in B.

42. #lihten se lahe#, descend so far: comp. 176/20, 199/79, 206/306;

‘loke þenne her bi hwa se of hire maidenhad lihteð in to wedlac; bi hu

moni degrez ha falleð duneward,’ HM 23/24; ‘liht to ure lare,’ SK 1011.
