Woyfully arayde.
Explicit qd. Skelton.
[588] Woffully araid] From the Fairfax MS. (which once belonged to Ralph Thoresby, and now forms part of the Additional MSS., 5465, in the British Museum), where it occurs twice,—(fol. 76 and, less perfectly, fol. 86); collated with a copy written in a very old hand on the fly-leaves of Boetius de Discip. Schol. cum notabili commento, Daventrie, 1496, 4to. (in the collection of the late Mr. Heber), which has supplied several stanzas not in the Fairfax MS. It was printed from the latter, not very correctly, by Sir John Hawkins, Hist. of Music, ii. 89. I have followed the metrical arrangement of the MS. in the Boetius.
[589] condempnyd] So sec. copy in Fairfax MS., and MS. in the Boetius. First copy in F. MS. “condemp.”
[590] Whereas neuer man was so] MS. in the Boetius, “Ah was never man soo.”
[591] rufull] MS. in the Boetius, “rowfully.”
[592] bobbid ... robbid] MS. in the Boetius, “bowde ... rowyd.”
[593] Onfaynyd] MS. in the Boetius, “Unfraynyd.”
[594] deynyd] MS. in the Boetius, “drynyde.”
[595] The] MS. in the Boetius, “Thes.”
