94. #was#: for omission of the subject see 6/18 note.

95. #Moveth togidere#: D has ‘Puissiez ore,’ A, ‘Espucet,’ and the

Vulgate, ‘Haurite nunc.’ The translator probably read esprucet (with AF.

u for o) = esprochez; his rendering would then mean, Draw nigh,

approach.

96. #þat--iserued#: apparently from Comestor, Historia Euangelica, c.

xxxviii, ‘architriclino ·i· primati inter conuiuantes in triclinio;’ the

French is quite different.

97. Possibly he has dropped out before #hedde idrunke#, but A has ‘e

cume out guste.’

99. #ibrocht#: ‘puissie,’ D; ‘espuce,’ A. The word seems to have puzzled

the translator here, as at l. 95.
