460. Here among men, away from my true home: comp. 201/148; ‘And uten
erdes sorge sen,’ GE 956. #vten erd# was suggested by ‘Dies
peregrinationis vite mee,’ C., on which he comments, ‘Peregrinationis
dixit · quia sancti vitam hanc pro incolatu habent,’ words which are
paraphrased in ll. 461-464. Comestor had in mind, ‘Heu mihi quia
incolatus meus prolongatus est,’ Ps. cxix. 5 (actually quoted in
Zainer’s ed. of 1473).
