106. #bare#: see 152/56.

107. #þare#: so the MS.; Wells thinks it a scribe’s mistake for ware

representing #hwæþer#, but C has elsewhere only hwaþer, wather, hweþer,

weþer, and the interrogative pronoun is apparently not contracted.

Probably the scribe has left out the first syllable and has been

influenced in writing the second by bare in the preceding line.
