[Footnote E:]

"'Toward my death with wind I steer and sail.'

This is Urry's version, but Chaucer's text is,

'Toward my death, with wind in stern I sail,'

Troilus' bark careering towards death, with all sails set, before a fierce stern-wind."

"'Toward my death with wind I steer and sail.'

'Toward my death, with wind in stern I sail,'

(Professor Dowden, in the Transactions of the Wordsworth Society, No. III.)—Ed.
