Quoth Esau, "The time of mourning shall pass away,
And I shall take vengeance of (on) Jacob."
[1577] grot is a noun formed from the vb. to grete (to weep, mourn), just as wop is from wepe (weep). It is the same as the O.E. gret, grete, cry, outcry.

"Be thou there," quoth she, "till Esau
Appeased be, who rages now."
Eðe-moðed (= eðe-moded) is literally easy-minded, humble, mild, and hence soft-mooded, appeased. S.Sax. edmod, eadmodied, edmodie. See Laȝ. ii. 554; Ancren Riwle, 246, 278. The insertion of be is necessary to the metre as well as to the sense.
