721. 'How we conducted ourselves that same night.'

726. 'That ye ascribe it not to my ill-breeding.' _narette_, for _ne

arette_. From O. F. _aretter_, to ascribe, impute; from Lat. _ad_ and

_reputare_; see _Aret_ in the New E. Dict. Also spelt _arate_, with the

sense 'to chide'; whence mod. E. _to rate_. So here the poet implies--'do

not _rate_ me for my ill-breeding.' The argument here used is derived from

Le Roman de la Rose, 15361-96.
