(O.E. Miscell. pp. 16, 17.)

"Þar aros wale and win."

There arose slaughter and strife.—(Laȝ. i. 18.)

[349]

flesses fremeðe and safte same

boðen he felten on here lichame.

Lust of flesh, and shame of form

both they felt in their bodies.

fremeðe seems connected with fremen and frame. In the translation I have connected fremeðe with O.E. frim, vigorous; but it may be another form of O.E. frumðe, beginning. Then the translation of l. [349] would be 'the beginning of flesh and shame of form.'
