St. 41

p. 17, l. 458. Cf. Breul’s note to Sir Gowther, l. 410.

p. 17, l. 465. Cf. l. 2061 f.

St. 48

p. 20, l. 542. The scribe, who evidently didn’t know the pretty rare word clow, has spoilt it to colod, or colvd; the same rhyme, clouȝ, drouȝ, anouȝ occurs in Sir Tristrem, l. 1761 ff. Nor did the scribe know the word swowe = ‘noise,’ and changed it to swayne; cf. Hall. Dict., p. 843: He come to him with a swowe.

p. 20, l. 543. Of and on, off and on, intermittently.
