92. pitte, i.e. well of Helicon, most likely; which Chaucer mixed up with the Castalian spring on Parnassus; see note to Anelida, 15. And cf. the Pegasee in C. T., F 207; and 'I sleep never on the mount of Pernaso,' F 721.
95. Dyane, Diana; see C. T., A 2065-6.
97. his houndes, his own dogs; not her, as in several MSS. For see C. T., A 2067—'his houndes have him caught.'
102. pensifheed, pensiveness; common in Lydgate; see Schick, note to T. G. 2.
103. Cf. 'To drinke and fresshe him wel withalle'; R. R. 1513.
107-12. Suggested by R. R. 1507-16; especially 1515-6.

131. MS. P. has of colour; which suggests the reading—'In blakke and whyte, of colour pale and wan'; but this, though a better line, cannot stand, as it makes the words also of his hewe in l. 132 superfluous; indeed l. 132 then becomes unmeaning.
136. accesse, feverish attack; see Schick, note to T. G. 358.
