2784. From Dionysius Cato, Distich. i. 2:--

'Plus uigila semper, nec somno deditus esto;

Nam diuturna quies uitiis alimenta ministrat.'

2785. Quoted again in G. 6, 7; see note to G. 7.

2789. _Fool-large_, foolishly liberal; Fr. text, 'fol larges.' Cf. 2810.

2790. _Chincherye_, miserliness, parsimony; from the adj. _chinche_, which

occurs in 2793. _Chinche_, parsimonious, miserly, is the nasalised form of

_chiche_; see Havelok, 1763, 2941; and see _Chinch_ in the New E.

Dictionary. To the examples there given add:--'A Chinche, _tenax_:

Chinchery, _tenacitas_'; Catholicon Anglicum.

'But such an other _chinche_ as he

Men wisten nought in all the londe.'

Gower, Conf. Amant. ii. 288.
