cum docet inde, logo,’ T. How the hart renews its youth is again told in
the Deposition of Richard the Second, 15/8-20, and there is a curious

familiar donet, a Latin grammar; OF. donet.

T. puts it, ‘cum naribus extrahit.’ #on on#, continuously; at 207/339,
forthwith.
224. #stoc . . . ston#: ‘de caveis terrae, de latebrisve petrae,’ T. The
translator uses a familiar combination.
