The Lay of Havelok the Dane

Note 123 — PREFACE. (continued 3)

Reading edition

Cf. l. 1904.

* The MS. reading blinne should clearly be blunne. A few other suggestions of emendations will be found in the Glossarial Index. See the words Arwe, Birþe, Felde, Sor, Tauhte, Þenne, Thit, Werewed, Wreken, &c. See also the suggestions in the preface, pp. xxxix, xli, xlvi, xlvii.

124 So in MS. Qu. faste, as in next line.

125 MS. here repeats messe, by mistake. Read pateyn. Cf. l. 187.

126 MS. wīman, i.e. winman or wimman; but we are sure, from l. 174, that winnan is meant.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
