4. Al be I, although I am; common in Lydgate.
9. Thing, i.e. anything, everything, whatever thing.
15. Mieulx un, one (is) better; evidently cited from a motto or device. The meaning seems to be: it is better to have but one lover, and you have found one in a heart that will never shrink. In the Temple of Glas, 310, Lydgate uses the motto de mieulx en mieulx.
