Page 19, line 2 of Note 9, for "jantaculum," read "jentaculum." Page 29, end of "Sir Cleges." In the fourth volume of "The British Bibliographer," by Sir Egerton Brydges and Joseph Haslewood, these missing stanzas are given as the close of the poem of "Sir Cleges," from a MS. in the Ashmolean Collection at Oxford :

The Castell of Cardyff also

"Than he made hym hys steuerd

"The Kyng made hys son Squyre And gafe hym a loler for to were With a hundryth pownd of rente. When thei com hom in this manere Dame Clarys that Lady dere

"The Lady she lyved many yere

Tyll God dyde for them sende, For their godness that thei did here Their sawlys went to Hevyn clere, Ther is joy withouten end."

Page 32, for Note 17, read "So gat wan, in such way won.' Page 49, line 1132 of poem, for "swowle," read "swolwe.” Page 51, Note 2. The interpretation of "amayed," here given as accompanied," derives the verb from Old English "make," First-English "maca," Danish ". maga," a partner or mate, by softening the c or g to y. Possibly this is right, but I am indebted to the Rev. W. W. Skeat for the following note, which gives, I think, a better explanation of the word. Mr. Skeat says that amayed" is an example of "a very odd construction in Early English, which no one but myself has ever noted; and came on it by collating MSS. It is this: In A.-S. you can say gan on huntothe' to go ahunting. Now this odd ending, -oth, signifying the verbal noun, was mixed up with the p.p. ending -ed: so that you could say, in fourteenth century, to go a-hunted' a-hunting. There are two examples even in Chaucera caterwawed': = to go a-caterwauling (Wyf of Bathes Tale'); and again, to gon aa-blakeberyed': to go a-blackberrying. There are several in Piers Plowman, which was how I found it out they gon a-begged' they go a-begging ('Piers Plowman,' c. ix., 138), where one MS. (see foot-note) has 'gon a-beggeth.' See it all explained in my Preface to 'Piers Plowman'-compare text, p. 87. Why I mention it is because I firmly believe that 'he wolde ride amayed' would ride a-Maying-see your p. 51, line 10 (Gower). It was May, see four lines above."

to go

'to gon

= he

Page 53, Note 1, for the second and third sentences substitute, This old past tense was probably not from gan,' but from another verb akin to the Latin 'ire,' Greek eius,'

Page 58, Note 3, first line, for "year" read "of old.” Page 61, for Note 15 substitute this" The four syllables in 'governance' are made by sounding the final e, which, although a vowel follows, is saved from elision by its place in the middle pause of the line or cæsura. At this place of pause, as at the close of a line, even an additional syllable might be sometimes inserted. This is not an instance of the full sounding of the rn, though Shakespeare has even," &c. Omit last sentence but one "But perhaps Hoccleve repeated the form is be."

Page 62, Note 11, for second sentence substitute, "The final e in 'nightertale' is saved from elision by its place at the middle pause of the line."

Page 85, Note 5, for "allied to the German 'putzen,'" read ‘Icelandic, ‘bua sik,' prepare oneself."

Page 92, Note 1, substitute "Tray: First-English 'tréga,' vexation, trouble, grievance. There was the form 'tintrég for torment."
