310. #fort#: see 72/179.

312. #for mine þinge#, on my account: comp. ‘Ða ic þas stemne gehyrde

and for minum þingum ongeat beon geclypode,’ Ælf. Lives ii. 32/485; ‘þat

ich for þine þinge[;] mid sæxe me of-stinge,’ L 5033.

313. #blisseþ hit# can mean only, causes it to rejoice, comp. 14/50, 52.

Alteration to hine would give a common reflexive use, rejoices; comp.

‘Ne mei nan mon . . . blissien him mid þisse wordle,’ OEH i. 33/29: hine

would go with #hiȝteþ# also, as in ‘hyhte me myd my skentinge,’ ON 532;

‘ic . . . | ellen wylle | habban ⁊ hlyhhan | ⁊ me hyhtan to,’ Cod. Exon.

ed. Thorpe, 456/19. J means, blesses my coming.

318. #þat--wte# may mean, that thou mayest know, but the reading of J

gives a better sense, though you find fault with her action, and #þat#

is probably a scribe’s mistake for þah.

320, 323. #shulle#: the ordinary construction of #biddan# where its

object is expressed by a clause is þat with the subjunctive of the verb,

as at 77/60, 141/39; ‘þa bæd he eaðmodlice þæt he hiene ne sende,’ Cura

Past., 48/6; the insertion of #shulle#, which apparently does not alter

the sense, is new; comp. ‘Ðeo apostles hine beden ꝥ he scalde suggen

hwet þeo saȝe bicweðe,’ OEH 133/23.

327. #sume#: a mistake of the common exemplar for sumere, as Mätzner

pointed out: comp. ‘vor sumeres tide is al to wlonc,’ ON 489.
