269. _ry<n>kande_, 'ringing'; Napier's suggestion for MS. _rykande_.

271-2. 'Nobody here has ill-treated you in an unmannerly way, nor shown

you <discourtesy>': the object of _kyd_ being understood from _vnmanerly

mysboden_. _habbeȝ_ for MS. _habbe_ is Napier's reading.

278-9. 'And cleft you with no grievous wound, <which> I rightly

<merely> proffered you, because of the compact we made fast', &c. It is

better to assume a suppression of the relative, than to put a strong

stop after _rof_ and treat _sore_ as sb. object of _profered_. This

latter punctuation gives _sore_ the chief stress in the line, and breaks

the alliteration and rhythm, which is correct as long as _sore_ is taken

with _rof_, so that its stress is subordinated.
