Line 5. _Prins._ An inaccurate pedantic past participle of _prendre_.
Line 14. _Faulse._ There is to be noted here and elsewhere throughout
these extracts, until the modern spelling at the close of the period,
the redundant "l" in many words. It was an effect of pure pedantry. The
latin "l" had become _u_ in northern French. _Falsa_ made, naturally,
"Fausse." The partial learning of the later middle ages reintroduced an
"l" which was not known to be transformed, but was thought omitted.
Line 24. _Liesse._ One of the commonest words of this epoch, lost to
modern French. It means joy=_laetitia_.
Line 25. Note the gender of "Amour," feminine even in the singular
throughout the middle ages and renaissance--right up to the seventeenth
century.
