[553] Cf. Cotgr., Tressault: A start ... also, a leap.

[555] Cf. II, iii. 17; III. iv, 85.

[556] Think of it.

[557] Sherwood, To appall: Esmayer, descourager.

[559] breme, brim, furious; cf. V. 34.

[560] So in E. C. reads correctly 'the'; but A. has 'yat,' and M. 'that.'

[561] The names of the speakers in vv. 10 and 11 are by mistake in inverse order in E.

[562] 'mockage' is neither English nor French. Palsgr., Cotgr., etc., do not have it; Halliwell quotes it from "Collier's Old Ballads 48; Harrison, 235."
