Note 26 — Chapter II
Reading edition
I give fragment of one, of the reign of Edward II., cited by Mr. Marsh: p. 247, English Language and Early Literature.
“Quant honme deit parleir, videat qua verba loquatur; Sen covent aver, ne stultior inveniatur, Quando quis loquitur, bote resoun reste therynne Derisum patitur, ant lutel so shal he wynne,” etc.
