“Your wynde schakyn shankkes, your longe lothy legges
...
Bryngges yow out of fauyr with alle femall teggys.”
v. 29. vol. i. 117.
In what sense Skelton uses tegge, I cannot pretend to determine. In Warwickshire and Leicestershire, a teg means a sheep of a year old; and Ray gives, “A Tagge, a Sheep of the first Year, Suss.” Coll. of Words, &c., p. 88, appended to Proverbs, ed. 1768.
v. 152. Lyke rotten egges] Lydgate in a satirical description of a lady has—
“Colowryd lyche a rotyn eey [i. e. egg].”
MS. Harl. 2255. fol. 156.
v. 153. lewde sorte] i. e. vile set, low rabble.
v. 155. tyde] i. e. time, season.
