"for al ðat nigt he sogten ðor
ðe dure, and fundend neuere mor."
fundend = funden + ed = founden + et = found it. The author of the poem constantly joins the pronoun et = it to the preterite of weak verbs. See line [479], where letet = let it. [590] stodet = stod it = it stood. [1654] kiddit = kidd it = showed it. As the plurals of the present indicative do not end in -eþ or -et in the poem, but in -en (-n), cleped may be an error for clepeð or clepeth = calls, and men = O.E. me = one. See line [750].

And as high the flame shall go,
As the flood flowed on the downs (hill).

"Of his neose-þurles
cumeð þe rede leie."
