[60.] Syr Gawayn, l. 1932.
[61.] I would say that says me I = I myself say. —R. M.
[62.] Schonied occurs for schoned. No Southern writer would retain, I think, the i in the preterite.
[63.] Garnett asserts that the present participle in -ande is “a certain criterion of a Northern dialect subsequent to the thirteenth century.” It is never found in any Southern writer, but is common to many Midland dialects. Capgrave employs it frequently in his Chronicles. It is, however, no safe criterion by itself.
[64.] The final e is often dropped.
[65.] In The Wohunge of Ure Lauerd the e is constantly omitted.
[66.] “Syr Gawayn and the Grene Knyȝt.”
[67.] Taken with some few alterations from Sir F. Madden’s “Syr Gawayn.”
