Note O — BALADES741
Reading edition
Owing to the loss of a part of the leaf
(f.12)
on which the Latin occurs, the text of
ll. 9-12
and of the first prose quotation which follows is imperfect. It runs thus:
. . . . . pullus quo nunquam gracior vllus . . . . regit que tirannica colla subegit . . . ile cepit oleum quo regna recepit . . . ri iuncta stipiti noua stirps redit vncta. . . il proficiet inimicus in eo et filius iniqui . . . non apponet nocere ei.
The missing words are supplied from other copies of the same lines, which are found in a somewhat different arrangement in the All Souls’ and Glasgow MSS. of the ‘Vox Clamantis’ (the prose quotations in the latter only).
