41. #Siðen#, after, practically means when; comp. ‘Siðen ghe brocte us
to woa, | Adam gaf hire name eua,’ GE 237, not ‘since,’ Mätzner. It is
an adverb at l. 70 and nine other places, meaning afterwards. With
#unwelde# comp. ‘Vn-welde woren and in win, | Here owen limes hem
wið-in,’ GE 347.
42. #wrong#, awry; OWScand. rangr; comp. ‘⁊ all þatt ohht iss wrang ⁊
crumb | Shall effnedd beon ⁊ rihhtedd,’ Orm i. 321/9207; see also
177/62, 178/69, 70: al to is then altogether, exceedingly. But Mätzner
assumes a participle *#to-wrungen#, which is without parallel. T. has,
corresponding to ll. 61, 62, ‘Est autem rostrum quo carpitur esca
retortum,’ but nothing here; with ll. 41-43 comp. ‘Solet dici de Aquila
dum senectute premitur, quod rostrum illius aduncetur et incurvetur, ita
ut sumere cibum nequeat et macie languescat,’ H. de S. Victor, ii. 417.
46. ‘Fons ubi sit quaerit qui nunquam surgere desit,’ T., from ‘fons
aquarum, cuius non deficient aquae,’ Isa. lviii. 11.
48. #⁊# rubricated as though beginning another line. #teð#, proceeds;
comp. 184/266, 274; ‘To-warde egipte he gunne ten,’ GE 1953.
50. #seuene#: he flies through seven to the highest, eighth, heaven;
comp. ‘Eiȝte firmamenz þare beoth: swuche ase we i-seoth. | þe Ouemeste
is þe riȝtte heouene: in ȝwan þe steorrene beoth. | for godes riche is
þare a-boue: þat last with-outen ende | . . . | þare bi-neoþe beoth
seoue firmamenz,’ SE. Legendary, 311/413.
