582. See the second of the interpolated stanzas in T. G., p. 21, ll. 6, 7:—
'Withoute desert; wherefore that ye vouche
To ponysshe hem dewely for here male-bouche.'

593. loves bond; founded on Boethius, lib. ii. met. 8, but doubtless taken from Troil. iii. 1766; see note in vol. ii. p. 483.
598, 603. 'Make him teschwe euere synne and vice'; T. G. 450.

Wright, pp. 5, 18.
