Notes

-
MS., M. wern; Sk. emends to were; B. would read bonkes.
-
MS., M. 1 aled; M. 2, Sk. [h]aled, but consistency in this respect would necessitate many more emendations.
-
M. unnecessarily inserts & after ryg; if any word is omitted, it would more probably be ne.
-
MS., M. þe masse þe mase; Sk. þe mase.
-
MS. to, letters curiously combined, o perhaps by another hand.
-
MS., M., Sk. waȝez, M. note wawez(?).

-
MS., M. smoltes; Sk. smolte, following M.'s suggestion in Glossary.
-
MS., M., Sk. kyst; Fi. (p. 42) and Sch. (p. 169) would read chyst for alliteration, but elsewhere form always kyst (see Glossary and Introd., p. lvii, n. 2).
-
M. 1 lorde; M. 2, Sk. borde, noting that MS. reads lorde; perhaps MS. intended for lorde; cf. 452 and Introd., p. x.
