[1390]. forbyse, to give (thee) instances. Hardly a correct form; it should rather be forbysne, short for forbysnen, as the verb is formed from the sb. forbysne, A. S. forebȳsen, an example, instance. The word was obsolescent.

[1398]. Deiphebus (= Dé'phĕbús) is always trisyllabic.

[1410]. He means that he would do more for him than for any one, 'except for him whom he loves most,' i. e. Troilus.
