[Footnote T75: The sense, but not the metre, requires “in.”]

[T]har was the batell danger{us} & ſtrong, Gret was the pres, bat{h} perell{us} & throng; [Sidenote: The black knight is borne to the ground.] The blak kny{ch}t is born on to the ground, His horß hyme falyth, that fellith dethis wound. 3368 [Sidenote: The six comrades go to the earth.] The vi falowis, that falowit hyme al day, Sich was the preß, that to the erth go thay; And thar in myd among his ennemys He was about encloſit one ſich wyß 3372 [Sidenote: None know where he is.] That quhare he was non of [his] falowis knew, Nor my{ch}t no{ch}t cum to help hyme, nore reſkew.

NOTES.

[It may be observed, once for all, that the expression _in to_ repeatedly occurs where we should simply use _in_; and _one to_ is in like manner put for _unto_. The ending _-ith_ (for _-ed_) is frequent in the past tense, and _-it_ (also for _-ed_) in the past participle, though this distinction is not always observed. A still more noticeable ending is _-ing_ (for _-en_) in the infinitive. Observe further that the letters _v_, _u_, and _w_ are perfectly convertible, and used quite indiscriminately; so that _wpone_ means _upon_; _vthir_ means _uthir_, i.e., _other_: _our_ is put for _over_; _vounde_ signifies _wound_, etc.]

Page 1, line 1. _The soft morow._ This nominative case has no verb. A similar construction occurs in the first lines of Books II. and III.

4. _Uprisith--his hot courss_, Upriseth in his hot course; _chare_, chariot.

11. _assay_, assault.

13. _wox_, voice.

17. _frome I can_, from the time that I did.

18. _It deuit me_, it availed me. Jamieson gives “_Dow_, 1. to be able; A.S. _dugan_ (_valere_), to be able. 2. to avail; Teut. _doogen_.”

P. 2, l. 23. _hewy ȝerys_, heavy years.

24. “Until that Phœbus had thrice gone through his full circuits” (lit. spheres). See the peculiar use of “pas” in other places.

30. _be the morow_, by the morn.

43. _walkith_, walked.

50. _I-clede_, y-clad, clad. Ch. has _clede_.

54. “No one within thought he could be seen by any wight outside.”

P. 3, l. 56. _clos it_, enclose it; the MS. has _closit_.

57. _alphest._ This reading of the MS. is an error for _alcest_. See Chaucer, Prologue to Legend of good women, l. 511:

“The gret{e} goodnesse of the quene Alceste, That turned was into a dayesye,”

Alceste being the contracted form of Alcestis.

59. _Wnclosing gane_, did unclose.

60. “The bright sun had illumined the spray, and had updrawn (upwarped) into the lusty air the night’s soft (sober) and moist showers; and had made the morning soft, pleasant, and fair.” With this difficult passage we should compare l. 2477.

66. _Quhill_, until.

67. _till ony vicht_, to any wight.

83. _A-licht_, alighted.

84. _levis in to were_, livest in doubt.

108. _seith, for to consel_, saith, that as for concealing or shewing, etc.

109. _althir-best_, lit. best of all; see Chaucer’s use of _alderfirst, alderlast_.

P. 5, l. 127. _lat be thi nyss dispare_, let be thy nice (foolish) despair.

128. _erith_, earth.

134. _schall hyme hating_, shall hate him. The termination _-ing_ is here the sign of the infinitive mood after the verb _shall_.

140. _Set_, although.

146. _tak one hand and mak_, undertake and compose; _trety_, treatise; _vnkouth_, unknown, new.

151. _belevis_, believe will please thy lady.

P. 6, l. 161. _troucht_, truth.

163. _discharge_, release.

170. _spir_, sphere.

171. “At command of a wise (god from) whose vision,” etc. We sometimes find in old English the adjective “a wise” used absolutely for “a wise man.” See “Le Morte Arthur,” ed. F. J. Furnivall, l. 3318.

175. _tynt_, lost.

177. _be this worldis fame_. Here again, as in many other passages, “be” expresses with relation to, as regards.

185. _yaim_, them.

191. _demande_, demur.

P. 7, l. 198. _Quhill_, until.

200. _conten_, treat; lit. contain.

204. _redis_, read.

214. “I will not waste my efforts thereupon.”

219. _wnwyst_, unwist, unknown.

225. _nome_, name.

226. _Iwondit to the stak_, very deeply wounded; but there is no doubt about the origin of the phrase. See Glossary.

228. _astart_, get rid of it, escape it.

P. 8, l. 240. _dedenyt to aras_, deigned to pluck out.

244. _hurtare_, hurter.

275. _in to that gret Revare_, in that great river.

284. _o gret confusione of pupil and knychtis_, al enarmyt, a great medley of people and knights, all fully armed. Stevenson actually reads _unarmyt!_

294. _I wil report_; both here and in l. 320 we should almost expect to find “_I nil report_;” i.e. I will not tell. It must mean, “I will tell you why I omit to mention these things.” Compare lines 266, 320.

297. _thing_, think.

P. 10, l. 305. _veris_, wars.

306. _be the wais_, by the ways.

307. _Tuex_, betwixt; _accorde_, agreement.

314. _mot_, must.

320. “As to whose name I will only say, that it is unfit,” etc.

326. _stant_, standeth.

328. _yroung_, rung.

330. _beith_, shall be; observe the _future_ sense of _beith_ in this place.

331. _suet_, sweet.

332. “His soul in bliss preserved be on that account.”

334. _and this endit._ Whether _endit_ here refers to _inditing_ or _ending_ is perhaps doubtful.

NOTES TO BOOK I.

P. 11, l. 336. If by _aryeit_ is here meant the _sign_, not the _constellation_ of Aries, the day referred to is April 1 or 2, according to Chaucer’s “Astrolabie.”

338. _bewis_, boughs.

340. _makyne gone_, did make.

341. _in ther chere_, after their fashion. (For _chere_, see Glossary.)

352. _For why_, wherefore; so also _for-thi_, therefore.

354. _can_, began.

355. _sende_, sent.

358. _heryng_, hear (infin. mood). In the next line it occurs as a present participle.

364. _meit_, to dream of; _aperans_, an appearance, apparition.

P. 12, l. 365. _hore_, hair.

422. _shire_, sir.

424. _fore to awysing_, in order to take counsel.

432. All this about _astronomy_ (i.e. astrology) should be compared with Gower; Conf. Amantis, lib. vii; ed. Pauli, vol. 3, pp. 133, 134. Arachell, Nembrote, Moises, Hermes are there mentioned as astrologers.

433. The MS. has “set” (_not_ with a long _s_). Mr Stevenson has “fet,” which would seem right.

P. 14, l. 435. _nembrot_, Nimrod; see _Genesis and Exodus_ (E.E.T.S.), l. 659.

436. _herynes_, miswritten for _herymes_, i.e. Hermes.

504. _there clergy_, their science.

P. 16, l. 519. “Through the watery lion, who is also faithful, and through the leech and eke the water also, and through the counsel of the flower.” It is very possible this passage is partly corrupt; l. 520 should certainly be (as may be seen from lines 2010, 2056),

“And throuch the leich withouten medysyne.”

The meanings of lion, leech, and flower are fully explained, however, in lines 2013-2120.

524. _weyne_, vain.

527. _passid nat his thoght_, left not his thoughts.

531. _rachis_, braches, dogs.

533. _grewhundis_, grayhounds.

536. This purely conjectural line is merely inserted to carry on the sense. It is imitated from line 3293. In the next line we should read “grewhundis,” rather than “grewhund.”

538. _Befor ther hedis_, before their heads.

P. 17, l. 545. “All armed, as was then the fashion.”

546. _salust_, saluted.

548. _kend_, known.

566. _recist_, resist; _mone bee_, must be.

622. _varnit_, warned.

626. “Though the season of the year was contrary.”

627. _atte_, at the.

688. _holde_, held.

691. _presone_, prison.

697. _peite_, pity.

699. The metre of Lancelot’s lament is that of Chaucer’s “Cuckoo and Nightingale,” and was very possibly copied from it. _Qwhat haue y gilt_, what crime have I committed.

702. _ago_, gone.

703. _nat_, naught; _me glaid_, gladden me.

706. _til haue_, to have.

709. _Sen thelke tyme_, since that time.

P. 22, l. 718. _of remed_, for a remedy.

719. _sesith_, ceaseth.

723. _with this lady_, by this lady.

728. _laisere_, leisure.

731. _diuerss wais sere_, divers several ways.

733. _bur_, bore.

735. _cher_, car.

740. _dout_, to fear.

745. _but were_, without doubt. This expression often occurs.

P. 23, l. 751. _few menye_, small company; an oddly sounding expression to modern ears.

753. _cold_, called.

754. _hot_, hight, was named.

755. _but in his cumpany_, unless he had with him.

757. _He saith_; the speaker is the captain of the hundred knights, called in l. 806 _Maleginis_.

815. _ferde_, fourth.

817. _sauch thar latter batell steir_, saw their last division stir.

P. 25, l. 820. _gane his mortall fell._ A word seems here omitted; if after _mortall_ we insert _strokis_, the sense will be, “His enemies began his mortall strokes to feel.”

825. _worth_, worthy. It would improve the metre to read _worthy_ (l. 875).

828. _In to were_, in war, in the strife.

829. _hyme bure_, bore himself.

839. _to-for_, heretofore.

841. _Atour_, i.e. _at over_, across.

842. _assall_, assault. The rime shews we should read _assaill_, as in l. 855.

849. _socht atour_, made their way across. The use of _seke_ in Early English is curious.

P. 26, l. 861. _setith his payn vpone_, devotes his endeavours to.

868. _al to-kerwith_, wholly cutteth in pieces.

880. _dirk_, dark.

883. _tan and slan_, taken and slain.

P. 27, l. 895. It frequently occurs in the MS. that a space is left at the beginning of a line, and the first letter of the line is omitted. It is evident that the intention was that the first letter should be illuminated, and that this, after all, was not done. Here, for instance, the T is omitted, as indicated by the square brackets. So also in l. 1083, etc.

897. _pasing home_, go home.
