Reading edition

See vol. i. p. 471. The French biographer of Eadward says (p. 57):—

“Godwin k’out mis entente

Cunquere tresor e rente,

Mut fu garniz e estorez

D’or e de argent dunt out asez,

Ke par plaiz e par achatz

De grant aver out fait purchaz;

Mut out cunquis par boesdie

Plus ke par chivalerie.”
