149. #for lepre#: The French has, ‘Por le lepre est deseurez hom de la
compaignie dautres genz . car cil qui moret en pecchie criminel . . .
cil pert la compaignie de deu . ⁊ de ses amis . ⁊ de ses angles
perdurablement.’ Probably the translator’s eye wandered from the former
‘compaignie’ to the latter; he then added ‘þat is to sigge’ &c., and
afterwards in l. 153 he returned to the omitted sentence.
